Honkai Star Rail System Requirements Guide - Can Your Phone Play It?

Honkai Star Rail is a massive open-world turn-based RPG. The game features tons of playable and non-playable characters, beautifully animated cutscenes, and tons of quests for players to complete. Naturally, with all of these things going on in the world of Honkai Star Rail, you can expect the game to be relatively intensive on the device you are using. Honkai Star Rail will release on PC, Android, and iOS devices.

Genshin Impact, another game developed by HoYoverse, is also available to play on mobile devices but is often referred to as a mobile killer. This is because the game is so powerful that most ordinary smartphones cannot run the game for extended periods without the device overheating. So, if Honkai Star Rail is going to be just as powerful, you'll need to know what devices can run the game effectively. That's where we come in! This article will cover everything you need to know about the system requirements for Honkai Star Rail!

First and foremost, there are no official system requirements to play Honkai Star Rail. The game can be played on any kind of modern smartphone or gaming PC. However, depending on the device you have, Honkai Star Rail may make your device overheat or lose battery power a lot quicker. Additionally, players can always downgrade the overall graphics quality and FPS in the main menu in order to try and optimize the game for their device. 

That being said, for a stable experience on a medium or higher graphics setting at 60FPS, here are some recommendations for the minimum system requirements to play Honkai Star Rail. 

Honkai Star Rail PC Requirements

  • Windows 7+ (x64) 
  • Intel i5 Processor
  • 8GB RAM
  • GeForce GT 1030

Honkai Star Rail Mobile Requirements

iOS:

  • iPhone 8 Plus minimum

Android:

  • CPU: Snapdragon 845+
  • RAM: 4 GB+
  • Android 8.1+

These are the minimum requirements to comfortably play Honkai Star Rail, based on the minimum PC and mobile system requirements to play Genshin Impact. It is recommended to adjust the in-game settings to tailor the gameplay to the device you have.

However, because Honkai Star Rail is a turn-based game and not an action game, there will be, overall, fewer moving parts on screen when compared to a game like Genshin Impact. This means that the barrier for entry in Honkai Star Rail will likely be a lot lower than it is for Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact 3rd.
