HoYoVerse has announced that it released a Genshin Impact Required Resource Package for the PS4 version of the game. This is to better support how much storage the game takes up.
The Required Resource Package for Genshin Impact is already live, and it’ll take up approximately 16.194 GB on your system. To download it, you simply need to search for it in the PlayStation Store. If you go to the game’s page, you can also find it as an Add-On. From there, you will simply need to download it.
Though the page for the resource package does not give details beyond “better support the storage” of the game, it’s likely to do with how the game handles updating itself for patches, as well as help with load time. PS4 players, for example, experience significant lag when loading into worlds or domains compared to PC, mobile, or PS5 players.
Comments on HoYoLab express relief that HoYoVerse is optimizing PS4 performance for Genshin Impact. Common complaints until the resource package, aside from the aforementioned load time, include how big each update is (thus bloating up the PS4’s storage) and how long they take to download.
Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Required Resource Package is only for the PS4 version of the game, and you can find it in the PlayStation Store. Version 4.3 of Genshin Impact will go live on December 20, 2023.
