As with many multiplayer games, Genshin Impact's player data is stored on different servers. This is done not only for the convenience of storing profile information, but also to avoid overload and ping subsidence in the game. In this article, we will answer frequently asked questions about game servers.
What are the servers in Genshin Impact
The game servers are divided into three main regions plus the so-called SAR server (from the English "special istrative region") for special regions of China. When connecting and ing for the first time, the game will automatically offer the player the most suitable option based on the location, but you can also select the server manually.
At the moment, the breakdown of servers by country is as follows:
- Europe. This includes Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, , , Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland , Portugal , Qatar, Romania, United States of America, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, as well as the countries of the African Continent and Central Asia (Middle East).
- America. Behind this server are such countries as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Savador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, USA, Uruguay.
- Asia. Server coverage includes countries such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Oman, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam.
- SAR. Server for the Special istrative Regions of China: Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
Which server to choose and which one is better to play Genshin Impact
Choosing a game server in Genshin Impact directly affects connection stability and game ping, so the best thing focus on the geographical proximity of the country of residence to a particular server region.
For Russia it is better to choose Europe server:
- overwhelming most Russian speakers players are already playing on this server, so it will be easier for you to find allies for multiplayer;
- on the European server no ban on the use of Cyrillic characters in the player's name;
- Timezone The European server coincides with the time in most Russian cities (with the exception of the Far East, where the Asian server time will be closer), which will ensure timely opening of access to new events and game updates.
What is server time in Genshin Impact
Daily quests, elite bosses, assortment shops and many more are reset in the game every day at 4:00 am. However, due to the difference in time zones between regions of the world, this does not happen at the same time, and by the time of the selected server. At the moment, the difference in time zones is as follows:
- For America: GMT-5
- For Europe: GMT+1
- For Asia and SAR: GMT+8
Server Updates in Genshin Impact
Reset times for all servers are based in Asia, where the developer office is located. This means that players from this region are the first to get access to game updates.
How to change server in Genshin Impact
In order to change the server, or the region, after selection, it is enough to exit the game and select a new server in the boot menu, but there is one caveat. In many multiplayer games, the function of transferring not only your profile, but also the characters associated with it to another region has been implemented. However, in Genshin Impact, change the server like this not work: for example, if a player wants to "move" from a European server to an Asian one, their game data will not be transferred - history will have to start from scratch.
Is it possible to play on different servers in Genshin Impact
The player can play Genshin Impact on different servers, however their progress will be counted for each server separately. That is, if a hero has an Adventure level rank of 28 on a European server, and only 9 on an Asian server, then this progress is not cumulative.
The same goes for the number of four-star and five-star characters unlocked: for example, if a player has Dilyuk on a European server, but not on an Asian one, then play for him from an Asian server not work.
Is it possible to play with a friend on different servers: multiplayer
In Genshin Impact not provided cross-server play - that is, you will not be able to play with your friend if his characters are listed on a server that is different from yours.

Private server in Genshin Impact
There is no concept of a “private server” in Genshin Impact, since in the access settings the player himself chooses who to visit his world. The maximum number of players in the co-op is 4, including the owner of the world. You can also configure access so that even players who are not on your friends list can send a connection request.
Discord server in Genshin Impact
The developers of Genshin Impact have an official Discord server that they invite all players to . At the moment there are only two Discord servers for the game, but the first one is no longer accepted, as it is full.
To the game's Discord server, you need to follow this link:

I live on Moscow time. I play on Europe, but most often I only have time to play at night from 22 pm to 3 am. But at this time my ping is 999, it is unrealistic even to just run around the world. What is the reason for this? Maybe I should change the server? Which one would you recommend for my schedule?
There is also an in Asia, and at this time everything is fine with the ping there. But I haven't played there at other times. And it won't be possible to transfer the from Europe to it?
Is there anyone in America who can play? 55rp, just to have fun, maybe I can help somehow
I play. I have rank 14...
Please tell me, is there any point in playing in Asia, if I moved from the Far East to Europe, and all my friends stayed there. Is it possible to play like that, or will the ping be high?
Here, no one will tell you - try to play, look at the ping, a lot depends on the quality of the Internet. Of course, the ping will be higher than you had before, but perhaps this will not be a noticeable obstacle for the game.
Guys, maybe someone has come across this, I’ve been thinking, but I can’t find a clear answer, so I’ll describe the idea here:
How are things going for players from the European server in China itself? I mean, in principle, will it be possible to play on your own old server if you change your place of residence/stay? or will it be a severe ping, a ban, or some other disaster? thank you in advance for your response! <3
essentially only ping, you can play on the American server from Europe. I don't think your location will affect anything else)
Top game I recommend playing
And how to delete data from one server, but to save the data of other servers? For example: I want to delete data from America but I want to keep data in Europe
TW, HK, MO - what is this server?
Eh f**kin' fly there's an hour left, I still haven't knocked out ya miko with 70 spins(((((
That is, if I change the server, I will have a clean new ?
Hello. That's right, progress on another server will be from scratch, except that the will remain the same - one for all servers)
When I started playing, I did not know and did not understand about all sorts of servers. The game immediately wrote that the optimal server was selected and there was no need to worry. I did not take a steam bath and calmly played and swung, up to level 45. Then I “accidentally” found out that I play on the TW, HK, MO server .... That's how I've been playing since then. Is there anyone to swear?)
58 rp, if you still need help, I'll throw off the ID
As a player from Belarus, I am very indignant that we are not on the European lists

I'm very interested, is it possible to transfer an to another server while saving either a donation in the form of primogems, or characters through technical , or maybe there are other options?

No, this feature is not available in the game.
