What are Versions in Genshin Impact?

Regular Patch Updates

Versions are regular major updates that usually lasts for 42 days, regardless of the game server. Each Version has respective minor updates denoted by (Version X.#), where (#) corresponds to the order of when each update was rolled out.

All Versions typically have 8 minor updates, excluding Version 1, which only lasted until Version 1.6, as opposed to Version 2 and 3, both of which lasting until Version X.8. Version 4 is also expected to last as long.

It's not guaranteed, however, that this same version scheming will apply on the upcoming Version 5 update.

Version Phases

Version Phases are internal counters of each minor update that are divided into two Phases. A single phase lasts for 21 days, or 3 weeks, which is also representative of the availability of the Event Wish Character and Weapon banners of that Phase.

Hence, each limited banner in a single minor update are commonly referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2 banners to specify which Phase each banner is part of.

What is Server Maintenance?

Scheduled Version Updates

Server Maintenance is a bi-monthly system update scheduled to take at least 5 hours after commencing, which also signals the start of a minor patch. Although each Version has two phases, only Phase 1 gets a Server Maintenance for every update.

Furthermore, 300 Primogems are given to Travelers after each maintenance, and for every hour that goes past the 5-hour mark, Travelers who are AR5 and above, are eligible to receive a compensation of 100 Primogems.
