The mobile preload for the update is fairly large, coming in at 2.03GB on iOS. Android users will have to free up at least 2.92 GB worth of space to download the Genshin Impact 3.5 preload. Once the update is launched, players will have to visit their respective storefronts (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) to complete the update.
