Genshin Impact has become one of the most popular gacha titles of all time, and thanks to its ever-expanding character roster, stunning open world, and consistent content updates, fans always have something fun to do in the game.
If you’re a newcomer interested in diving into the anime-inspired game however, you’ll want to know how much space is needed on your platform of choice before you can begin your journey through Teyvat, and we’ve got you covered right here.
You’ll need to make sure you have enough storage space for Genshin Impact before you can play.
How much storage does Genshin Impact take up on mobile, PC, and console?
The amount of storage you’ll need for Genshin Impact will depend on the platform you’re using, as the PC and PlayStation versions take up significantly more space than the mobile one. We’ve provided a full rundown of how much space you’ll need for the game on each platform below:
- Mobile: 20.58 GB
- PC: 72.5 GB
- Console (PlayStation): 70.65
As you can see from the numbers above, Genshin Impact is a large game! On mobile, especially the game has a massive install size but that’s unsurprising considering just how vast the game is with its huge open world and multiple regions players can explore in full.
How to free up storage for Genshin Impact on mobile, PC, and console
If you’re looking to jump into the game and want to try and shrink the download size slightly, (after all, everyone needs a decent amount of free space on their phone, PC, and console) one thing we would suggest is removing additional audio packs from the game.
There are a lot of audio packs that come automatically installed with Genshin Impact, and unless you’re planning to play in multiple languages, it’s unlikely you’ll need to keep them all. You can remove these by following the steps below:
- Install Genshin Impact on your platform of choice
- Launch the game and open the ‘Paimon Menu‘
- Navigate to ‘Settings‘ then ‘Language‘
- Click on ‘Manage your Voice-Over Language‘
- A menu will appear with all the languages available in the game
- Simply uninstall the packs you don’t need!
Once you’ve done this, you should have reduced the game’s storage space by a significant amount considering every audio pack takes up approximately 8 GB of space.
