It is no secret that Genshin Impact can suck players in for dozens of hours a week, and there’s always something new to do, from unlocking brand-new characters to completing a wealth of quests, and much more. As with all other online games, Genshin Impact servers can go down for maintenance<\/a>, or run into technical issues, which will cause travellers as much sadness as Klee can showcase in the image above.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we explain how you can know when Genshin Impact servers go down, and how to check the server status so everyone stays calm during these inevitable periods.<\/p>\n

When do Genshin Impact servers go down?<\/h2>\n

As you require a constant internet connection to play Genshin Impact, knowing when servers could go down is an important aspect to plan your game time.<\/p>\n

Servers can go down due to an unlikely technical issue, or when developer miHoYo pushes out a significant game update.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the image above, when a big new Genshin Impact update hits, servers go down. On average, players can expect a downtime of roughly five hours (and some Primogems as compensation) when servers go down to push out a new update.<\/p>\n

How to check Genshin Impact server status<\/h2>\n

There are a few ways to check the Genshin Impact server status. It is something travellers should do first, before throwing their gaming devices or checking their internet connections for possible errors.<\/p>\n

First up, miHoYo will notify players about any changes to the Genshin Impact server status with the game’s official Twitter account, and via a HoYoLAB post<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There’s also another way to check if the Genshin Impact server status, faster than the developers might even be able to write a post. You can simply visit the DownDetector page for Genshin Impact<\/a> and see if others have been reporting issues as well.<\/p>\n
