How to pre-install the Genshin Impact 2.7 update

Genshin Impact 2.7's pre-installation function will become available on May 27, 2022, after the daily refresh. Players will be able to begin preloading via several different methods (based on their current platform). Players should prepare for a large installation before they begin the pre-load, as these downloads are typically between two and six gigabytes.

The pre-installation mostly contains the heavier files that make up the update, smoothing out the installation process for May 31 when the update goes live.

Gamers will still need to download a decent portion of the update when it arrives, but by pre-loading, they save a lot of downtime and can get back into the game much faster.
