Honkai: Star Rail have announced new system requirements that will be implemented during the Version 4.0 Update. These system requirements will be higher, aimed at improving performance as well as support future game updates. While devices that fall below the new minimum requirements may still run the game, players may experience issues such as lag or crashes.
The recommended specs now target higher end hardware across PC, mobile and iOS devices. This includes stronger processors, increased RAM and better graphics performance. The supported (minimum) requirements have also been raised meaning older devices may no longer offer a stable experience. This allows the game to remain compatible with future technological improvements.
Android devices will need more powerful chipsets and sufficient RAM with limited GPU compatibility. iOS support now focuses on newer iPhone and iPad models. On consoles, the game is supported on PlayStation 5 only.
