HSR 3.4 is set to reveal the full truth behind the nature of Amphoreus and the man known as Phainon, connecting the events of this mysterious world with what’s happening outside of it — on top of making Phainon a playable character, of course. He’ll be available on the HSR 3.4 banners right from the start of the update, while the other long-awaited part of this patch – the collaboration with Fate UBW – is set to begin on July 11, 2025.
Here are all the details on the Honkai: Star Rail update 3.4 start time and server downtime.
HSR 3.4 – server downtime
The HSR servers are scheduled to go offline on July 2, 2025, at 6am (UTC+8) in preparation for update 3.4. Here’s what that means for your timezone:
- July 1, 3pm PDT
- July 1, 5pm CDT
- July 1, 6pm EDT
- July 1, 7pm BRT
- July 1, 11pm BST
- July 2, 12am CEST
- July 2, 3:30am IST
- July 2, 6am CST
- July 2, 7am KST/JST
- July 2, 8am AEST
- July 2, 10am NZST
The Honkai: Star Rail servers are estimated to be offline for a duration of five hours, after which players will be able to log in once again and start exploring the content of version 3.4.
HSR 3.4 – release time
HoYoverse doesn’t usually need any more time than the scheduled five hours, so here’s when Honkai: Star Rail update 3.4 should be available in your timezone if all goes according to plan:
- July 1, 8pm PDT
- July 1, 10pm CDT
- July 1, 11pm EDT
- July 2, 12am BRT
- July 2, 4am BST
- July 2, 5am CEST
- July 2, 8:30am IST
- July 2, 11am CST
- July 2, 12pm KST/JST
- July 2, 1pm AEST
- July 2, 3pm NZST
Each hour of server downtime will be compensated with 60 Stellar Jades, so expect 300 Jades overall to come your way. In case maintenance takes any longer than planned there were bugs in the previous version that affected the player experience, another 300 Stellar Jades will be up for grabs.
Make sure to check your in-game mail and claim your compensation inside a timeframe of 30 days following the update — otherwise the currency will be lost.
HSR 3.4 – preload
The preload for Honkai: Star Rail update 3.4 on PC, iOS, Android, and PS5 is already available — this will allow you to download a majority of the files needed to update the game well ahead of time, enabling you to dive back into the action much more quickly when update 3.4 is live.
Please note that the resources for the Fate UBW collaboration will not be included in this data package. The collaboration content will be delivered in a separate update that will be available for preload starting on July 8, 2025.
HSR 3.4 – download size
The download size for updates in HoYoverse games varies depending on the device you play on as well as the language packages you have installed, but here’s how large the files should be on average for Honkai: Star Rail version 3.4:
- PC: 5 to 6 GB
- Mobile: 2 to 3 GB
- PS5: 21 to 22 GB
Always make sure to have extra space on your device beyond the sheer download size, as the game will temporarily need some additional free storage to unpack all the data before installing the update.
