As a thank you for Travelers' patience during the Genshin Impact Version 4.6 maintenance period, HoYoverse has offered generous maintenance compensation!
Titled "Two Worlds Aflame, the Crimson Night Fades", Version 4.6 brings players to a brand new area in Fontaine that holds the remnants of an old civilisation. It also introduces Arlecchino, the formidable Fartui Harbinger, as a new playable character. Be sure to collect and use the Primogem compensation to pull for your future party members!
Genshin Impact 4.6 update maintenance compensation
In keeping with tradition, HoYoverse has gifted players a hefty amount of Primogems as a token of appreciation for their patience during the server maintenance downtime and as an apology for some now-resolved gameplay issues.
Following the completion of the five-hour maintenance window starting from 6 AM to 11 AM (UTC+8) on April 24, 2024, players can expect to receive 600 Primogems as a reward. To claim your Primogems, simply log into Genshin Impact after downloading the 4.6 update.
However, there are a couple of important caveats to note. To be eligible for the compensation, players must have reached Adventure Rank 5. Additionally, the rewards will be available through the in-game mail system but must be redeemed before the end of Version 4.6 as the mail carrying the Primogems expires after 30 days. So make sure to collect your compensation in a timely manner!

HoYoverse isn't letting Fontaine fizzle out – exciting plans are brewing for the remaining part of the cycle, with a wealth of quests and events to keep players engaged!
