Genshin Impact 3.6 update schedule: Server downtime and new banner release date

sportskeeda.com:

Genshin Impact players are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the 3.6 update, which promises new characters, events, and other exciting features. The release date for the new banner featuring Kaveh and Baizhu has also been highly anticipated, with many players eager to add these new characters to their rosters.

HoYoverse developers, however, have a history of rolling out server maintenance before the release of any version update. Players can expect to see some server downtime as the update is officially released. In this article, we'll look at the Genshin Impact 3.6 update schedule, including the expected server downtime and the new banner release date.

Genshin Impact recently released all of the exciting content that's planned for the upcoming version 3.6 update. Players anticipate the patch release as they eagerly wait to spend their Primogems on new banners and participate in brand new events. Although officials are yet to announce the release date for the patch 3.6 update, it can be safely assumed that the new version will launch at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on April 12, 2023.

This date aligns perfectly as the current Phase II banners will go down a day before the new patch release date. To ensure a smooth gameplay experience, the developers will run server maintenance before the actual update rolls out.

Based on previous update maintenance periods, Genshin Impact's servers are generally shut down at 6:00 am (UTC+8) on April 12, 2023. This downtime usually lasts for five hours and fans will be unable to access their accounts during this period of time. Players will later be compensated with around 300 Primogems for this inconvenience, which will be sent directly to their in-game mail.
