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

Genshin Impact Luna I – or Version 6.0 in the traditional naming convention – is set to launch in the current week, finally opening the gates to Nod-Krai.

Update Luna I kicks off the Song of the Welkin Moon saga for real: The Traveler accompanies Ineffa back to Nod-Krai to continue their journey, but is quickly scooped up by the troubles that have the region in their grasp — the Abyssal Wild Hunt and the Fatui occupation.

Naturally, players can expect reinforcements for their roster on the Genshin Impact Luna I banners in the form of Lauma, Flins, and Aino.

Genshin Impact update Luna I: release time

HoYoverse rarely needs any more time than the scheduled five hours of downtime to get all that work done, so here’s when Genshin Impact update Luna I should be available in your timezone according to schedule:

• September 9, 8pm PDT
• September 9, 10pm CDT
• September 9, 11pm EDT
• September 10, 12am BRT
• September 10, 4am BST
• September 10, 5am CEST

• September 10, 12pm KST/JST
• September 10, 1pm AEST
• September 10, 3pm NZST

Each hour of downtime will be compensated with 60 Primogems, so you can expect a total of 300 Primogems to be headed your way. In case there are technical hiccups, HoYoverse tends to apologize for the inconvenience by adding another helping of Primogems to the gift. In any case, don’t forget to claim the bundle in the 30 days following the update, as the message containing the freebies will delete itself after that deadline.

Genshin Impact update Luna I: preload

You can already preload Genshin Impact update Luna I on PC, iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. By downloading the update early, you’ll cut down the waiting time on patch day and can jump into the game without any additional delay.

Note that Genshin Impact will be delisted from the PlayStation Store on PS4 following this patch, so if you want to continue playing the game on the platform until it ends its service there in 2026, make sure to download the game before maintenance begins. You’ll be able to update and play as normal for the time being, as long as the game is installed at that point.

Expected download size for Genshin Impact Luna I:

• PC: 8 to 10 GB
