HoYoverse has officially revealed the rollout plan for Genshin Impact Version 7.0: “Everwinter Without Mercy”. Scheduled to launch on August 12, 2026, the patch already supports pre-installation. Below is a complete breakdown of server downtime, player rewards, and essential preparation steps.

Keep up with the latest Genshin Impact updates by following GenshinBuilds.

Quick Facts

  • Downtime Schedule: August 12, 2026, at 06:00 (UTC+8), projected for 5 hours
  • Reward Payout: Primogems ×300 (calculated at 60 per hour of downtime)
  • Requirement: Adventure Rank 5 or higher prior to server shutdown
  • Pre-load File Size: Roughly 8 GB on PC, approximately 3 GB on mobile

Downtime and Rewards Overview

Servers will go offline starting August 12, 2026, at 06:00 (UTC+8), with the maintenance window projected to run for 5 hours. To thank players for their patience, HoYoverse will distribute 300 Primogems through the in-game mailbox within five hours of the servers coming back online. Make sure to collect your mail within 30 days before it expires.

Only Travelers who have attained Adventure Rank 5 or higher before maintenance commences are eligible for these rewards. Additionally, the compensation must be claimed prior to the conclusion of Version 7.0.

Pre-Loading Instructions

The pre-installation feature is currently active, enabling users to download necessary update files early to speed up the launch process.

  • PC Users: Roughly 8 GB
  • Mobile Users: Approximately 3 GB

Please note that total file sizes can fluctuate depending on your active voice-over packages, with the estimates above reflecting a single language pack.

To begin pre-loading, launch your game client on PC or visit the Google Play Store or App Store on mobile to trigger the download. This runs safely in the background without disrupting your current gameplay session.

Pre-Update Checklist

  • Burn Your Resin: Prevent capping at 160 by spending your Resin before the servers go dark.
  • Finish Daily Commissions: Wrap these up prior to the maintenance window to avoid missing out.
  • Collect Battle Pass Trophies: Ensure you redeem any unclaimed items if your current Battle Pass period is concluding.
  • Inspect Your Serenitea Pot: Gather accumulated realm currency and pending furnishings.
  • Manage Your Inventory: Review your resources and use Fragile Resin strategically to optimize your gameplay.
