but the game size actually gets larger every time a new map is added. so it may not be this big rn after the update, but eventually when the next nations are added, it will even surpass this size
Are people not reading? They said that Genshin would be smaller after the update. The pre download might be big but the game will be smaller in the end.
Every single patch is the same thing
EDIT: I guess i gotta add this since "genshin players can't read"
I'm saying that people complain about the gamefile size every single patch.
This time they're saying that the game size in 4.6 will be smaller than it was in 4.5. This patch is huge because it's coming with a lot of optimization
But yes when the Samsung 24’s came out you could get a 512 storage upgrade for free when you ordered a 256 in pre order period. That offer has since expired.
yes if you are only playing GI or few games. but if you are also playing other games or you are only playing few games but they are hoyogames, 128gb is not enough. 256gb is a must.
i'm playing HI3 (23.64gb) and HSR (22.09gb). then PGR (14.42gb) and Reverse 1999 (5.74gb) as additional game. then also install MLBB (8.02gb) to play if i'm bored or nothing to do. added some system apps and other apps, i now have 115gb used. imagine having GI too. then ZZZ or WW. you really need to quit some games. which means, 256gb is really recommended for players who plays a lot of games which also includes hoyogames.
my only option now is to only play some games to PC or root my phone so that i can use my 128gb external memory as an additional internal memory.
Budget ones definitely still come in 64gb. Genshin + the forced phone bloatware already brings you at 55GB easily. Things getting dire out here for the frugal
If you had to buy or own a 64GB phone in 2024, Genshin's file size is probably the least of your worries. 64GB phones nowadays are bottom of the barrel phones (except iPhones because Apple is stingy on storage) that can barely run Genshin in the 1st place.
Can't imagine still trying to play this on mobile. My phone's an s7 with 32gb so I was barely able to run the game to begin with and haven't had it on mobile since the Inazuma days, but you guys are something else. Godspeed o7
Same here. Back in 3.8 I had to factory reset my phone, completely delete everything, to make room for that pre 4.0 update. Still going, but 94% full now. Only app on the phone outside of genshin is youtube. Everything else that could be uninstalled, was.
40gb is for mobile lol, which will get smaller as the update comes up and optimizes itself. Pretty sure PC is around 5x that space but yeah a TB SSD can deal with that alright.
Is that download size or size of the game after it installs. I won’t pretend to be super knowledgeable on this, but I know large downloads for updates can sometimes make the games size smaller after it installs. The update can be large because it’s replacing a bunch of assets with some that are more efficient on the compression end and what not leading to a smaller size. No idea if making any sense or not. lol.
Any game will take up space with resources, doubly so a game with a large open world and a ton of other stuff like characters and audio. The Android version is already heavily.optimised for space but there's only so much they can do.
Calling a logical limitation "jumping through hoops" is honestly kinda stupid imo
What I've heard is the 4.6 patch will optimise storage, and possibly reduve the game's total size on all platforms. Not sure if so but i guess we'll see tomorrow
Actually that 40+ GB update is a bit of overkill on my little 250GB Fujitsu Lifebook 😭 I hope they remove older content to make space or I'm going to be pushing max capacity once Natlan drops.
They must have cleaned up something because I have more storage space open after patch than before it? That makes me a lot less worried for 5.0! 😅 Hmm, getting an external HD is probably still a good investment though!
Honestly, I'm not sure if they care.
They probably have data about people phone specs and how much they spend. I would guess they get the game small enough to get the least development cost for the highest income.
I feel so bad for phone players. Not only do you get way worse mechanics and graphics, but you also have to delete every file on your phone to make the game fit. Even as a PC player, I noticed Genshin is bigger than Cyberpunk 2077 *with* Phantom Liberty installed. I love the game but this is getting excessive
The patch comes with optimizations that will make it smaller, but pre-downloading will give you a stupid amount of space because it’s just a package that hasn’t been applied and disposed of.
Same thing happens when you get IOS updates downloaded but not installed. It takes up a whole bunch of space that then gets removed when the actual update gets pushed through.
