Summary
Genshin Impactplayers are calling for the addition of a long-missing feature in the PC version, one that mobile players have had access to for quite some time. Known for its frequent updates,Genshin Impactregularly introduces new content, with each version arriving approximately every 42 days. These updates consistently bring new characters, weapons, regions, and various gameplay improvements.
The ongoingGenshin Impactupdate 5.6 introduced players to two new characters: the long-awaited Fontaine chef Escoffier and Natlan’s most famous Saurian veterinarian, better known as Ifa. However, while many fans appreciate the game’s ever-expanding content, one issue has become increasingly problematic.
Asthe world ofGenshin Impactcontinues to expand with each new update, the game’s overall file size keeps increasing, reaching over 150GB for some players. For years, the community has urged HoYoverse to implement solutions that would reduce this massive storage requirement. One Reddit user, FineAppointment8946, recently proposed a simple fix: allowing players to delete old resources tied to quests they’ve already completed. These resources include unique one-time cutscenes and quest files that are no longer relevant or replayable. Considering thatGenshin Impacthas been around since 2020, many players have accumulated tens, if not hundreds, of hours worth of unused data. One of the main complaints is that this feature already exists on the mobile version, and fans argue that implementing it on PC shouldn’t be too difficult.
Genshin Impact Fans Urge HoYoverse to Reduce PC File Size
In the Reddit thread, several replies pointed out that one way toreduce theGenshin Impact’s file sizeis by deleting unused language packs. However, players estimate that introducing the Quest Resource Management feature on PC could potentially free up at least 20GB of storage space. With a major update on the horizon, it’s likely the file size will continue to balloon in the coming months.
HoYoverse has officially teased the arrival of abrand-newGenshin Impactregion named Nod-Krai, which is expected to release at the end of August, assuming the developer follows its regular update schedule. This means thatGenshin Impact6.0 will likely introduce a massive new playable area, which will continue expanding in future patches.
Although HoYoverse has yet to provide detailed information about Nod-Krai, in-game lore places it north of the Mondstadt region. Recent leaks suggest that some ofGenshin Impact’s most anticipated charactersmay debut there. Amid all these exciting content additions, players are still hoping that HoYoverse will finally address the growing storage concerns in the near future.
