HSR 3.5 release time and maintenance details

As an avid fan, I can’t contain my excitement as Trailblazer & Co. journey back in time before their fateful demise in the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail 3.5 update! After the shocking revelations in Version 3.4, we now have another opportunity to thwart The Destruction’s sinister plans for Amphoreus and finally expose the puppet master orchestrating this plot – none other than Lygus. This new adventure promises to be an unforgettable ride!

3.5 version of HSR is going to present Hysilens and Cerydra, two descendants of the esteemed Chrysos family, reintroduce a few old acquaintances, and showcase some daring comrades in fresh, new shapes.

Here are all the details on the Honkai: Star Rail update 3.5 start time and server downtime.

For every hour of server downtime you experience, we’ll reward you with 60 Stellar Jades. This means a total of 300 Jades could potentially be yours. If the maintenance lasts longer than anticipated or if there were issues in the previous version that impacted your gameplay, an additional 300 Stellar Jades will be available as compensation.

Be certain to review your in-game mail for your compensation within 30 days after the update, or else the currency will expire.

HSR 3.5 – preload

The pre-download for Honkai: Star Rail update 3.5 has been made accessible across PC, iOS, Android, and PS5 platforms – this means that a significant portion of the game’s files can be downloaded in advance. As a result, when update 3.5 goes live, you’ll be able to jump back into the action much more swiftly because most of the necessary updates will already be installed on your device.

HSR 3.5 – download size

In HoYoverse games, the update file sizes can change based on your device and the language options you’ve selected.

(Note: This is a paraphrased response to provide more natural and easy-to-read language.)

PC: 5 to 7 GB
Mobile: 2 to 3 GB
PS5: 20 to 22 GB

To ensure a smooth update process for your game, it’s wise to keep some extra, unused space on your device that exceeds the app’s download size. The game may require temporary additional free storage to unravel all its data prior to installing the update.
