Version 5.7 of Genshin Impact is set to release on June 18, 2025, introducing characters such as Skirk and Dahlia to the list of playable units in the game. You can download the essential files for the update ahead of its release, allowing you to only install them before directly jumping back into the world of Teyvat.

Here is the file size for the update across various platforms:

• PC: 4.94 GB
• Mobile (iOS and Android): 0.8 to 0.9 GB
• PlayStation: 0.8 to 0.9 GB

Keep in mind that preloading the update will only download the files and won't install it. After HoYoverse deploys the patch by finishing server maintenance, your device will automatically install the files when you launch the game.
