Using the Genshin Impact pre-installation feature on a PC is extremely easy. First, open the game launcher and update it. Next, click on the Game Pre-Installation icon next to the Launch option and click on Confirm.

The download size on a PC is between 18 GB and 21 GB. While the launcher downloads the files, you can minimize it and do other things or play the game.

You can also check the download status by moving your cursor over the Game Pre-Installation icon. This feature is convenient for PC users since it allows them to play the game while the launcher downloads the files in the background.

Alternatively, you can also pre-load the files via in-game settings. Follow these steps:

  • Open in-game Settings and go to Resources.
  • Tap on Pre-Install Now and Confirm.

Now you can tap on the Home button and let your device download the files. Unfortunately, you cannot play the game until the download is finished. That said, the Genshin Impact 4.7 pre-load size on mobile is around 1.6 GB to 1.9 GB, which isn't much, so it won't take long to finish.

In any case, it is highly recommended to use the pre-installation feature and download some files in advance. This will significantly speed up the update process once the new version is live and allow you to enjoy the content faster.
