HoYoverse just dropped the hottest quality-of-life update in Genshin Impact history, and I'm here living my best Teyvat life. As someone who’s been juggling storage space like a circus performer since 2020, update 4.6 feels like winning a 50/50 pity roll. The servers are back online with Arlecchino’s debut – chef’s kiss – but let’s talk about the real MVPs: storage optimization and the Enhancement Ore inventory expansion.
📱 Storage Space: From 'Delete Your Photos' to 'Breathing Room'
Holy moly, the mobile version’s file size got chopped down by 30-40% for most players! My own game went from hogging 27GB to a svelte 19GB – smaller than my Honkai: Star Rail folder now. PC players aren’t left hanging either; my buddy’s rig freed up 15GB of SSD space. The update download itself is chonky (~5GB on mobile), but trust me, it’s worth the wait.

Pro tip: If you’re installing fresh, the game’s initial size is now leaner than a Mondstadt salad. But veteran travelers, back up your data first – HoYoverse’s compression magic works differently based on your progress.
🛠️ Enhancement Ore: Bye-Bye Inventory Anxiety
Raise your hand if you’ve rage-deleted Mystic Enhancement Ores just to claim event rewards 🙋♂️. The cap just skyrocketed from 9,999 to 99,999 – that’s enough to level a small army of 1-star weapons! As an AR60 player drowning in ores, this change hits harder than a fully charged Raiden Shogun burst.

Now I can finally hoard ores like a dragon without those pesky notifications. Time to triple-crown all my neglected 3-star weapons for the meme builds!

❓FAQ: What Travelers Are Asking
Q: How much storage did HoYoverse actually save?
A: Mobile users report 18-27GB shrinkage. PC savings vary but expect at least 10GB.
Q: What’s the tea on Enhancement Ore?
A: HoYoverse finally heard our prayers – 99k cap means no more u0022Inventory Fullu0022 spam. Grind freely!
Q: Does this mean faster load times?
A: My Mondstadt teleport went from u0022making coffeeu0022 to u0022microwave beepu0022 speed. YMMV.
Q: Should I reinstall the whole game?
A: Nah fam, just update normally. Fresh installs get auto-optimized.
This update proves HoYoverse isn’t just about u0022working as intendedu0022 – they’re actually fixing our day-one gripes. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got 80k Enhancement Ores to burn and a Pyro DPS to build. Slides into 4.7 update rumors 🕶️
