HoYoVerse’s new game, Zenless Zone Zero, is almost here and, like many of the company’s titles, it is possible to preload and preinstall it ahead of its official release. That way, you can start playing as soon as it officially goes live. Here is everything you need to know to prepare.

Remember to create a HoYoVerse Account and pre-register!

If you’ve never played a HoYoVerse game, such as Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail, then you likely don’t have a HoYoVerse account. In order to play any HoYoVerse game on a PC or mobile device, you first need to create one. The account will act as your login across all of the company’s games, and you can use it to take part in limited-time web events.

If you’re on a PS5, you can just use your PSN account and don’t need to create a HoYoVerse account. However, you can tie your PSN account to a HoYoVerse one to allow you to carry over progress to other platforms.

The easiest way to create your HoYoVerse account for Zenless Zone Zero is by pre-registering for the game. Before its release, you’re able to do so on the game’s official website. Clicking “Sign Up” on the page takes you to the login window. From there, selecting “Register Now” lets you provide your email, create a password, and sign up.

How do I preload Zenless Zone Zero?

Zenless Zone Zero will be officially released for the PS5, PC, and Android and Apple iOS devices on July 4, 2024. However, players will be able to pre-download the game before the official release on July 2, 2024, so they can start playing as soon as the servers officially open on launch day. HoYoVerse hasn’t set the official worldwide release times as of June 28, 2024.

You’ll able to preload the game before its official launch by downloading the launchers on July 2, 2024. In the case of the PC version, someone could go to the official site or Epic Games Store to download it. On mobile devices, someone could head to Google Play or Apple’s App Store. There is also a PlayStation Store listing for the PS5 version, as well as a $9.99 bundle that includes 2 Master Tapes, 40 W-Engine Power Supply items, 80 Official Investigator Logs, and 150,000 Denny.

Zenless Zone Zero will be available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices on July 4, 2024, and people can preload it on July 2, 2024.
