Genshin Impact 2.8 Maintenance - Start and End Time, Free Primogems

Genshin Impact 2.8 update is all set to drop on July 13 with Heizou, Kazuha, a new hangout event, story quests, and much more. However, before the update gets released, HoYoverse will take the servers down for maintenance. 

During this period, no one will be able to play the game until the servers are back online. Here's the complete maintenance schedule for Genshin Impact 2.8 update so that you can plan your grind time ahead of it.

Genshin Impact 2.8 update maintenance is will begin on July 13 at 06:00 (UTC+8) and will run for five hours, i.e., till 11:00 (UTC+8). So, make sure to complete your quests in progress before the maintenance begins to get your rewards. 

Also, if you are planning to pull Itto, Shinobu, or any other character or weapon from the current banners, you should do it as soon as possible before the end of their banners on July 12.

 

In addition to this, HoYoverse will be compensating Travelers for the downtime by rewarding them with a total of 300 Primogems for free.

Players having Adventure Rank 5 or above before the release of the 2.8 update will be able to claim these free Primogems from the in-game mail sent by HoYoverse.

However, make sure to claim them within 30 days after the release of the Genshin Impact 2.8 update, as the mail will expire after that.

Travelers can use these Primogems to wish for various characters and weapons in the game by purchasing Intertwined Fates. In addition to this, you can also use them to buy Hero's Wit, Mora, character outfits, and more in the game. 

You can have a look at the official trailer of the Genshin Impact 2.8 update called Summer Fantasia below.
