How to preload Zenless Zone Zero on all platforms

Prepare for launch day in the best way possible.

Zenless Zone Zero is an incredible upcoming open-world RPG from Genshin Impact creators miHoYo. The game combines the studio’s prowess for RPG worlds and mechanics with a great gacha system, which is why it pays to have it preloaded on your chosen platform for release day.

You can play Zenless Zone Zero from July 4, 2024, but only those who have preloaded will be getting in first. The game is incredibly popular, and the servers will be packed from the very first second it’s live. That’s why you need to get it downloaded onto your platform of choice well ahead of time, so you’re not left waiting while everyone else is grabbing characters and having fun without you.

Preloads for Zenless Zone Zero go live on July 2, 2024, for PC, PS5, and mobile devices. However, the process for preloading differs between each, which is why I’ve outlined how they all work below. Don’t forget to pre-register for the game to get yourself a bunch of free bonuses to use on day one.

How to preload Zenless Zone Zero for PS5

To preload Zenless Zone Zero on PS5, you must purchase the Pre-Order Bundle. This costs £9.49/$9.99 and grants you a few in-game goodies to get started with. If you don’t pre-order this bundle, you can’t download the game until release day. It feels quite cheeky, but this is what miHoYo did with Honkai: Star Rail, and if you were planning on spending some cash on the game anyway, it’s not much of a stretch to be able to play on release day.

How to preload Zenless Zone Zero for Android & iOS

To preload Zenless Zone Zero for mobile devices running Android and iOS, visit the game’s official website and follow the instructions to grab it from the correct application storefront. This is probably the easiest way to preload the game. You will almost certainly need to download a day-one update, but at least you can get the bulk of the work out of the way early.

At the time of writing, miHoYo hasn’t announced that there will be a day one patch for Zenless Zone Zero. However, I’ve been playing these games long enough to know that there will likely be some sort of day one download required before getting into the game. Be patient and prepare to have a short delay while you download this.
