Genshin Impact 5.0 release and maintenance times
When you can finally go to Natlan in Genshin Impact
The Genshin Impact 5.0 release times are just around the corner. In just a few hours, you can expect Genshin to go offline while HoYoverse adds Natlan, a new set of Archon quests, and a whole lot more to the RPG, and as always, it’ll stay offline – and, ergo, unplayable – for several hours. HoYoverse only gives its times in UTC, a timezone most people don’t use as a reference, but we’ve broken down the Genshin Impact 5.0 maintenance times and release times below to make life easier.
While you're waiting for Natlan to arrive, check out our Genshin Nightsoul explainer for the low-down on how the region's new mechanic works.
Genshin Impact 5.0 maintenance time
HoYoverse is usually consistent with server maintenance times, and Genshin 5.0 maintenance is no different. Like with previous updates, you can expect Genshin to go offline at 6 a.m. UTC+8. Here’s what that looks like.

Genshin Impact 5.0 release time
