AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Honkai Star Rail version 4.5 arrives with a summer vacation theme in Astropolis, featuring new seasonal character variants, a racing event, and standard maintenance schedules.
Get your Stellar Jade ready because Honkai Star Rail is heading to the brand new destination of Astropolis for version 4.5, titled To Roll the Stars in Astropolis. According to reporting from Polygon, the update shifts gears into a summer vacation theme, featuring seasonal variants of familiar faces from Penacony. Players can look forward to pulling for Aventurine Waveflair as a Quantum Nihility unit and Robin Sumeretto as a Wind Remembrance character, alongside banner reruns for Hyacine and Ashveil.
Server downtime is scheduled to begin globally on Tuesday, August 25, or Wednesday, August 26, depending on your region. Maintenance kicks off at 3 p.m. PDT on the west coast of North America and 11 p.m. BST in the U.K., lasting for the standard five hours. Hoyoverse typically sticks closely to this timeline, though servers occasionally open their doors a little early if backend deployment goes smoothly.
Once the update goes live around 8 p.m. PDT on Tuesday for North American players, the fresh patch brings a brand new battle pass and a flagship racing event packed with upgrade materials. If you are planning your resource grind, remember to time your fuel usage so you can immediately dive into farming the new materials for your fresh roster additions.
