Genshin Impact 2.6 Update Release Time Countdown, Maintenance Schedule Free Primogems

The Genshin Impact 2.6 update maintenance will kick off at 6:00 AM (UTC+8). As usual, the maintenance will be lasting for 5 hours. It will complete at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). For each hour the game is on maintenance, players will get 60 Primogems as compensation. That means there will be a total of 300 Primogems to players. If the maintenance gets completed earlier, players will still get the 300 Primogems compensation.

Thankfully, miHoYo didn't disappoint and we have some pretty great characters in the banner. Venti is a part of the banner, a character that is quite sought by players. Along with that, we have the likes of Yunjin and Sucrose too, so it seems like a number of players will in fact pull in this banner. Here are the characters coming in the first banner of the update.
