All Genshin Impact servers will go under maintenance for the new v3.4 update on January 18, which is expected to last five hours. During this time, fans will not be able to play the game. The update will add a new Sumeru region and bring back one of the most popular events, the Lantern Rite festival.

In every new update, the Genshin Impact app downloads new files for the new patch, which can be a time-consuming ordeal. HoYoverse has added a unique feature to speed up the whole process. It's called the Pre-Installation function to download some files before the official release of the new update.

Here's a guide on downloading the Genshin Impact 3.4 update resource package on both PC and mobile devices.

For PC players, the new update Pre-installation function is an efficiently convenient feature. You must first open the launcher and update it, after which a new Game Pre-Installation option will appear next to the game Launch option.

Click on this option, and the launcher will ask you for a confirmation to begin downloading. The file size for a PC is 7.41GB, but you will need at least 16GB of space to unzip the files.

While downloading, you can check the status by hovering the cursor over the Game Pre-Installation option. Fortunately, PC players can still play the game or engage in other work while the files download in the background.

Two methods to download the new update's resource package are available on mobile devices like Android and iOS.

The first method is to open the game and wait until you see the login screen. Tap on the pre-installation package option in the bottom left corner to commence the file's download.

The second method is to go to the Paimon Menu and open the settings. From there, go to Resources and press on
