With speculations flying around the internet about the game’s release on PC, we’re here to give you a definitive answer. So let’s dive right in!
Has Honkai Star Rail been released on PC?
Fortunately enough, Honkai: Star Rail has been released on PC and you’ll be able to enjoy it once you’ve downloaded it through Epic Games. However, apart from Epic Games, there aren’t any other gaming platforms on PC that will be hosting the latest Honkai entry.
That said, on the Epic Store, Honkai: Star Rail is totally free to download and will take around 20GB of your available space. The Gacha game also has some minimum and recommended specs requirements for PC gamers to ensure that it runs smoothly. Before rushing to the Epic Store, be sure to check the system requirements just so you don’t fall short after downloading 20 gigs of the game.

Can you play Honkai: Star Rail on PC with a controller?
Fortunately, you can play Honkai: Star Rail on a PC with a controller. However, to do so, you’ll first need to complete the game’s tutorial. While we’re not sure why HoYoverse has kept this needless requirement, people who prefer controllers over keyboards won’t mind the hassle too much.
What’s great is that you can also change your key binds, regardless of whether you’re using a controller or a mouse-and-keyboard setup.
