Earlier in March 2023, Honkai: Star Rail’s lead programmer Yang Yu said the PS4 and PS5 versions will launch “in the near future,” but did not specify an exact release date. For now, players will have to try the game on PC or mobile.
What Is the Honkai: Star Rail File Size?
On PC, Honkai: Star Rail will initially clock in at around 10.12GB, while the mobile version will take up around 7GB of storage space.
Is There a Honkai: Star Rail Launch Bonus?
Players who complete pre-registration prior to the game’s launch on April 26 are granted bonuses, and it looks like over 10 million users have taken advantage of the rewards thus far.
Pre-registering for Honkai: Star Rail gives players access to 20 Star Rail Passes, which is one of the game’s main forms of currency, along with the 4-star character Serval. This character will focus on the Lightning Element and is a member of the Landau family.
Likewise, HoYoverse is offering an additional signup giveaway on Twitter, wherein players have a chance of winning a $100 gift card.
