Genshin Impact 3.8 has finally arrived! This immensely popular anime-inspired RPG game continues to captivate players since its initial release in 2020. With the highly anticipated summer update of 2023, "Secret Summer Paradise", players will have the opportunity to explore a new limited-time region and indulge in exciting new gameplay mechanics. There will also be much-anticipated character rerun banners.
As is customary, HoYoverse has rewarded Travellers for their patience during the server maintenance downtime. Here is all the information you need to know about Version 3.8, including maintenance compensation, how to download the update, and a quick rundown of what the summer update has in store for us!
3.8 maintenance compensation
As a token of appreciation for players' patience during the server maintenance downtime, HoYoverse has delivered generous maintenance compensation. Following the completion of the five-hour maintenance window, players can now collect 300 Primogems in their in-game mailbox. To claim this reward, simply log in and claim the Primogems in your mailbox after downloading and installing the 3.8 Update.
However, there are a couple of important details to note. Firstly, to be eligible for the compensation, players must have reached Adventure Rank 5. Additionally, the rewards must be redeemed before the end of patch 3.8, as they will expire after 30 days. So make sure to collect your compensation in a timely manner!
