Genshin Impact update: Server maintenance and Genshin 1.4 patch notes

    802

    The Genshin Impact 1.4 update has a release date set for Wednesday, March 17, but this will also mean servers being taken offline for maintenance.

    In the build-up to the new version of the game being launched, Mihoyo will have to take servers down for around five hours.

    This will means gamers being unable to complete core functions, or play on live servers until it’s completed.

    The good news is that we know when Genshin Impact servers will be going down and when update 1.4 will be available to play.

    WHEN DOES GENSHIN IMPACT MAINTENANCE START?

    According to Mihoyo, Genshin Impact servers will be going down at 10pm GMT on Tuesday, March 16, 2021.

    Genshin 1.4 maintenance will last five hours and will happen across all platforms, including PS4, Mobile and PC.

    Mihoyo has also confirmed that there will be compensation to players, 60 Primogems for every hour the servers are down.

    A message from the development explains: “To ensure all Travelers have the best-possible Genshin Impact experience, our developers will soon begin performing update maintenance. After this is complete, the game will update to a new version.

    “After Travelers install the new game client, they will be able to continue playing. It is recommended to install the update over a Wi-Fi connection owing to the large file size.

    “While the update maintenance is in progress, Travelers will be unable to log in to the game. Please take note of the update time and schedule your game time accordingly to avoid losing your progress. We hope Travelers will bear with us during the disruption. > <

    “Update maintenance begins 2021/03/17 06:00 (UTC+8) and is estimated to take 5 hours. Precise timings are subject to change. Players may also experience disruption outside of this period.”

    Mihoyo has also shared early patch notes for Genshin Impact 1.4, including news regarding new features and the upcoming character banners:
