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

The next major update for Genshin Impact, version 6.1 (named Luna II), will be released on October 22, 2025. It continues the Traveler’s story in the new region of Nod-Krai and introduces Miliastra Wonderland, a highly anticipated feature allowing players to create their own content.

The latest developments, driven by Version Luna II, are leading to a conflict between Rerir and Columbina. Columbina will have the Traveler’s support, and Varka is working to unite all groups in Nod-Krai to fight alongside her, including powerful Fatui Harbingers like Sandrone and Arlecchino.

Completing the Luna II banners will let you recruit Nefer, who can help unite everyone and prepare for the battle ahead.

  • October 21, 10pm PDT
  • October 22, 12am CDT
  • October 22, 1am EDT

You’ll receive 60 Primogems for every hour the game is unavailable, meaning you should get around 420 Primogems this time. HoYoverse often adds extra Primogems as an apology if there are any technical issues. Just remember to claim your reward within 30 days of the update, as the message with the free Primogems will disappear after that.

Genshin Impact update Luna II: preload

The Genshin Impact Luna II update is now available to download on PC, iOS, Android, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Preloading the update will save you time on launch day, letting you start playing immediately when the patch goes live.

The Miliastra Wonderland content won’t be included in the PS4 version of the game, and the PS4 version will no longer be supported starting next year.

Genshin Impact update Luna II: download size

Expected download size for Genshin Impact Luna II:

  • PC: 11 to 12 GB
  • Mobile: 3 to 4 GB
  • PS5: 40 GB
  • Xbox: TBD

The download size changes depending on which voice packs you have and how much space you’ve already freed up on your device, so it won’t be exactly the same for everyone.
