Genshin Impact update 3.5 PATCH NOTES, maintenance and new features

Genshin Impact update 3.5 is available to download on PS4, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android. Titled Windblume’s Breath, the new Genshin Impact update introduces new characters, weapons, story content, enemies and lots more. You can check out the new content when server maintenance comes to an end at 3am GMT UK time on March 1. Because of the length of the server maintenance, Genshin Impact players will receive 300 Primogems to spend within the game.
