Quick guide on how to complete the preinstallation feature for the upcoming Genshin Impact 3.2 update and reduce wait time when the update drops.

Genshin Impact v3.2 update is coming out in a few days. The update will give us new story quests, Scaramouche weekly boss, a new area in the desert, puzzles, character stories, events, and much more. We will also get the Nahida and Yoimiya Banners, along with a stacked weapon banner.

Safe to say, Genshin players all over the world are hyped for the Dendro Archon Banner. But before that, we have to sit through a few gigabytes of updates. Genshin Impact has a useful feature that lets players update the game before, so the wait time is reduced when the update actually drops.

Some players might be unsure as to how the pre-installation feature actually works. So this article will discuss everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact 3.2, including the start date/time and how to preinstall for PC and mobile devices.

Genshin Impact 3.2 Preinstallation:

If you are reading this article, then the Genshin Impact 3.2 Preinstallation has already started.

〓How to Update〓

When the version update is released, Travelers on iOS devices must enter the App Store and tap “Update.” Android users may open the game and follow the directions on-screen (or open Google Play and tap “Update”).

Using the pre-installation function will reduce the time that the game spends updating resources on the first time you enter a new version, even if you did not fully complete pre-installation.

PC:

After the pre-installation function is available, you must first update the Genshin Impact Launcher. After updating the launcher, a “Game Pre-Installation” button will appear to the left of the “Launch” button. Click “Game Pre-Installation” to download the latest game resources.

Using the pre-installation function can speed up the update progress of the launcher during version updates.
