Honkai: Star Rail’s system requirements for PC and mobile devices are, luckily, not too demanding, which allows many different setups to run developer HoYoverse’s new turn-based RPG. The game has gone through multiple beta tests and is now on track to its official release, allowing all players to experience the free-to-play title across various platforms. They will be able to play through its official launcher on PC, Epic Games, Android, and iOS.
The game follows the isekai-like adventures of the main character, known simply as the Trailblazer, along with many other characters in Honkai: Star Rail. They all travel together on the Astral Express train to reach various planets across the universe and help resolve the main issues each location faces. The system requirements to run Honkai: Star Rail on PC and mobile devices vary depending on the platform, but players with moderate setups should be able to play it without any issues.
System Requirements For Honkai: Star Rail On PC
Honkai: Star Rail’s system requirements for PC are not too demanding, and a few older setups may be able to run it smoothly. According to the specifications listed on Epic Games Store, the game does not require much beyond a medium-range processor and RAM memory.
The private document HoYoverse sent to beta testers shows, however, that it is not a game that works on any PC due to the fact that it requires a graphics card. The positive side is that the minimum requirements show it can operate on most setups.
