Genshin Impact 2.3 pre-installation

Genshin Impact 2.3 pre-installation will begin from 22nd November at 19:00 UTC, and only PC and mobile players can pre-install it. However, it is worth keeping in mind that if you are a mobile player, you won't be able to play the game while downloading new files, so if you are in between any Challenges or Domains, it is recommended that you finish them first.
