Version

Versions (or Updates/Patches) are significant updates in Genshin Impact. Each version normally lasts 6 weeks or 42 days.HoYoLAB: Future Versions and Events
Versions are labeled using a versioning scheme that reflects the significance of the changes. Genshin Impacts version numbers follow a common format found in many versioning systems in which the left-most number increases for major updates, while the right-most number increases for bug fixes. For the majority of 6-week version updates, it is the second number in the version tag that is incremented. However, for very significant updates, such as the introduction of a new primary region in Teyvat, the first number may be increased instead. 
The first patch in each version is labeled as X.Y.0, and subsequent patches (X.Y.1, X.Y.2, etc.) address major issues that require a client update through the Game Launcher or App Store.

==Maintenance==
All maintenance periods, except for the Version 1.0.1 maintenance, are usually scheduled to last 5 hours, typically starting at 06:00 UTC+8. The Version 1.0.1 maintenance was scheduled to last for 4 hours. Players will receive compensation of for each hour the server is down, with a minimum compensation determined by the expected maintenance duration. For example, a scheduled 5-hour maintenance guarantees at least even if it only lasts 4 hours. To be eligible for the compensation Mail, players must be Adventure Rank 5 or above before the maintenance begins. Compensation must be claimed before the end of the Version. If any bug fixes or issues are to be discovered within the game before maintenance, players will be compensated with .
Starting one hour before maintenance, scrolling banners will periodically appear in-game at the top of the screen. These banners will display a message at 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minute(s) before the scheduled maintenance time, stating:  
* Dear Travelers, Genshin Impact servers will be down for maintenance in about {X} minutes. Please plan your game time and progress accordingly. For more details, see the in-game notice.
Players who remain in-game until the start of maintenance will be disconnected and sent to the login screen. If users attempt to log in during maintenance, they will see a maintenance notice displaying the times for the maintenance.
Players may use the pre-download feature to obtain the latest version of Genshin Impact up to 48 hours before its official release. This allows users to download the new update resources in advance, ensuring quicker access to the game once the version goes live. To pre-install an update, players can navigate to the Paimon Menu and access the Settings, use the launcher, or pre-download on the main login screen. Announcements regarding pre-installation are typically included in the Version Update Maintenance notice for each version 48 hours before the update maintenance.
