The Genshin Impact servers will go down on February 28, 2023, for maintenance work ahead of update 3.5, Windblume’s Breath.

As per usual, the patch has a whole host of brand-new content in tow: new character banners expand the roster of Genshin Impact characters, more events and quests are coming, and Genius Invokation TCG also gets a bunch of fresh cards.

Find out here when the Genshin Impact servers go down, for how long they’ll be unavailable, and when you can finally start into Genshin Impact 3.5.

Genshin Impact 3.5 compensation

Traditionally, MiHoYo will give every player of Genshin Impact an amount of 60 primogems for every hour that server maintenance lasts, which means that you can expect a compensation of at least 300 primogems in your in-game mailbox once the servers are back up and running.

An additional 300 primogems will be handed out if there were any issues that needed to be fixed in the previous version. Genshin Impact is pretty polished overall, but there usually are a few small technical things that the developers need to address, bringing the compensation up to 600 primogems most of the time.
