Here’s how much free space you’ll need on your PC and mobile devices to run Genshin Impact, as of version 4.5 in April 2024.

Genshin Impact didn’t have a taxing PC requirement at launch, as it was fairly sized, featuring two major regions—Mondstadt and Liyue. But it has only grown ever since and now has a continental-size map with five major regions.

All of it does, of course, significantly increase storage requirements. So, if you’re wondering about Genshin Impact’s required storage space, here’s all you need to know.

Genshin Impact version 4.5 storage requirements on PC

As of April 2024, Genshin Impact version 4.5 requires more than 100 GB of storage space on PC. The number can be slightly different depending on the audio packs you’ve downloaded, and the overall size of the game can exceed 120 GB.

Epic Games states a minimum disk space requirement of 100 GB and a recommended storage of 150 GB as of April 2024.

Genshin Impact version 4.5 takes more than 35 GB of space on Android and iOS devices. Initially, the storage required to run the game smoothly on mobile devices used to be 10 GB, and it has tripled already.

How to reduce Genshin Impact size on PC and mobile

The only way through which you can effectively reduce Genshin Impact’s size on PC and mobile is by deleting unused audio packs.

Follow these steps to delete unused voice-over packs in Genshin Impact:

Launch Genshin Impact and open the Paimon Menu.
Go to in-game Settings > Language > Manage Voice-Over Language
The menu will display the current audio packs that you’ve downloaded.
Keep one voice-over pack that you use and uninstall the rest.

With this method, you can significantly reduce the game’s overall size, as every pack takes up to 8-9 GB of space.

Genshin Impact’s size keeps changing with each update.

Other methods, like clearing the cache on mobile, do work, but the size reduction will be minimal. The developers might need to come up with better solutions, or a large chunk of the playe r base will be compelled to uninstall Genshin Impact sooner or later.
