Genshin Impact 1.3 release time – countdown to Xiao’s banner Mihoyo has confirmed when you can expect Genshin Impact‘s next update to go live. The developer posted an update to its website that details everything you need to know from downtime and compensation to event timings and general quality of life changes. Downtime for Genshin Impact’s 1.3 update will kick off on February 2 at 14:00 PST / 17:00 EST / 22:00 GMT, and should last “about 5 hours”, Mihoyo confirms. However, that is all subject to change as you can never be sure what might pop up. You’re getting compensation to the tune of 300 Primogems for the downtime, which equates to 60 every hour. Mihoyo does say, though, that you’ll still get the entire sum if the update wraps up early.
