ZZZ 2.1 – server downtime

The servers for Zenless Zone Zero will temporarily shut down on July 16, 2025, at 6 a.m. (UTC+8), to allow for the implementation of update 2.1. Here’s how this affects your time zone:

ZZZ 2.1 – release time

Typically, HoYoverse doesn’t require additional time beyond the scheduled five hours, which means that under regular conditions, you can expect to download Zenless Zone Zero patch 2.1 within this timeframe according to your timezone.

  • July 15, 8pm PDT
  • July 15, 10pm CDT
  • July 15, 11pm EDT
  • July 16, 12am BRT
  • July 16, 4am GMT
  • July 16, 5am CET
  • July 16, 8:30am IST
  • July 16, 11am CST
  • July 16, 12pm KST/JST
  • July 16, 1pm AEST
  • July 16, 3pm NZST

For every hour of server downtime, you’ll get 60 Polychromes as compensation. This means you’re guaranteed to receive at least 300 Polychromes for the inconvenience. If maintenance takes longer than expected or if we’ve fixed bugs that affected gameplay in the last version, you’ll receive even more Polychromes. Don’t forget to check your inbox and collect your free currency while Version 2.1 is active; otherwise, it might disappear to a place Phaethon himself can’t reach!

ZZZ 2.1 – preload

The pre-download for Zenless Zone Zero update 2.1 has been made accessible across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android devices. This means you can download a significant portion of the update files prior to the release date, making it possible for you to jump into the gameplay faster on launch day.

ZZZ 2.1 – download size

The file sizes for updates in HoYoverse games can differ based on your device, the languages you’ve chosen to install, and the content you’ve previously experienced. However, here’s an estimate of the typical size for the preload of ZZZ 2.1:

(Average Size)

  • PC: 8 to 9 GB
  • Mobile: 5 to 6 GB
  • PS5: 14 to 15 GB
  • Xbox: 20 to 21 GB

Ensure that you’ve got some spare room on your device beyond the specified size, because the game might momentarily need extra free space to extract all the data files before it can install the update properly.
