Genshin Impact is ready to launch the highly anticipated version 3.8 update. The upcoming patch is officially scheduled to launch at 11 am (UTC+8) on July 05, 2023, only a few hours from now.

Genshin Impact 3.8 maintenance schedule and downtime
Official announcements from Genshin Impact have revealed details about the “Summer Secret Paradise“version 3.8 update maintenance schedule.

Based on the official notice, version 3.8 update maintenance will start at 6 am (UTC+8) on July 05, 2023.
Any player logged in during this time will be kicked out as the server undergoes maintenance. Access to game accounts is restricted, and players will have to wait for the server maintenance to end.
The new version 3.8 update will also go live when the update maintenance ends on the same day at 11 am (UTC+8). Players can refer to the list below that shows all relevant timezones and when the servers will go live:

Genshin Impact officials have enabled the Pre-Installation function
Genshin Impact officials enabled the Pre-Installation function before the release of the patch 3.8 update. This is a useful function that is only activated a few days before the arrival of a new patch. Players on PC and mobile can use this to download large game files in advance, significantly decreasing the installation time when the new update rolls out.
Note that this function will stay active even after the server maintenance begins.
