Honkai Star Rail, HoYoverse’s gorgeous new open-world RPG, has quickly built up a dedicated fanbase since launching on mobile and PC. With its anime visuals, deep lore, and tactical combat, it’s easy to see why players can’t get enough of this sci-fi adventure.

Many gamers got their first taste of HoYoverse’s talent with Genshin Impact – the studio’s insanely popular action RPG that attracted tons of fans on both PS4 and PS5. So it makes total sense that PlayStation owners are excitedly waiting for any update on when Honkai Star Rail might launch on PS4. But so far, concrete details have been few and far between.
Still No PS4 Release Date for Honkai Star Rail
The not-so-great news is that HoYoverse hasn’t announced an official PS4 release date yet. The good news is that Honkai Star Rail is hitting PS5 on October 11, 2023. But for PS4 fans, the wait for their ticket to ride continues.
When Honkai Star Rail was initially shown off, the trailers mentioned it was on the way to both PS4 and PS5. However, recent updates, like the PS5 date reveal, have only talked about next-gen. This lack of PS4 chatter has some fans worried that a last-gen version might not happen at all.
Looking at Genshin Impact’s timeline gives us an interesting clue. The PS5 version came out exactly 7 months after the PS4 launch. If HoYoverse follows that pattern, PS4 players might not board the Astral Express until Spring 2024. But nothing’s set in stone yet.
What Fans Can Do While They Wait
While the PS4 release is still up in the air, Honkai Star Rail is fully playable on iOS, Android, and PC right now. Gamers who start the journey on those platforms will be able to bring their progress and characters to PS5 later on. Until we get concrete PS4 details, the best move is to dive into the game’s constantly growing universe of lore and gameplay on mobile or PC. The Astral Express will welcome PlayStation fans when the time is right. But for now, sci-fi lovers can still explore HoYoverse’s latest cosmic world.
