While Honkai: Star Rail has been released on plenty of platforms, fans are wondering if the game is available on the ever-popular Switch. Since Honkai Impact 3rd is available on Steam Deck, fans are eager to know if the latest Honkai entry would be playable on a similar console, like the Switch.

If you’re a Nintendo fan who owns a Nintendo Switch but doesn’t know if you can enjoy Honkai Star Rail on it, dive into our article as we answer all your queries!

Can You Play Honkai: Star Rail On Switch

Unfortunately, Honkai: Star Rail hasn’t been released on the Nintendo Switch, and the developers, HoYoverse, haven’t confirmed any sort of release date for the Switch as well. The only confirmed platforms for Honkai: Star Rail have been Mobile, PC, and PlayStation 4 and 5. 

In a 2022 interview with GoNintendo, HoYoverse confirmed that they will be releasing a version of Genshin Impact for the Nintendo Switch. This was originally released for PC and PlayStation.

While this doesn’t guarantee that Honkai Star Rail will be released on the Switch, it does suggest that the developers are open to releasing their games on Nintendo consoles.

Will Honkai: Star Rail Ever Come On Switch?

Since Honkai: Star Rail will require more processing power, it is unlikely that the game will be released for the Nintendo Switch, as we’re not sure if the console will be able to satisfy those same graphic processing demands. 

While these are just calculated speculations, there’s no need to get demotivated. There is a chance that Honkai: Star Rails could be released on the Nintendo Switch in the future.

This speculation not only comes from the fact that HoYoverse is currently working on releasing Genshin Impact on the Switch but also because Honkai: Impact 3rd was released for the Steam Deck. 

Although the Steam Deck is a slightly more powerful than the Nintendo Switch, Honkai: Impact 3rd’s release on the Deck shows that the franchise can be played on these hand-held consoles.

While there’s no official confirmation of this at the moment, it’s certainly something for fans of the game to keep an eye on in the coming months.
