Honkai: Star Rail Surpasses 20 Million Downloads Ahead of PS5, PS4 Launch | Push Square
How big is Honkai: Star Rail? Unfathomably big – and it’s not even out on PS5 and PS4 yet. HoYoverse, the Chinese juggernaut also behind Genshin Impact, has confirmed that the free-to-play turnbased RPG has surpassed 20 million downloads just a day after its release on PC and smartphones. The number is double the amount of pre-registrations it had accrued prior to launch.

Obviously this is a staggering success for the studio, which basically has a license to print money at this point. We still don’t know when the PlayStation versions will arrive, but the team says they’re in development and we wouldn’t expect them to take too long. Once the ports do eventually deploy, expect them to see similar success on Sony’s systems as well.

Amazing stuff. I had pre-registered, but I'll wait for the PS5 version. And then I'll lie to myself about having time to play this.
You have to give credit to Sony here — They got in to China and started building those relationships right at the start with China Hero. I don't know that HoYoverse were a part of that, but there's clearly a solid partnership building there regardless.
I'm gonna have to give this game a go when it comes to PS5. A live service turn-based RPG sounds far too good to miss out on.
Free to play. I’ll pass.
Yeah quite excited to play this as i loved Genshin even if i stopped playing it a while back.
@AgentGuapo Despite being free-to-play, it's honestly on par with a lot of full-priced JRPG style games. Obviously there is the gacha aspect, though.
