Genshin Impact 3.1 is right around the corner. A new update to this beloved game is always exciting news, but timezones can be a tricky business for some Travelers. Ergo, the following countdowns should be helpful tools for those who don't understand what 6 am (UTC+8) or 11 am (UTC+8) means in their time.

Maintenance is expected to last for five hours. Thus, it's easy to deduce that Genshin Impact 3.1 should officially launch at 11 am (UTC+8) on September 28, 2022. The above
