Genshin Impact maintenance ending time and 3.0 Patch release time (EDT and other timezones)

Genshin Impact 3.0 is right around the corner, and Travelers inevitably have a few questions regarding its maintenance. For those who don't know, the process begins at 6:00 AM (UTC+8). The event will last for five hours, meaning that it will end at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). Likewise, the new Version Update also goes live at the same time.

This article will include the different timezones equivalent to 11:00 AM (UTC+8). It won't mention the specific maintenance start times, but Travelers can simply subtract five hours from each timezone if they wish to know that.

Otherwise, it's worth looking at the topic at hand and skipping through the filler.

Maintenance information

The above tweet contains a hyperlink to all of the new content that Travelers can expect to see in Genshin Impact 3.0. As exciting as it is, players still need to wait for maintenance to end before that can happen. The official patch notes state:

"Update maintenance begins on 2022/08/24 06:00 (UTC+8) and is estimated to take 5 hours."

Adding five hours to 6:00 AM (UTC+8) gives players a time of 11:00 AM (UTC+8). Thus, that's when Genshin Impact 3.0 maintenance will end and also where all of the aforementioned timezones come into play.

Do note that these timings are solely based on HoYoverse's listed time shown above. If any delays happen, then it won't be reflected here.
