You can grab right now ahead of release.

You might consider the biggest Xbox releases this week to be Stalker 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but don’t forget the other massive one - free-to-play sensation Genshin Impact arrives on Wednesday, November 20th.

If you want to be ready to go on Wednesday, you can actually preload Genshin Impact on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S right now, and you might be surprised to learn that it’s over 100GB! Here’s what some Xbox fans have been saying…

    This isn’t surprising though. As an Xbox player, I would fully expect a game that has been out for years and received many major updates in its lifetime to be a gargantuan download size by now.

    EDIT: LOL, making an article out of literally nothing. Their quoted comments are like, 2 upvotes here, 6 upvotes there, and one with a MASSIVE 100 upvotes, whoopee!

    Not that shocking? It’s pushing 45gb or so on mobile, and my PC install is like 85gb.

    I can see how you might end up slightly bigger on a version that might have more than a single version of each resource for the good console and the potato one, since I’m assuming that they’re doing universal downloads and not packaging two versions?

    ARK: Survival Ascended players: “First time?”

    Hell, I just started with their dev kit, and it’s 760gb – I had to dedicate an entire NVME drive to it.