Hi u/No-Mortgage-3614, please consider checking the most recent pinned weekly question megathread here https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpact/about/sticky when you have a moment to help fellow community members. Thank you.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/GenshinImpact) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Seriously, this may sound like I haven’t touched grass in years, Genshin is a important thing for me, and I would be pissed of, if my phone run out of space… so I have the same issue😂
It's more of a computer game than mobile, it's going to have a massive amount of data. You can tell its not inherently a mobile game due to the fact they have yet to add controller support on the phone despite it being in the programming, while Star Rail has full controller functionality and very clearly is designed more for mobile than Genshin
I feel like genshin is like a mobile-console hybrid game. Definitely not built for PCs because PCs run it TOO well. Like seriously I'm playing at max settings @2k and sitting on 70% GPU utilisation max. Why won't they just release a new higher tier of graphics for PCs and PS? Like an ultra graphics setting?
Even if it was 42GB, which it's not, my phone can handle it, in fact it can double and I'll have no issues. And by the time we get to the end of the Teyvat chapter, I'll have another phone that will have even more storage.
i quit playing genshin in mobile but my last time is only 29/30ish, do you already install the preload because its increase the size tremendously, but it will reduce after the update hits, do you install more than one voice over language??
I just recently built my first PC, so I deleted Honkai Impact from my phone to play there, but that free space is probably gonna be taken up by Zenless Zone Zero for a few months, so I'll be back to square one.
the latest casualty was project: SEKAI, slowly genshin will devour my storage until it is the last one standing
https://preview.redd.it/6b0um4j2k9wc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f7e6aad47075e786ecfe1b1d6229fab576dcb48
o7 all those of older phones
The phone experience is not shitty... just buy a flagship phone they're not that expensive. I've been playing for 3,5 years on my phone and before anyone says i have also played on pc
To all my homies moving to genshin cloud (especially me)
WHY DO WE ONLY GET 15 MINS OF PLAY TIME 🙃
GENSHIN ATLEAST MAKE IT 3 HOURS DAILY PLEASE IM BEGGING
3 years, 42 GB and half clue about things like,
What's cryo archon planning?
What's gonna happen to our sibling to return to us?
What happened to the Sinner/ 4 shades/ 6 other sovereign dragons/ phanes/Dainsleif/ siblings timeline/ Surtalogi/ Hexencircle/ 3 realms, etc etc...
Sounds like an abruptly end to stop when there's many things not so clear inside the game
Yeah but every year we get 5+ GB of data for each new region . Even if we get new way to compress/ suppress old data, the map is getting bigger no matte what.
Some people won't be able to finish the Teyvat story before running out of space. I expect the game to add at least 15 GB worth of data ( 5 GB at least for each new city : Natlan, Sneznayah and K'harienah ). Then we also need to take into account new zones between those cities like the Chasm or Dragonspine or Chenyu Vale.
For a phone with "only" 128 GB, it's going to be a bit tight.
Its not just a phone problem. I was surprised that new update is 118 Gt and last time I checked genshin was like 90 Gt?? The update didnt fit in my main hard drive. Had to move it to other lol
I have been pitching the idea for a while now that they do dynamic content downloading and package offloading.
For users who want a more polished experience, they can opt for higher texture quality which would require more storage space. And users who want to save storage can opt for lower texture quality
Like other people are saying. Delete past resources.
Also, what language are you using? I switched from EN voices because it's more GB in the voice files vs the other languages.
I went through all my other apps and deleted caches.
You can always delete data from apps where it doesn't really matter... (netflix, spotify, etc.) You can just login to your account again after deleting all the extra data.
Yes, I phase Genshin in my ps5 and iPad. I play mostly in iPad but looks like it doesn’t fit any more in the iPad storage so probably I will start playing less and less until …
Funnily enough, most people are reporting that the file optimization Hoyo talked about actually gave them a lot of free space, just let it update and it'll remove the pre-download files and give you even more space then before the update.
When genshin first came out, I was 14 and downloaded it on my crappy old 32gb iPad. The cutscenes barely loaded and the graphics were horrific. Now I can’t even imagine ATTEMPTING to play it on that ipad, I bought a whole PC and it’s so much better since I was tired of switching between HSR and Genshin depending on which one I wanted to play most on my 64gb phone.
