HoYoverse is finally bringing Genshin Impact to Xbox Series X|S and the game will be available in its version 5.2 there at the same time as on PC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android.
Update 5.2 has a duo of new characters in store in the form of Chasca and Ororon. While Natlan remains in the focus, the main story will be on a break until version 5.3 rolls around – instead, the new story content will feature adventures with Chasca, Iansan, and The Captain in the aftermath of the great Abyss invasion.
Here are all the details on the Genshin Impact update 5.2 start and server downtime.
The Genshin Impact servers are scheduled to go offline on November 20, 2024, at 6am (UTC+8) in preparation for update 5.2. Here’s what that means for your timezone:
The Genshin Impact servers are estimated to be offline for a period of five hours, after which players can return to Natlan or dive into the mysterious world of Teyvat for the first time.
Usually, HoYoverse doesn’t need any more time than the scheduled five hours, so here’s when Genshin Impact update 5.2 should be available in your timezone:
Each hour of downtime will be compensated with 60 Primogems for free, so a total of 300 of the in-game currency will be up for grabs once the dust has settled. In case things go terribly wrong somehow, HoYoverse always offers additional compensation. Don’t forget to claim this gift in the 30 days after the update, as the message will delete itself after that deadline and take those free Primogems with it.
You can already preload Genshin Impact update 5.2 on PC, iOS, Android, PS4, and PS5. There does not appear to be a preload function for the Xbox Series X|S version of Genshin Impact that will launch with this update.
Expected download size for Genshin Impact 5.2:
Note that your download size will depend on the voice packs you’ve got installed and the amount of content you’ve already cleared, hence the variations.
