In a few days, Genshin Impact 4.6 will be released, and gamers may now pre-download it on HoYoverse. The X (Twitter) account of Genshin Impact has disclosed the pre-download size and the scheduled maintenance time for the latest update. But the pre-download size surprised a lot of players. The size of the latest update warrants downloading the game again.
The Genshin Impact 4.6 version maintenance will begin on April 24 @ 6:00 AM (UTC + 8). If everything goes according to plan, the maintenance window should last three hours, concluding at 9:00 AM.
The pre-download size for Genshin Impact 4.6 is 8.57 – 9.9 GB for mobile devices and 28.72 – 36.2 GB for PCs. Nobody anticipated that the pre-download data would be so large as to be regarded as a re-download of the whole game.
HoYoverse is reportedly investigating methods to reduce the amount of updates for every iteration. But it seems that the new technique for reducing the download size hasn't been put into practice yet.Using X (Twitter), a prominent leaker of Genshin Impact has claimed that the reason for the huge download size is because the game is re-downloading all of its assets. The tweet also states that the patch size will be much less when all the assets are restored. This is reportedly a required step since HoYoverse rewrote all of its assets, which allowed them to enhance the compression and patching systems and get rid of duplicates.Arlecchino is the only new character in Genshin Impact 4.6.
