What is the Genshin Impact 4.1 release date?
We predict that the Genshin Impact 4.1 release date went live on Wednesday, September 27. However, this is just a prediction, so we’ll be sure to update this guide as soon as we know more.
Before that, we expect that Genshin Impact went into maintenance for roughly five hours starting September 26 at 15:00 PST / 18:00 EST / 23:00 BST, or July 16 at 6:00 UTC+8. Each time maintenance concludes you receive a minimum of 300 primogems in your in-game mailbox as compensation for the game’s downtime.
