Updating or pre-installing Genshin Impact on PC is a relatively simple process. The steps for the same are as follows:

  1. Open the game’s launcher window.
  2. Locate a small yellow circular button with a cloud icon positioned to the left of the text that reads “Game Pre-Installation Get Now,” which is located next to the Launch button.
  3. Click on that button and check if the computer has enough storage space for the new update.
  4. If enough storage space is available, the download will begin. Otherwise, players will need to remove some unnecessary files from the PC.

Version 3.7 update is available for pre-installation right now. The same will help estimate the size of the update.

On PC, the Pre-Install Resource Package has a size of 8.82 GB, and unzipping it will require a minimum of 18.12 GB of available disk space. This is a substantial space requirement, thus it is crucial to verify that your device has sufficient disk space to avoid any potential slowdowns or issues.

The size of the version package for Genshin Impact on mobile is approximately 3.59 GB. However, it is advisable to have additional storage space available to accommodate the update. This will ensure that you have enough room for the installation process and any additional files that may be downloaded during the update.

Players can still access the new version content by updating the game and downloading resources after the official launch. However, opting for pre-installation of the Genshin Impact 3.7 update, whether in its entirety or partially, can significantly save time. The update will be made available following the maintenance period, enabling players to enjoy the new content once it becomes accessible.
