Understanding the Maintenance Window
Genshin Impact will undergo essential maintenance leading up to the release of the "Luna 5" update, requiring a temporary shutdown of game servers. Players should note the precise timings to plan their gameplay accordingly. The maintenance period is crucial for implementing the new patch seamlessly, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated game environment. It is advisable to complete any ongoing in-game activities, such as consuming accumulated Resin, before the servers go offline to avoid any potential loss of progress or resources.
The maintenance is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, February 24, or Wednesday, February 25, depending on your geographical location. The server downtime is expected to last for approximately five hours. For players on the West Coast of North America, maintenance will begin at 2 p.m. PST on Tuesday, February 24, while those on the East Coast will see it start at 5 p.m. EST on the same day. In Brazil, the downtime kicks off at 7 p.m. BRT. European players in the U.K. and Western Europe should expect maintenance to begin at 10 p.m. GMT and 11 p.m. CET respectively, both on Tuesday. Moving to Asia and Oceania, players in Japan will experience maintenance starting at 7 a.m. JST on Wednesday, February 25, and those on the East Coast of Australia at 9 a.m. AEDT on the same day. During this period, the game will be inaccessible, so making preparations like expending Resin is recommended, although the new battle pass will activate post-maintenance, suggesting a strategic approach to weekly tasks.
Anticipating the "Luna 5" Launch
Following the conclusion of the maintenance period, the "Luna 5" version of Genshin Impact will become live, ushering in a wave of new content and playable features. Players around the globe are eager to dive into the refreshed game world and experience the latest additions. The launch times are carefully coordinated to follow the maintenance, ensuring that the game is fully updated and stable for all users. While these times are generally reliable, slight variations can occur depending on the maintenance's progress.
The "Luna 5" update is projected to go live immediately after maintenance concludes. For West Coast North American players, this means an anticipated return to the game at 7 p.m. PST on Tuesday, February 24. East Coast players can expect the launch at 10 p.m. EST on the same day. In Brazil, the update should be available at 12 a.m. BRT on Wednesday, February 25. European users in the U.K. will see the game back online at 3 a.m. GMT on Wednesday, while those in Western Europe can access it at 4 a.m. CET. For players in Asia and Oceania, the "Luna 5" version is expected to launch at 12 p.m. JST in Japan and 2 p.m. AEDT on the East Coast of Australia, both on Wednesday, February 25. Developers typically adhere closely to these schedules, but minor adjustments are always a possibility depending on the maintenance process, though extensions are rare and early completions do happen.
