A little over a week ago, the Genshin Impact (Free) version 3.6 – A Parade of Providence update was detailed and confirmed for release on April 12th worldwide on all platforms. This update brings in the Akademiya Extravaganza, a new area, five star Dendro Catalyst user Baizhu, four-star Dendro Claymore user Kaveh, the weekly boss, new story quests, and more. Today, pre-installation has gone live on iOS, Android, and PC platforms. As usual, there is no pre-installation on PS5 and PS4. This update also adds a Hangout Quest for Layla. If you missed the previously-announced Prime Gaming collaboration, read this. Watch the Genshin Impact version 3.6 update – A Parade of Providence trailer below:

The pre-installation size is about 2.5GB on iPad. If you haven’t checked out Genshin Impact yet, you can download it for free on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. The PC version is available on the official website here and the Epic Games Store. If you play on iOS, with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later, you can use PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers to play Genshin Impact. We featured Genshin Impact as our Game of the Week when it released and awarded it our 2020 Game of the Year. I also featured it as one of the best iOS games to play with a controller.
