Genshin Impact just keeps getting bigger—with each new region, boss fight, and event, the download size does too. Whether you’re venturing into Fontaine for the first time or preparing for the next major patch, it’s handy knowing how much storage you’ll need on your device.
Here’s a quick rundown of Genshin Impact’s file size on all major platforms, plus a few tips to help you manage space, so your Genshin account is ready to hit the ground running.
Mobile (iOS & Android)
- Size: Around 31 GB with everything downloaded
- You’ll want at least 40 GB free for updates and future content
- If you clear out old quests and cutscenes in settings, the size can drop to 19–25 GB
As one player put it: “Only 25 GB on mobile? That’s honestly solid for an open-world RPG this big.”
Pro tip: Run the in-game resource management tool to tidy up cutscene and voice data after finishing story arcs. This can save a ton of space.
PC (Windows)
- Size: ~86–90 GB after install, but it can go up to 150 GB if you keep all voice packs and assets
- Make sure you’ve got 100 GB+ free to avoid issues during major updates
- Genshin also stores extra files after patches, so clearing temp folders every now and then can help
Pro tip: If you can, install it on an SSD—load times are way faster, especially in regions like the Chasm or Sumeru.
PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5
- PS4: Around 70–85 GB, depending on what’s installed
- PS5: Roughly 100 GB
- If you’re short on space, streaming through PlayStation Plus is a decent alternative (no install needed)
Pro tip: Delete language packs you don’t use to free up several gigs.
Xbox Series X|S
- Size: About 104 GB, similar to the PC version
- Aim for 110 GB+ free space to be safe
- If you’ve got Game Pass Ultimate, you can stream it instead of downloading
Pro tip: When switching from cloud to local play, make sure your save is synced—nothing worse than losing progress to a version mismatch.

Final Thoughts
With how often Genshin Impact drops new content, storage management has become part of the grind. Mobile users get the lightest version, but PC and console players should be ready to free up serious space—especially during big updates. Clean up, clear space, and stay ready for the next region or Archon Quest drop.
