Honkai Star Rail update guide

Are you having trouble keeping on top of the Honkai Star Rail update schedule? Wanna know what the current update is introducing and what the next update is set to bring? Well, sit back and relax, dear passenger, as PT Pom-Pom is here to play as your personal travel guide, filling you in on all the latest content, characters, and more coming in the next HSR update.

If you need a bit more help on your astral adventure, check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list, Honkai Star Rail characters, and Honkai Star Rail banner guides. We’ve also got a super handy list of all the latest Honkai Star Rail codes, as well as details on all the current and upcoming Honkai Star Rail events.

Will there be a Honkai Star Rail livestream?

With the massive popularity of the Genshin Impact update livestreams, it’s a fair question to ask whether Honkai Star Rail will get the same treatment. The Honkai Star Rail release date isn’t quite here yet, and we’re still riding the hype train of the last Honkai Star Rail beta, but we’ve yet to see any announcements from Hoyoverse regarding a Honkai Star Rail livestream.

However, considering how huge the game is already and how many Trailblazers are queuing up to hop aboard, we think it’s pretty likely that Hoyoverse will give HSR the Genshin treatment come its full release, with a livestream to announce the changes coming in each of the future updates. Of course, as soon as we find out more, we’ll be sure to add it to this guide.

When is the next Honkai Star Rail update?

The final closed beta is live as of February 10, 2023, and brings with it a lot of new updates and fresh content since the previous beta. We doubt we’ll see any major updates throughout the course of the beta period, though it’s likely that Hoyoverse will continue to drip-feed us new characters, banners, and events as we go along. As betas are focused on testing and patching up content prior to a game’s full release, we also expect plenty of bug fixes over the next few weeks.

Who are the new characters in the latest Honkai Star Rail update?

The latest beta brings us several new characters that we hadn’t met during our last trailblazing adventure. They are:

Is there a new region in the latest Honkai Star Rail update?

The latest beta ushers in the addition of a new world – the Xianzhou Luofu – where we can continue our journey after completing the main story quests on Jarilo-VI. The Xianzhou Luofu is a beautiful, advanced warship, where we get to meet a whole host of interesting characters including Tingyun, Jing Yuan, Yanqing, and more.

That’s all we’ve got on the current Honkai Star Rail update for now, but keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be updating this guide with fresh information in the future. In the meantime, be sure to check out our list of the best games like Genshin Impact for more worlds to explore.
