Honkai Star Railโs latest version is now available to pre-load on PC, and like Genshin Impact, the launcher isnโt reliable for a lot of users. Weโre unsure why this continues to be a problem in both titles, especially after so many updates. We have you covered though, and if you want to manually update to Honkai Star Rail 1.5, here is how you can easily do that.
Manually Update to Honkai Star Rail 1.5
Updating Honkai Star Rail is way easier than Genshin Impact, and you only need to download a single patch file. Keep in mind, that this is the same file the launcher would download, so itโs completely safe, and we donโt privately host files anywhere.
Please keep in mind that this guide assumes you are on version v1.4.
Required Downloads for 1.5
You only need to download this update patch file from the link below.
- Honkai Star Rail 1.5 Patch (8.14 GB)
Updating to 1.5
Once the download is complete, the actual updating process is fairly simple.
- Head over to where Honkai Star Rail is installed, itโs usually the following:
C:\Program Files\Star Rail
- Here, open the Games folder
- Now, place the zip file you downloaded in the Games folder
- Run the launcher, and it should be able to verify the file placed and pre-update the game accordingly.
- If you have done everything right, it will say โGame Pre-Installation Completedโ
Thatโs all you need to do to pre-install the latest update for Honkai Star Rail. Itโs also possible that your launcher will be updated during this process which is completely normal.
Important Things To Consider
- DONโT EXTRACT THE FILES. If you want to keep playing till update 1.5 is officially out.
- Youโll need to ensure that you donโt extract the files manually. If you extract the files, you wonโt be able to play till the update is live.
- After the patch goes live, you might have to download additional files in-game. This is normal.
- The files provided in this guide are being downloaded directly from MiHoYo servers. This means that these are entirely safe and from the developers themselves.
We hope this guide was helpful and you were able to manually update Honkai Star Rail 1.5. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below
Hi buddy, Just in time like usual, but I have a question, why just 8.14GB instead 11GB in launcher?
because they now split the audio files
Yes, Botan is right ๐ Please go ahead and download any voice packs in-game
mine is 11gb, why this one 8.14gb?
Those are likely voice packs being downloaded in-game ๐
Thank you as always, will you soon update the scratch as well?
Yes, going to do that now ๐
Iโve updated it for 1.5

Thanks a bunch
Hello, I installed it perfectly following the guide (just like Iโve updated my Genshin the same way several times following another tutorial on this site), but now I want to install the japanese voices (the default comes in english). Iโd like to do it manually as well. Is it possible? How should I do it? Should I start the installation from within the game, put the zip in the respective folder and reopen the game, or just download the zip and extract it into the game folder?
Hello!
Glad it worked for you. Here is the link for the Japanese voices
Place it in the Games folder as well, and the launcher should be able to verify it.
update 1.6 please
