Honkai: Star Rail has confirmed an important feature for its PS5 version, as it looks like the game will feature full cross-save capabilities across the various platforms. Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based RPG with gacha elements, and it gets new updates on a regular basis that offer more story content and events.
Honkai: Star Rail is currently available on PC and mobile devices, and it's scheduled to come out on PS5 as well. While there isn’t an exact date for its PlayStation release, Honkai: Star Rail is set to launch on PS5 in Q4 2023. The given period has a wide range, so fans will have to wait for more detailed information on its release plans. However, it looks like users will be able to transfer their progress whenever the PS5 edition comes out, as Honkai: Star Rail will feature cross-save functionality across all platforms.
Honkai: Star Rail will support cross-play and cross-save functions, allowing gamers to continue their progress across different platforms. This information comes via developer HoYoverse, who shared further details on the upcoming version 1.3 of Honkai: Star Rail. It has also been confirmed that Honkai: Star Rail will be featured during Gamescom 2023 on August 22.
Genshin Impact features full cross-save functionality, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see Honkai: Star Rail also offer the same feature. As the PS5 version will come out several months after the initial release, some players have likely made considerable progress in the game. As an example, some users could have unlocked powerful 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail, in addition to finishing up various main story quests.
Additionally, it looks like players have started hitting the level cap, as one user shared an image confirming that they have reached Trailblaze Level 70 in Honkai: Star Rail. Gamers who have been playing since the beginning probably have a reasonably high Trailblaze Level, as it can take tens of hours of gameplay time to reach this stage.
Overall, this cross-save feature will let fans continue their Honkai: Star Rail playthrough on PS5 without losing progress, allowing them to switch between the various platforms whenever they want. PS5 owners starting a new playthrough will be a bit behind other users, so it’ll be interesting to see if they get any bonuses that can help them catch up faster.
Honkai Star Rail is available now on Mobile and PC, with a PS5 version launching in Q4 2023.
