Genshin Impact has a new update just around the corner, which is Version 3.4. In this guide, we will take you through the process of how to pre-install the Genshin Impact 3.4 update before release.
Genshin Impact 3.4 Update: Pre-Install Before It Goes Live
The preinstallation function was added to the game in May 2022, and players are now able to begin pre-installing update resources before the update drops. This will apply for any new updates in the game, and is great for players who want to be ready to play as soon as the update goes live.

Previously, you would have to wait for the game to be updated to download the update, which involves a lot of waiting time as the file sizes were large. Now, you will be able to pre-download and pre-install the new update before it releases, so that you can start playing immediately on your phone or PC.
Here are the steps you will need to follow if you are playing on PC:
- Open the Genshin Impact Launcher.
- You will get the option to update the launcher itself. Click on Confirm to begin the update.
- Once the Launcher has been updated, you will be able to see a new button on the left side of the Launch button. This is the Pre-Installation button, and you will be able to download the new update ahead of its release by clicking on it.
- The download will begin, and you can still play the game.
To download and pre-install the game on mobile, you will need to use either the settings or the option in the log-in screen. For the first option, scroll down to Other and select Pre-Install Resource Package to download the update. Alternatively, you can click the Pre-Install Resource Package button in the left corner of the login screen. Note that you will not be able to play the game on mobile while it downloads.
And that’s all you need to do. Once Genshin Impact 3.4 goes live, you can start playing immediately.
