The Genshin Impact version 3.5 update will be released on March 1 and can now be pre-installed on PC and mobile devices. Console preloads tend to be a bit closer to release, and that’s also the case here. Pre-installing the anime game will occupy about 6.57 GB on PC and 2.92 GB on mobile. As usual, sizes may vary, but you’ll want to pre-install it so the download process goes more smoothly when it finally goes live.
It is relatively easy to start the pre-installation process on PC as you just need to open the game launcher. Next, select the game pre-installation option from the pop-up window; It is located to the left of the game start indicator.
Genshin Impact version 3.5 brings a new Archon Quest involving Dainsleif and the Abyss, this year’s Windblume Festival, and character banners Dehya and Cyno in the first half of the update.
While Dehya is generally a popular character in the community, they might not be the most desirable banners thanks to their odd stat scale and low tank role. That being said, a new release is usually busy, regardless of the first banners; It’s never a bad idea to save time by preloading when you can.
Whether you plan to support Dehya or not, you’ll have the chance to test her during the regular character tests, as well as her new story quest. And if you take this time to save Primogems, you can attract Ayaka, Shenhe, and newcomer Mika in the second half of the v3.5 update.
For more information on how to pre-install the update on mobile devices and consoles, you can refer to the official HoYoverse post on HoYoLAB.
Genshin Impact version 3.4 is in its final hours, so those of you who still want to wish for the power couple of Hu Tao and Yelan are running out of time.
