Honkai Star Rail version 1.1 is not out for the PS5

Version 1.1 of Honkai Star Rail is not available for PlayStation 5 or even a PlayStation 4 version worldwide, leaving players disappointed. Prior leaks seemed to suggest that the game would make its way to the PlayStation consoles with the launch of version 1.1, which was ultimately proven false since HoYoverse did not confirm the matter.

As such, players can only wait until HoYoverse releases an official update regarding the port status.

When can players expect a PlayStation 5 release for Honkai Star Rail?

Note: The following section is based on pure speculation and must be taken with a grain of salt. Furthermore, it reflects the author’s opinions and is subjective.

While there has been no official confirmation regarding the state of the PlayStation ports or its tentative release date, we can make an educated guess based on the numerous leaks and release strategy of its elder sibling, Genshin Impact.

The PlayStation ports for Honkai Star Rail are expected to arrive sometime after the end of version 1.1 or after July 28, 2023. Players will likely be able to play the beloved game on their consoles during version 1.2, assuming the rumors follow through.

However, in the unlikely event that the PlayStation release gets delayed further (as with Genshin Impact), players can expect the game to arrive sometime before winter 2023 at the earliest, as HoYoverse has committed to releasing it this year. A delayed port is always better than a rushed one, and the delay may be reasonably necessary to polish up the game’s release for the much inferior PlayStation 4 console.