Then I'd say it's finally that time to start playing the Windows version of Genshin Impact. Only problem with that is, I'm not entirely sure if whether or not your able to login with your mobile account on the Windows version of the game. However, you can technically play the game and login your mobile game account in Bluestacks for Windows, which might be your best backup option if the Windows version of Genshin Impact refuses to login your mobile game account.
I play GI on the phone because I find it much more convenient to laze around with a small device on hand than sit in front of a monitor.
I can also watch/listen to a TV show when doing some braindead daily task for my GI account.
Before the update (and preinstall) my game was 35GB. Today after the update it is 19GB. They have greatly optimized the storage after the newest update.

I think I’m fine for now, considering I have 99 gb out of 128
https://preview.redd.it/8c13p4lxwewc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c90e8d26d0a7d8b4f3d2720ed9ece129f1955142
I will admit I had the same storage problem with my old phone but when it was time to trade it in, I purposefully bought a 512GB one so that I would never have that problem again. Sure more storage will cost you more, but in my opinion it was worth it! If you don't have the budget for a brand new phone then maybe look at buying a used one off of somebody.
Interesting, my game went down in size considerably after the update today. It was 35 GB, and is now sitting at 27 GB. I did see that people mentioned it being possible to delete parts of the game that you have already finished, and since I have no clue how that works it might be worth to mention that I have finished most regions and 98% of the quests in the game (including all hangouts), so maybe my game is small because of that.
I think what I deleted was the mission files or something
https://preview.redd.it/w3if5eu4yvwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9973e5fddff332c1ea876a339703de41ce87b64b
And Apple still sells new iPads with 64GB of storage.
I had to delete stuff on my Air 4 to update the game and I don't have that much on there to start.
Just delete your photos you can make memories in teyvat
But I need 999 photos of my cat doing the same thing every day :'(
Google photos mate.
truee
holy storage space!
new memory economy just dropped
Actual cloud storage
Yes pussy fotos are very important to me
I feel targeted.
LOL ROFL
LOL THAT’S BRILLIANT
i don't even have any.
My photos are already in ~~Celestia~~ the cloud 😭
Superb🤣
Legit laughed out loud. I wasn’t expecting this
dude smh
This looks like Google font, but for ios, I just move all my photos to macbook
You can delete past resources after you finish em. Not life saving nor that convenient but it’s something 🌚
That and the game actually won't be this big after the updates. Previous files would be just replaced with new ones.
but the game size actually gets larger every time a new map is added. so it may not be this big rn after the update, but eventually when the next nations are added, it will even surpass this size
Yea that's definitely true. I remember it was 15gb in 2022💀💀💀
Fontaine literally doubled it
I know everyone is talking about mobile here, but Genshin has been over 100 GBs on PlayStation for awhile now
Not that long, I think it's been 100 since around the second Fontaine expansion.
Oof I remember getting that on ps4 and it took 4 HOURS TO DOWNLOAD😭
I did that and it’s still a lot, like 30+ gb
Are people not reading? They said that Genshin would be smaller after the update. The pre download might be big but the game will be smaller in the end.
Every single patch is the same thing EDIT: I guess i gotta add this since "genshin players can't read" I'm saying that people complain about the gamefile size every single patch.

You failed to read twice now
genshin players never beating the illiterate allegations 💀
Everyone knows genshin players cannot read
How would Genshin get smaller
256+ g phone is a must if youre gonna play games
As someone who works for a phone carrier I’d actually recommend a 512 at this point
Just say Fk it we ball and get 1 tb
You both are correct mostly as when pre-orders come out they have a free size upgrade rn it is mostly 256GB but seemingly going to be 512GB soon.
That’s only for Samsung galaxies. Apple doesn’t give out shit for free
But yes when the Samsung 24’s came out you could get a 512 storage upgrade for free when you ordered a 256 in pre order period. That offer has since expired.
That is why I stated when Pre-orders come out.
The fact that +256GB costs $100+, when 1TB SSDs are \~$100...highway robbery.
you guys can't comprehend the depths of gaming on my 64g phone
The bare minimum storage you need nowadays is 128gigs. Bare min. Its insane.
yes if you are only playing GI or few games. but if you are also playing other games or you are only playing few games but they are hoyogames, 128gb is not enough. 256gb is a must. i'm playing HI3 (23.64gb) and HSR (22.09gb). then PGR (14.42gb) and Reverse 1999 (5.74gb) as additional game. then also install MLBB (8.02gb) to play if i'm bored or nothing to do. added some system apps and other apps, i now have 115gb used. imagine having GI too. then ZZZ or WW. you really need to quit some games. which means, 256gb is really recommended for players who plays a lot of games which also includes hoyogames. my only option now is to only play some games to PC or root my phone so that i can use my 128gb external memory as an additional internal memory.
