1.1 Update Summary

Full Announcement Text


Dear Travelers,

To bring you the best-possible Genshin Impact experience, the developers will soon perform version update maintenance, during which the servers will be down. After the update maintenance, a brand-new version will be available.

After downloading the new version of the game, Travelers will be able to experience the new content. As the update size is rather large, we recommend you download the update while connected to Wi-Fi.

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.
