Genshin Impact servers often undergo maintenance right before the launch of a major update. HoYoverse does this to ensure a smooth launch during release. This isn't a rare occurrence in live service games. The upcoming v3.6 will be the same, where everyone will be removed from the servers before launch. As per the server time, Genshin Impact 3.6 is scheduled to be released at 11 am UTC +8.
