Genshin Impact update Luna I release time, server downtime, and preload

In simple terms, the new update for Genshin Impact, known as Luna I or Version 6.0, is scheduled to release this week, marking the long-awaited entrance into Nod-Krai.

The adventure in Luna I officially commences the tale of the Welkin Moon: The Traveler joins Ineffa for their onward voyage, yet finds themselves caught up almost instantly by the conflicts that plague Nod-Krai – the Abyssal Wild Hunt and the control exerted by the Fatui.

Indeed, these Genshin Impact banners on Luna I are likely to offer new recruits to your squad. The characters you might encounter are Lauma, Flins, and Aino.

For every hour of downtime, you’ll receive 60 Primogems, which means you’re due for a grand total of 300 Primogems. In case of technical issues, HoYoverse typically compensates for the inconvenience by offering even more Primogems on top of the gift. Just remember to collect the bundle within 30 days following the update, because the message with the freebies will automatically delete itself after that time.

Genshin Impact update Luna I: preload

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve got an early heads-up! You can preload Genshin Impact’s Luna I update on PC, iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. This nifty feature allows you to trim down the wait time on release day, ensuring a smooth transition into the game without any extra delay once the update goes live!

Keep in mind that after this upcoming patch, Genshin Impact will no longer be available on the PlayStation Store for PS4. If you wish to carry on playing the game on this platform until its services cease in 2026, ensure you download it before maintenance commences. You’ll then have the ability to update and continue playing as usual, provided that the game is installed at that point.

  • PC: 8 to 10 GB