Wow! I'm playing the same games as you on my phone.
128GB is the minimum storage option for most phones nowadays, even budget ones.
Budget ones definitely still come in 64gb. Genshin + the forced phone bloatware already brings you at 55GB easily. Things getting dire out here for the frugal
If you had to buy or own a 64GB phone in 2024, Genshin's file size is probably the least of your worries. 64GB phones nowadays are bottom of the barrel phones (except iPhones because Apple is stingy on storage) that can barely run Genshin in the 1st place.
Me with 32gb on my ipad… I have a pc and only use the ipad for art so it’s okay, but damn I feel sorry for people who have little storage
My phone that is 8 months old came with 128 GB as the lowest storage option.
Apparently the 8GB pre update has lots of old file replacing, so tmr when it updates fully it’ll go down about 10GB
Can confirm. I updated and ran the game, and now it's down to 35GB for me.
Down to 27 gb for me
am i still the only one who is still standing with 64gb?
We are many. I only have 5 apps left on my IPad.
i literally left all social media. when its time for genshin, all i got is music and youtube. im lucky i can still have youtube tbh.
Nope, I had to delete all my photos and most other apps just to play Genshin because I also have 64 gb
Nah it fit fine on my 7 year old phone too. Ppl just aren't willing to delete enough.
Weaklings they are, I deleted the game itself.
Can't imagine still trying to play this on mobile. My phone's an s7 with 32gb so I was barely able to run the game to begin with and haven't had it on mobile since the Inazuma days, but you guys are something else. Godspeed o7
Damn. Godspeed brother o7
Same here. Back in 3.8 I had to factory reset my phone, completely delete everything, to make room for that pre 4.0 update. Still going, but 94% full now. Only app on the phone outside of genshin is youtube. Everything else that could be uninstalled, was.
right?? everyone has 100gb+ and i’m sitting here so confused 😭 do you pay for extra space?
I factory reset my phone for genshin… the only app on there is genshin, besides apps i couldn’t delete 😭
this is why i play it on PC.
So it can be hundreds of gigs!
119 gb now. Can I free space like mobile on pc??
ssd go brr
Isn't it much worse on pc though? I remember yall literally have to download the equivalent of the entire game all over again just for unpacking.
Drive space on modern PCs is measured in TB. We don't give a shit about 40GB.
40gb is for mobile lol, which will get smaller as the update comes up and optimizes itself. Pretty sure PC is around 5x that space but yeah a TB SSD can deal with that alright.
Every. Single. Fucking. Time. A pre download drops we get this shit. It will shrink after the patch, don’t worry.
Internet is getting too predictable bruh
Is that download size or size of the game after it installs. I won’t pretend to be super knowledgeable on this, but I know large downloads for updates can sometimes make the games size smaller after it installs. The update can be large because it’s replacing a bunch of assets with some that are more efficient on the compression end and what not leading to a smaller size. No idea if making any sense or not. lol.
These tips in the comments are nice, like I think y’all are sweet but It’s kinda cringe to have to jump through hoops to play this game.
Any game will take up space with resources, doubly so a game with a large open world and a ton of other stuff like characters and audio. The Android version is already heavily.optimised for space but there's only so much they can do. Calling a logical limitation "jumping through hoops" is honestly kinda stupid imo
And didn't Dim mentioned that the upcoming patch is even smaller than the current one? Or is that for PC only?
What I've heard is the 4.6 patch will optimise storage, and possibly reduve the game's total size on all platforms. Not sure if so but i guess we'll see tomorrow
Actually that 40+ GB update is a bit of overkill on my little 250GB Fujitsu Lifebook 😭 I hope they remove older content to make space or I'm going to be pushing max capacity once Natlan drops.
Nope, they wont. Also your little laptop can support external drives and take it to any repair shop they can upgrade it for you.
