How to pre-install Genshin Impact version 2.5 on Andoird and iOS devices

Android and iOS players can pre-install the update in two simple ways:

Another option is to tap on the 'Pre-install Resource Package' icon located in the bottom-left corner of the 'Tap to begin' screen. It is important to reiterate that this icon won't be available at the moment and will arrive on February 14, 2022.

How to pre-install Genshin Impact version 2.5 on PC

Before pre-installing the resources, players on PC will have to update their launcher. After updating the launcher, a 'Game Pre-Installation' icon will appear beside the Launch button.

Luckily, PC players can enjoy the game even during the pre-installation procedure. However, it will be unavailable for Android and iOS players.

A major concern for mobile players after every update is storage. The title gets significantly larger with a new patch as regions, characters, quests, and events are added. The developers might have to introduce some storage optimization features soon, or it would be impossible to run the game on a majority of devices.

As of now, version 2.4 is live and players can try to get their hands on Ganyu and Zhongli. With the next update, Yae Miko will arrive in the first half followed by Raiden Shogun and Kokomi in the second half.
