Can you play Honkai Star Rail on Mac?

Before we teach you the method, remember that this method could end up damaging your files. Windows OS will take up space on your hard drive, which might cause some issues. Back up everything on your Mac before you get started.

To play Star Rail on your Mac, you’ll need to use Boot Camp Assistant to add Windows to your device. This should already be included in your macOS. Make sure you have at least 128GB of free storage space on your Mac startup disk to avoid any issues.
