Genshin Impact maintenance will end at 11.00 AM (UTC+8) on May 31, 2022, which is also when the 2.7 Update is expected to launch. Maintenance will begin at 6.00 AM (UTC+8) on May 31, 2022, and is expected to last the usual five hours that Travelers know and love (hence the aforementioned 11.00 AM time).

The game will be unplayable during that time, which is inevitably why some players might be looking up this topic.

Maintenance compensation will include 300 Primogems (60 Primogems per hour it's down, with 300 being the bare minimum). Travelers must be Adventure Rank 5 or higher to claim it in their mail. Keep in mind that the mail will expire in 30 days if it isn't collected beforehand.


When does Genshin Impact 2.7 maintenance end?

miHoYo explicitly states:

"Update maintenance begins 2022/05/31 06:00 (UTC+8) and is estimated to take 5 hours."

Not every part of the world does the year/month/day format, but it should be obvious that it reads as May 31, 2022. Adding five hours to 6.00 gives players the 11.00 AM estimate. If Genshin Impact players don't know when 11.00 AM (UTC+8) is in their timezone, then the next section might help them.
