Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 Pre-Installation Notice

Get ready to explore the vast galaxy of Honkai: Star Rail with the upcoming Version 2.5 update. To ensure a seamless gaming experience, the developers have made the update available for pre-installation on PC and mobile devices. By pre-downloading the necessary resources, players can enjoy faster entry into the game after the version maintenance.

Pre-installing the update is highly recommended, especially for those with slower internet connections.

Before you start the pre-installation process, make sure to check the system requirements and available storage space on your device. The PC pre-installation resource size is approximately 11.8 GB, while the mobile version requires around 1.6 GB. Leaving ample storage space will help prevent any issues with missing resources and ensure a smooth gaming experience.
