What is the exact unlock time of Genshin Impact?

If you are very eager to get stuck into your adventures in Genshin Impact and explore Teyvat, then you don’t have long to wait. The game will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, Android, and iOS on September 28 in Japan. This is good news for folks in America, as it means you will actually get to play the game on September 27 thanks to a global release.

Genshin Impact will launch at 19:00 PT and 22:00 ET in America and should go live on all platforms at that time. Being an MMO, and a pretty hyped up one, we strongly expect there to be plenty of server issues on launch day. If you want to get ahead of the pack, you can preload the game to make sure you are as prepared as possible on launch day.
