Remember to use the pre-installation function

As is generally the case, HoYoverse officials enabled the pre-installation function when they released all the official announcements about the upcoming content. This useful function will be available for PC and mobile platforms. Genshin Impact players can use this function to download large files of new updates in advance to have an easier time when the actual update rolls out.

The function should be usable even after the server maintenance has begun. The download size will vary for players depending on whether they have multiple voice-over packs installed in their accounts.
