Players in Honkai: Star Rail can rejoice as the game is offering free Stellar Jades, which is great news for those who have been saving up to pull for the upcoming five-star banner characters. Version 1.1 is set to launch on June 7 and will introduce new characters, events, and features, including an in-game chat. The pre-download for both PC and mobile is already available, but players should take note of the scheduled server maintenance on June 7 at 3pm PT/6am ET.
As part of the scheduled server maintenance, Honkai: Star Rail will be temporarily offline for a duration of five hours. To make up for the inconvenience caused, HoYoverse has announced that players who have reached Trailblaze Level 4 or higher will receive 300 Stellar Jades for free. These can be claimed via in-game mail after the update is downloaded and will be available until July 7th. For players who have not yet reached Trailblaze Level 4, there is still time to farm EXP materials and complete missions before the maintenance begins.
It is worth noting that HoYoverse regularly compensates players with in-game currency during maintenance periods. Fans of Honkai: Star Rail have expressed their gratitude for the upcoming update and the free Stellar Jades, which will prove useful in acquiring characters such as Silver Wolf and other five-star banner characters. Additionally, players were able to claim free Star Rail Special Passes in Version 1.1 simply by logging in for seven consecutive days.
Honkai: Star Rail has made a strong impression on players since its launch in April, thanks to its turn-based gameplay and captivating narrative. Fans of the HoYoverse franchise have even drawn comparisons between the game and Genshin Impact, citing similarities in character design and combat difficulty. The developer has also been praised for their responsiveness to player feedback, such as addressing animation issues with Seele's ultimate ability.
With such a promising start, players are eagerly anticipating future updates and improvements to the game. Despite rumors and leaks circulating about potential content, players remain invested in the experience and are eagerly anticipating what's to come, even if none of the news has been confirmed by HoYoverse.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices. PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
