Once the update releases, iOS users will have to go into the App Store and tap the update button. Keep in mind, this only downloads the files.

Tap the “Pre-Install Resource Package” icon at the lower left corner of the login menu.

Go to Paimon Menu > Settings > Other > Pre-Install Resource Package.

There are two options you can take to pre-install: On iOS and Android, you won’t be able to play the game while pre-installing the update files. If for some reason, the launcher closes before pre-installation is complete, you’ll have the option to continue downloading from when progress ended the next time you boot up the launcher. When the update is finally released on February 3, the launcher will give you the option to “Update,” and will install the files without having to download them.

You’ll still be able to play the game while downloading the pre-load files, but that will depend on your internet, of course. All you have to do is click the “Game Pre-Installation” to download the new game resources. You’ll then see a “Game Pre-Installation” button to the left of the “Launch” button.

On PC, you’ll want to first boot up the Genshin Impact Launcher. The game’s preinstallation function will only be available for mobile and PC beginning Monday, February 1 (6 AM ET, 9 AM PT, and 12 PM BT). Genshin Impact Update 1.3 is set to arrive on February 3, but developer Mihoyo is giving those with slower internet a chance to start downloading and installing the next major update early.
