Honkai Star Rail is shaping up to be one of HoYoverse's most ambitious projects. The developers behind multiple successful gacha titles will be trying their hand at another game within the Honkaiverse. The company will also introduce turn-based combat with unique mechanics and animations.

Amidst their closed beta announcement for February 10, 2023, players can pre-load the game on multiple platforms, including PC and mobile devices. In an official post a few hours ago, HoYoverse announced a few details regarding the pre-registration of the final product.

This article aims to guide you through pre-registering on separate platforms, including PC, Android Play Store, and iOS App Store.

HoYoverse also has a lot of rewards stored for everyone, provided that the community succeeds in reaching different goals.

To pre-register for Honkai Star Rail on PC, head to the game's official page to start. Once entered, log in using the credentials on your HoYoverse account. After following the on-screen instructions, you will be logged in to the game's webpage.

Look for the "Register Now" option in the top-right corner of the page, just beside your Account name. Once you interact with the option, a small window will pop up, confirming your pre-registration on your PC. You will be notified of the game's release in the email you used to log in.

The webpage has a lot of different things, including the latest news regarding Honkai Star Rail, details on playable characters, gameplay, and more.


2) Mobile devices

If you're on Android, open the Play Store and search for Honkai Star Rail in the search bar. Once the title appears, click on the install option on the side with a clock icon. You will then receive a message saying, "This game will automatically install when it's available," confirming the pre-registration for your Android device.

Users on iOS can pretty much follow the same process on the App Store or download the Tap Tap from the same location. Android users can also download this software via the Play Store, as pre-registration of Honkai Star Rail is also available there.

However, those who pre-register from the Play Store, App Store, or Tap Tap are recommended to check back to their respective software once the game goes live.


3) Pre-registration rewards
