The latest update forZenless Zone Zerois now available across all platforms including PC. The banner features two new S-Rank agents including Astra Yao and Evelyn. Despite miHoYo’s attempts to improve the update process thanks to the unified launcher, HoyoPlay, things still aren’t perfect. To minimize interaction with the launcher, here’s how you can manually update to Zenless Zone Zero version 1.5 on PC.
Manually Update to Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5
Just like Genshin Impact, and Honkai Star Rail, the links provided in this guide are the same ones the launcher uses to communicate with miHoYo servers.
Zenless Zone Zero 1.5 Patch Files
Youneed the Patch file, andat least one audio file pack. Make sure to download the audio pack that matches your default Windows language.
Step 1: Initiate the Update in the Launcher and Pause It
Run the launcher and it will automatically update to the latest version. After that, start the pre-install update or just update (depending on when you’re following this guide).
Step 2: Exit the Launcher
Step 3: Delete the Temporary Download Files
Make your way to the installation location of Zenless Zone Zero. The default location is as follows:
Step 4: Move Zip Files to Games Folder
After you’ve deleted the temporary files, copy the zip files (the patch and the audio file) and paste those into the installation location. The default is the following:
Step 5: Resume the Launcher Download
With the temporary files deleted, and the patch files moved to the main folder, we can now run the launcher again. Once launched, HoYoPlay will automatically detect the patch files and install the latest update after you click “Resume”. You can manually extract the files as well, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

After the update process is complete, there’s a very good chance that Zenless Zone Zero will download additional files in-game. Once inside though, make sure to check out ourranking for the charactersin the title.
