Here’s everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact 3.0 update.
When will Genshin Impact’s 3.0 update be released?
The Genshin Impact servers will go down on August 23, 2022 at 11pm UK time, in order to start processing the new update.
They will be down for approximately five hours, and will return with the new update ready to go on Wednesday, August 24 at 4am in the UK.
It may take a little longer than this, but if you want to start as soon as the update drops, you should be ready around this time.
How long is it before Genshin Impact’s next major update?
Genshin Impact’s next major update isn’t planned for a long time yet, but smaller updates will be added to version 3.0 to keep things fresh.
Previously, each update came roughly every six weeks, but 3.0 hopes to shorten this time and give everyone a lot more content.
However, it also means that the characters available to you will be available for a week less than usual, so you had better start playing the gacha soon.
