To download the Genshin Impact 5.1 resources on PC, follow these steps:

  • Open the HoYoPlay launcher and go to the Genshin Impact section.
  • Click on the Pre-Install option next to the Start Game icon.
  • Confirm the download.

The pre-load size for PC is between 12 GB and 16 GB. However, a minimum space of 22 GB is required to unzip the files, so make sure you have enough space to begin downloading. Once the download has started, you can check the status by moving the cursor on the percentage next to the Start Game option.

It is worth adding that the PC launcher allows you to play even while pre-installing the files so you can start the pre-load before logging into the game and letting the download complete.
