Genshin Impact 1.6 Release Time, Countdown, Server Maintenance, Free Primogems, UTC+8 to ET

Today, miHoYo has announced the release time and server maintenance info, along with the rewards players will be getting. The update maintenance will begin on 9th June, at 06:00:00 (UTC+8) or 6pm ET.

The server maintenance will go on for about 5 hours, so players can expect to be able to log back into the game at around 11pm ET. Do note that the maintenance timings might change. For each hour the servers are down, players will be getting 60 Primogems.

That means, for a total of 5 hours, players will be getting a total of 300 Primogems. If the game is down for more hours, the compensations will consequently increase. However, if the maintenance finishes early, players will still get a minimum of 300 Primogems, miHoYo has confirmed.

The 1.6 Update will be bringing tons of new stuff into the game, so fans are eagerly looking forward to it. With just a few hours to go for the update to release, players will be able to try it out pretty soon.
