Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based, JRPG-inspired game by Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse (miHoYo), where you can jump aboard the Astral Express and trailblaze across the galaxy. If you're excited to start your journey, you first need to find a suitable device to play on.
Currently, Star Rail is supported across PC, Android, and iOS operating systems, all of which are also controller-compatible. We like playing on every platform, so let's talk about how powerful your devices first need to be to run the game at 60 FPS.
Honkai Star Rail PC system requirements
These are the recommended hardware for playing Honkai: Star Rail on a PC. A device with the minimum requirements will be able to run the game smoothly, but you may have to lower some in-game settings. If you want to play at max capacity, your device needs to have the recommended system requirements.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel® Core™ i5 or equivalent | Intel® Core™ i7 or equivalent |
| RAM | 8 GB or above | 8 GB or above |

The PC package size is 13.5 GB. Prepare a generous amount of space on your SSD to account for future updates, which can inflate the file size.