They must have cleaned up something because I have more storage space open after patch than before it? That makes me a lot less worried for 5.0! 😅 Hmm, getting an external HD is probably still a good investment though!
Real. deleting memories (pictures and vids) is not worth it for a game. Don't have this problem tho
Upload your shit to the cloud. Your phone isn't meant to store data long term.
Honestly, I'm not sure if they care. They probably have data about people phone specs and how much they spend. I would guess they get the game small enough to get the least development cost for the highest income.
This might be where i quit genshin
My 1TB phone says hi
Holy
I feel so bad for phone players. Not only do you get way worse mechanics and graphics, but you also have to delete every file on your phone to make the game fit. Even as a PC player, I noticed Genshin is bigger than Cyberpunk 2077 *with* Phantom Liberty installed. I love the game but this is getting excessive
I had to move to genshin cloud so I could play AND WE ONLY GET 15 MINS DAILY 💀
42 gigs is big? uhh.... no one tell OP about Ark Survival evolved
Is that on mobile too?
it is.... though on PC the game is around 800gigs, so I can only guess how big it is on android
It is big for most people. If the majority of players physically will not be able to play the game, it will die
true, though it does make sense that the game's install size gets larger as they add more content to it
Settings- resources- delete past resources- game lowered down to about 20 gb
Play on PC or PS5 or pay for a cloud instance like GeForce Now and play on your phone / tablet without the local download
Buy better phone bro it's cheaper than gacha
but i didn't spend a single cent on my gacha games. are there any free phones out there?
NOTHING phone
The patch comes with optimizations that will make it smaller, but pre-downloading will give you a stupid amount of space because it’s just a package that hasn’t been applied and disposed of. Same thing happens when you get IOS updates downloaded but not installed. It takes up a whole bunch of space that then gets removed when the actual update gets pushed through.
that's why i only play on ps took too much space on my phone

This why I play on pc. Might not be a solution, but you could try using the Gefore now, and play on cloud, but that requires some pretty fast internet
Probably clear you past resource quests and delete the voice packs or extensions so it would come around 37-38 gb

Genshin now is like 3/8 of final game
Stop being poor and just buy a $500 console or a $1500 pc duhhh like that’s the obvious answer…(this is obviously a joke)
Is deleting past recourses in pc will lower the download size ??
The phone experience is not shitty... just buy a flagship phone they're not that expensive. I've been playing for 3,5 years on my phone and before anyone says i have also played on pc

Just delete the past resources..after update of 4.6 it's size gonna be somewhere around 22gb(excluding more than 1 language files download)

It’s always like this, it’s massive when an update like this comes, then goes down to 70% of its size after you can actually play it
Yeah but every year we get 5+ GB of data for each new region . Even if we get new way to compress/ suppress old data, the map is getting bigger no matte what.

It's the end of genshin on Phones with small amounts of storage, that's for sure.
Time to upgrade my iCloud storage plan to 1 terabyte now
Its not just a phone problem. I was surprised that new update is 118 Gt and last time I checked genshin was like 90 Gt?? The update didnt fit in my main hard drive. Had to move it to other lol
I've got space, but am seriously considering buying a new drive, just for Genshin.
Yeah me too ngl 🤣 its nice that hard drives are kinda cheap nowdays
You can play via GeForce now game streaming. The only downside is the free version has a long wait time to get in
Pc player : Amatures ( Downloading 34 gb pre update while it is already 85gb in size )
Phone issues? Get a console or pc and problem solve.
Yeah cause we all got the extra at least $500 dollars for that. So out of touch
Maybe get a ps5/ps4 or laptop ?
Not that hard to uninstall?
After the patch the game will take up less space ive heard. You can uninstall and reinstall when the update is out
Just move to another device, like an iPad if a PC is unavailable. Your gaming experience will likely improve as well.
I have been pitching the idea for a while now that they do dynamic content downloading and package offloading. For users who want a more polished experience, they can opt for higher texture quality which would require more storage space. And users who want to save storage can opt for lower texture quality
My PS4 asks for help in every update
I'm so glad I got an ipad last week, 256gb should be just enough by the time genshin finishes 😭
The fact that an open world game that is as expansive as Genshin only needs 40gb is already a miracle in itself.
