Summary
Genshin Impactfans are unhappy with the recently revealed file size for the upcoming version 4.0. HoYoverse’s most popular title has a frequent update schedule that adds new content to the game approximately every 6 to 7 weeks. This content includes new explorable terrain, characters, weapons, or quests.
Genshin Impact’s official release was back in September 2020, so the game is slowly heading to its 3rd anniversary. During these three years, HoYovese has been constantly adding new things to the game and players will soon be able to enter a new major region. The recent promotional videos and live stream events have confirmed that version 4.0 will finally add the long-awaited Fontaine region.

While the addition of a new major region is probably the most exciting event for mostGenshin Impactfans, a lot of players face a serious issue with the game’s file size. A Reddit user named Kuraku4 has started an interesting discussion on the game’s main subreddit by complaining about the fact that theupcomingGenshin Impact4.0 updatewill take up 32GB of their storage. The game getting increasingly larger with every new update affects mobile players the most since PC and PlayStation users usually have larger storage at their disposal. A couple of comments have pointed out that some devices redownload the whole game whenever a new update arrives.
This means that the best way to save up some space would be to delete and download the game when a new version of the game becomes available. There is no official information aboutthe size of the Fontaine regionbut considering that the previously added nation, Sumeru, was bigger than Liyue and Mondstadt combined, players can probably expect something similar with the Hydro region as well.
The promotional videos have confirmed that the design of the main city of Fontaine has a futuristic design, and it will be filled with various rivers which makes sense since Hydro is the region’s representative element. When it comes to new playable units, tons ofnewGenshin Impactcharacters have been revealed, however, HoYoverse has only confirmed Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet for update 4.0.
Even though these three haven’t even officially joined the playable roster,Genshin Impacthas already confirmed two new charactersthat will arrive in update 4.1. These characters are known as Wriothesley and Neuvillette, and they are both expected to have a higher five-star rarity.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
