Genshin Impact 1.1 Patch Notes Revealed

Genshin Impact is just one day away from the deployment of patch 1.1, or what’s supposed to be the biggest one ever received by the game. Genshin Impact is a free-to-play game that has managed to shake the whole world with its open-world aspect. Genshin Impact is obviously expecting a lot of patches to strengthen the game’s integrity and content, which players are looking forward to.

Patch 1.1 has just received its official patch notes. The patch notes imply a 5 hour-long maintenance window that is going to be compensated by the developer. Once the servers are up and players log back in, they will get approximately 300 Primogems as compensation for the game’s downtime. If the game downtime lingers more, then the players will probably get extra 60 more Primogems per hour.

Genshin Impact’s patch 1.1 will deploy on Wednesday, starting at 06:00:00 (UTC +8). (Precise times are subject to change. Players may also experience disruption outside of this period.)
