Honkai Star Rail's pre-installation period has begun, allowing players to install the game before its official release on April 26, 2023. Players can download the game right now, on April 23, 2023, and log in to the next title as soon as the servers become live in three days.
People are therefore curious to find out what the minimum and suggested system requirements are for these platforms. If you want to run this JRPG smoothly, you'll need to meet the following hardware specifications.
For now, the game is only set for release on PC, Android, and iOS. The developer has yet to comment on whether it will be out on the PlayStation at the same time as the other systems. Interestingly, there's been no information about an Xbox release yet, and much like HoYoverse’s other title, Genshin Impact, it will likely never be making its way to Microsoft’s console.

How to pre-install Honkai Star Rail on Mobile and PC
PC preload
In order to preload Honkai Star Rail, players can either download the game client directly from the game's home page or use the Epic Games Store - unlike Honkai Impact 3rd, Star Rail is not available on Steam.
Between the two methods, directly downloading is the better choice, as the Epic Games Store is still highly unresponsive. Players can just turn on the game and play immediately without having to go through yet another layer of DRM. In order to access Star Rail on EGS, players need an Epic account and a Hoyoverse account, whereas they only need the latter for the game client. The Epic client also has a bonus code as well.
However, Epic might release an exclusive code for Star Rail similar to their Genshin code later, so it is best to keep an eye out.
After opening up the game for the first time, predownload would be available. Click Install after completing the email pre-registration process for the game. On your computer, the game will start to load automatically, but you won't be able to play it until the servers become live on April 26, 2023.

The method of installing the game beforehand on your smartphone is not too difficult. Simply visit the app store for the platform (Android or iOS) of your smartphone and conduct a library search for the game there.
