I was halfway through my coffee when three push notifications landed: a new Genshin update, servers going down, and a character that fans have been whispering about for years. You can feel the room tighten when a release date drops—players clear schedules and wallets holster for the banners. I’ll walk you through the exact times, what to expect during maintenance, and the quick actions that keep your Primogems safe.
On my commute I watched players on a group chat arguing over timezones — When Is Genshin Impact Luna V (6.4) Coming Out?
You don’t need to guess: the Luna V update rolls out regionally so you can plan your pull or login window. For North America the version launches on February 24, 2026 — 08:00 PM PST. For most other regions the live moment is February 25, 2026 — 11:00 AM CST. The update is a quiet tide pulling you back to Mondstadt and the Knight of the Boreas story.

When will Genshin Impact Luna V maintenance start?
The NA servers begin maintenance at 03:00 PM PST on February 24, 2026. Servers for the rest of the world start at 06:00 AM CST on February 25, 2026. Expect roughly a five-hour window where login isn’t possible.
When is Genshin Impact Luna V releasing?
The global rollout completes at the times above — the canonical release timestamp held by Hoyoverse is the 11:00 AM CST on February 25, 2026 marker for regions outside NA.
Which characters are featured in Genshin Impact Luna V banners?
Banner lineups include a mix fans debate in Discord and on Reddit: Varka (new 5-star), plus Flins, Escoffier, Skirk, Eula, Mona, Albedo, Klee, Diluc, Jean, Bennet, Xiangling, and Sucrose across the rotations. Varka is introduced as Grand Master and Knight of the Boreas — an Anemo DPS who can adapt his element to match certain party setups and carries the Hexerei tag that pairs well with Mondstadt crews.
This morning my feed filled with “maintenance compensation” posts — Genshin Impact Luna V Maintenance End Time
Maintenance is the predictable interruption; what matters is the payoff. The break is expected to last about five hours from each region’s start time. When the servers return you’ll be auto-logged out if you were online, and Hoyoverse will send 300 Primogems to accounts Adventure Rank 5 or higher via in-game mail. Claim them within 30 days or they expire.
| Region and Time Zone | Start Time | End Time |

| Tokyo, Japan (JST) | 07:00 AM | 12:00 PM |
| California, USA (PST) | 03:00 PM on February 24 | 08:00 PM on February 24 |
| Beijing, China (CST) | 06:00 AM | 11:00 AM |
| Toronto, Canada (EDT) | 06:00 PM on February 24 | 11:00 PM on February 24 |

I overheard a streamer counting down the seconds — Genshin Impact Luna V Release Countdown
If you want a live marker, use the in-article countdown or follow Hoyoverse on X (@GenshinImpact) and the official Discord. Steam, the Hoyoverse launcher, Google Play, and the Apple App Store will show the update once maintenance ends; patch servers and regional clocks decide the exact moment.
At the coffee shop I saw three phones showing downloads — Genshin Impact Luna V Preload Guide
If you want to be ready when the servers come back, preload the patch. Expect roughly 6 GB on PC and 2 GB on Android/iOS for the pre-install. If you play on mobile, clear some space in the App Store or Google Play updates tab; on PC use the Hoyoverse launcher or Steam to claim the update early.
Varka is the headline: a 5-star Anemo DPS with a mechanic that shifts elemental alignment depending on teammates. That makes him especially attractive in Mondstadt lineups and for players who track Hexerei synergies in theorycrafting threads on Reddit and dedicated Discord servers. The banner rotation is a spinning lockbox that decides your luck, so plan your pulls.
Small, precise moves win here: check your Adventure Rank (300 Primogems won’t come without being AR 5), clear inbox space for the mail, and set a stopwatch for your local maintenance window. Do you plan to chase Varka on day one or wait for player builds and reruns to reveal whether he truly reshapes Mondstadt comps?
