Honkai Star Rail was made available for players to pre-install from April 23, 2023 and can now be downloaded on both PC and mobile devices.

According to the official specs and requirements from HoYoverse, we do know that players on PC will need to have at least 20GB of storage available to install and run the game. Additionally, the game will require a small update after it launches to get things up and running. It won’t be nearly as large as the initial install, but players will still need to go through that step to get in when servers go up.

There you have it, that’s everything we know so far about how to preinstall Honkai Star Rail so you can jump straight into the turn-based title as soon as the game launches on April 26, 2023.
