Exclusive: Honkai's Star Rail PS5 Release Date Confirmed

During the Summer Game Fest, a new trailer for Honkai: Star Rail was unveiled, revealing that a PlayStation 5 version of the turn-based RPG is set to release in Q4 2023. Although the game is currently available on mobile devices and PC, developer HoYoverse had previously announced that a PlayStation version was also in the works, but it wouldn't be released alongside the other editions. Despite the game's official release in April 2023, there had been no updates on the PlayStation version until this recent trailer. Unfortunately, it seems that PlayStation fans will have to exercise patience as they wait for the release.

The upcoming release of Honkai: Star Rail on PlayStation 5 in Q4 of 2023 has been confirmed by the Summer Game Fest trailer. Fans will have to wait a few months before they can experience the game, but the trailer offers a glimpse of what's to come, including the newly added character Silver Wolf and the upcoming Yukong. However, with Q4 of 2023 being quite far away, players who start a new account with this release may have a lot of catching up to do as Honkai: Star Rail is likely to receive several updates by then.

Interestingly, despite earlier information suggesting that Honkai: Star Rail would also be available on the PS4, it seems that it will only be released on the PS5. While the PlayStation Blog announcement does not specify a platform, the reveal trailer mentions only the PS5. It's possible that the development team faced challenges in getting the game to run on the PS4, leading to the decision to focus solely on the newer console. It remains to be seen if Honkai: Star Rail will ever make its way to the PS4 or other consoles in the future.

The latest update of Honkai: Star Rail, Version 1.1, is now available, offering players a variety of new events, quests, and items to enjoy. Among the updates is a quality-of-life improvement that enables players to continue sprinting even when switching characters in the game. However, it appears that the in-game chat feature is not yet accessible in this version. Honkai: Star Rail is currently accessible on both Mobile and PC platforms, while its PS5 version is expected to be launched in Q4 2023.
