Honkai Star Rail’s major 1.4 update “Jolted Awake From a Winter Dream" with new areas: Old Weapon Testing Ground and Pillars of Creation, the Aetherium Wars game, new playable characters, and more has launched on iOS, Android, and PC as of a few hours ago. Alongside the update launching, Honkai Star Rail has also launched globally on PS5 with cross progression. If you pre-loaded on PC or mobile, the download within the app client will not be much. On PS5, the Honkai Star Rail download size is about 34GB. If you do plan on playing on PS5, make sure you carefully go through the menus so you don’t inadvertently create a new HoYoverse account linked to PSN rather than having your main one linked. Since I already had this setup for Genshin Impact, it just picked that up and had me signed in when I booted up Honkai Star Rail. Watch the Honkai Star Rail PS5 launch trailer below:

Full patch notes for 1.4 are here. Logging into the game on PS5 will get you an added reward as detailed here. I’ll definitely be trying out Honkai Star Rail more on PS5 today. If you’ve not gotten Honkai Star Rail yet, you can download it on the App Store for iOS here, on Google Play for Android here, and here on the Epic Games Store in addition to its regular PC version. Have you been playing Honkai Star Rail regularly since it launched on mobile and PC and will you be trying it on PS5?
