It is extremely important for gamers that the programs on their device do not take too much memory and do not violate the work of the device. Genshin impact And other similar games weigh quite a lot, so some players have an acute question about reducing the volume of the application. In this article we will consider how much Genshin Impact weighs on various devices, and tell you about several ways to get rid of unnecessary resources and free memory.
We note in advance that the data given in the article is relevant at the time of the patch 5.7. With each new update, the game adds in size. In addition, the developers are constantly working on optimization and create new ways to reduce the size of the application.
How much does Genshin Impact weigh on different platforms
Android
Despite the deceptive size of the game in Google Play, where the application weighs only 318 MB, after complete installation, it will take from 20 to 33 GB .
After loading the launcher, the game offers to download all the data (32.86 GB) or only the main resources (20.53 GB).
In the second case, you can launch the game, but any tasks will not be available, and they will have to be loaded separately. When setting a new update of the task of this version, it will also be necessary to download manually. This is not too convenient, but it allows you to preserve gigabytes of memory.
to download all the resources of the new patch is necessary about 10-15 GB. After installation, most of the memory will be freed, and as a result, the update will add about 2-4 GB to the total size of the game.
Thus, before installing the game, we advise you to free about 40-50 GB in order to subsequently have enough space for new patches.
ios
To download the Genshin Impact from the App Store, you will need only 3.2 GB. SRC = “/WP-Content/Uploads/2025/07/Skolko-Vesit-Genshin-IMPACT-PK-I-TLEFONE-VERSIJA-57-4A88E1A.webp” ALT = “How much weighs Genshin Impact on PC and Phone (version (version 5.7) “/>
on devices with iOS, the game after installation takes a little less memory than on Android – about 30 GB , but the places for updates will also have to be allocated at least 10 GB.
PC
To install the game on the computer, you will need to release about 100 GB, and for further updates we advise you to save about 20 GB. For patches with new regions (X.), you will have to allocate more space, up to 40 GB. As on mobile devices, after installing the patch, its size will decrease, so in total the game at the moment weighs 99-106 GB depending on the language of voice acting.
PlayStation 4/PS5
most of the place Genshin Impact occupies on consoles.
The game weighs a little less on PS4 than on PS5, but both generations require the release of more than 120 GB memory for a comfortable installation and subsequent game.
xbox
The game is available on the consoles of Xbox Series X and S. It occupies more than 104 GB , and for further updates, it is worth highlighting about 10 GB.
how to reduce the amount of memory of Genshin Impact
Removing the tongues of voice acting
Initially, the game is installed with the English language of the voiceover. On a PC, it takes about 18 GB.
The most “heavy” language is Japanese (20.7 GB), the most “light” – Korean (15.75 GB), therefore, if you do not play a big role in what language the characters communicate in, choose Korean. When installing a new language, the old one is not deleted automatically and continues to take place. To remove one of the tongues of voice acting, in the settings, select the Language tab and in the lower right corner go to the control files, select the desired option and delete.
The method is also relevant for mobile devices (voice acting languages there take about 3-5 GB), but it will not work on consoles where all languages are preinstalled in advance and cannot be deleted.
Case cleansing
This method is available to iOS, Android and PC users. On mobile devices, you can clean the cache through the application menu, on the computer – in Hoyoplay launcher. With regular cleaning, the difference will be small, and you will be able to release no more than 100 MB, but this will save performance and not clog memory.
Removing the resources of past quests
This option is available only to users of mobile devices. In the settings, go to the “Resources” tab and select “Management of the Resources of Cast Quests”, then “Delete”.
This method allows mobile players to free more than 1 GB of memory. He removes the resources of already passed quests and does not affect further game experience. However, if you decide on the same device to start a new account, the resources for these tasks will have to be downloaded again.This method is relevant for the owners of Xbox and PS5 with subscriptions Game Pass Ultimate and PlayStation Plus Premium, respectively. The function of cloud gaming, or broadcasts, allows you to run games without downloading them and thereby save more than a hundred gigabytes of memory.
Removing all data
on mobile devices, in addition to cleaning the cache, you can delete all these applications – not only temporary, but also permanent. At the next time, most of them will have to be loaded again, so it is worth resorting to this method if you need to make room for something else, but you don’t want to delete the game.
Reinstalling the game
This is a rather radical method that should be used if previous tips did not help to free enough spaces. It is especially effective for those who have been playing for a long time, but for all the time they have not cleaned the cache and have not deleted the data. We advise users of the PC to reinstall Hoyoplay launcher for greater efficiency.
