Honkai: Star Rail is the latest gaming sensation from Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd’s developer, HoYoverse. Based around a space train called Astral Express, the game blends the gacha aspect of the Japanese games with space monsters fantasy.
Although Honkai: Star Rail has gotten the stamp of approval from fans all around the world, some gamers may not take a liking to this game and might want to delete their account, or maybe some players find it too addictive and want to delete the account to overcome the addiction. Others may want to restart their journey on the Astral Express from level 1. And, of course, there is always the issue of the device storage space, which may compel some players to delete their accounts. Therefore, this article will show players how they can get rid of their Honkai: Star Rail accounts once and for all.
How to Permanently Delete a Honkai: Star Rail Account
- Open Honkai: Star Rail one last time before saying adios.
- Open the menu by pressing the Esc button on the PC or tapping the Phone icon on mobile. This is the only step that is different for the PC and mobile users.
- Click on the Gear icon to open the Settings.
- Once there, tap the fourth icon from the left to open the Account Settings.
- This will take players to the User Center, which has all the information regarding the user's account. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the Requesting Account Deletion option.
- Clicking on it will open a confirmation window enlisting the risks of deleting the account. Make sure to give it a quick read before confirming the decision.
Confirming the account deletion will freeze the account for 30 days. A change of mind in this period allows users to log back into their accounts and restore their progress.
Potential Risks of Deleting the Honkai: Star Rail Account
Here are a few things that players should be aware of before permanently deleting their Honkai: Star Rail account:
- Deleting the Honkai: Star Rail account essentially means deleting all the HoYoverse data, as all HoYoverse games are connected to one account. Therefore, deleting the account will wipe away the gamer’s progress in Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd as well.
- After the 30-day freezing period is over, the account deletion is irreversible and will strip the players of all their progress in the game.
- Players will also lose all their in-app purchases with no monetary refund.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