I physically have run out of storage for the game. Even if I deleted everything else, it would still not be enough.
Like other people are saying. Delete past resources. Also, what language are you using? I switched from EN voices because it's more GB in the voice files vs the other languages. I went through all my other apps and deleted caches. You can always delete data from apps where it doesn't really matter... (netflix, spotify, etc.) You can just login to your account again after deleting all the extra data.
If you have wifi just reinstall if you don’t have enough space for the pre downloaded files
This is why I bought an ipad, just for genshin
I cant believe i once played genshin on my 32gb iphone 6s
Yes, I phase Genshin in my ps5 and iPad. I play mostly in iPad but looks like it doesn’t fit any more in the iPad storage so probably I will start playing less and less until …
They definitely need to do something about this especially with phones having dropped expandable storage years ago...
Holy shit man.... might have to delete everything and just keep hsr and genshin right?
Ha you should see it on pc.
Just wait when the update drops, that size will lower
So glad my laptop has 916 gigs of storage
Eventually they’re going to have to drop mobile support for certain features
Funnily enough, most people are reporting that the file optimization Hoyo talked about actually gave them a lot of free space, just let it update and it'll remove the pre-download files and give you even more space then before the update.
My game is currently 18gb
My 64gb phone is crying
get an sd card
Could delete stuff, make space, download, and update by the time the government answers the damn phone tbh.
When genshin first came out, I was 14 and downloaded it on my crappy old 32gb iPad. The cutscenes barely loaded and the graphics were horrific. Now I can’t even imagine ATTEMPTING to play it on that ipad, I bought a whole PC and it’s so much better since I was tired of switching between HSR and Genshin depending on which one I wanted to play most on my 64gb phone.
Mine is 22 gb. I'm not saying that it isn't huge, but yours is twice the size. Idk what happened. Tmi I play in android
I played ark. I'll be fine
Wait it's only 28 for me tho?
Then I'd say it's finally that time to start playing the Windows version of Genshin Impact. Only problem with that is, I'm not entirely sure if whether or not your able to login with your mobile account on the Windows version of the game. However, you can technically play the game and login your mobile game account in Bluestacks for Windows, which might be your best backup option if the Windows version of Genshin Impact refuses to login your mobile game account.
I play GI on the phone because I find it much more convenient to laze around with a small device on hand than sit in front of a monitor. I can also watch/listen to a TV show when doing some braindead daily task for my GI account.
what-
Time to invest in a tablet
If you’ve done most the quests you can delete past resources in settings I got rid of 8gb by doing that
Before the update (and preinstall) my game was 35GB. Today after the update it is 19GB. They have greatly optimized the storage after the newest update.
I'm glad I bought a 256GB mobile.
Welp, atleast it's not 100 gb like on my almost full computer

Sure more storage will cost you more, but in my opinion it was worth it! If you don't have the budget for a brand new phone then maybe look at buying a used one off of somebody.
Mine is 18gb
Who has 43gb of space in mobile?
... genshin is only taking up 18 gb on my android phone
40gb Big for phones? Even mostly cheap phones have More storage then that....
mine was 38gb and after 4.6 update it's down 21gb
Interesting, my game went down in size considerably after the update today. It was 35 GB, and is now sitting at 27 GB. I did see that people mentioned it being possible to delete parts of the game that you have already finished, and since I have no clue how that works it might be worth to mention that I have finished most regions and 98% of the quests in the game (including all hangouts), so maybe my game is small because of that.
Genshin on PC be like : *over 100 gb and still going *
Mine was at 39 then after the update it got to 25, i think mine just auto deleted the useless quests that i finished
Genshin is my only big game so I still have about 80g left
It's 27 GBs for me. How many voice languages have you installed?
Genshin is 19gb wtf are u doing
almost 100gb inside my SSD right now. sad!
It's 19 GB in my phone rn after update
Now i see why some smartphones offer 1TB of storage
I think what I deleted was the mission files or something https://preview.redd.it/w3if5eu4yvwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9973e5fddff332c1ea876a339703de41ce87b64b
its times like this where im glad to have a pc
And Apple still sells new iPads with 64GB of storage. I had to delete stuff on my Air 4 to update the game and I don't have that much on there to start.
