FAQs for System Requirements

Is Too Much RAM an Overkill?

If you have a higher RAM than the one specified in the Recommended System Requirements section for PCs and Android phones, it's not exactly an overkill, but it makes for a wider leeway for your device to run the game smoothly!

Does the Game Really Only Need 30GB?

As Genshin Impact expands the game by adding newer areas each Version update, the storage space it occupies also increases. 30GB is only the base installation size of Version 1.0 back in September 28, 2020 during its launch, but it has already gone way beyond that because of the numerous updates!
