Genshin Impact version 2.7 is releasing on May 30 / May 31 depending on your timezone, and will become playable after a maintenance period of roughly five hours. After the maintenance is over, players will be able to hop in and explore all the new content in the update, Hidden Dreams in the Depths. Below we've broken down the Genshin Impact 2.7 release times by region:

  • USA West Coast: 8PM PST, May 30
  • USA East Coast: 11PM EST, May 30
  • UK: 4AM BST, May 31
  • Europe: 5AM CEST, May 31
  • Australia: 1PM AEST, May 31
  • New Zealand: 3PM NZST, May 31

It's also worth noting that you can pre-install the update ahead of time if you're playing on PC or Mobile. On the login screen, Mobile players can tap the settings icon on the bottom left corner of the screen and see an option to pre-install a resource package. If you're on PC, all you have to do is boot up the Genshin Impact launcher and click the pre-installation button next to the launch button. Doing either of these will cut down on that unnecessary wait time before you jump into the action.
