Apart from the infamous extension of Genshin Impact 2.6, which caused Ayaka's banner in Genshin Impact to hold the record of the longest banner time in the game, Genshin is really consistent with their six-week patch cycle; every new update always comes on Tuesday (US time) or Wednesday. As the developer resides in China and Singapore, the time they use as a reference is UTC +8, which means the date they set may not match for players on the other side of the world, like the United States.

Therefore, this article converts HoYoverse's UTC +8 time so you don't have to. Players can check back whenever they wish to know when is the next Genshin Impact update, or when Genshin Impact maintenance ends or starts.
