The Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream for May 26 was delayed, but HoYoverse has confirmed a new start time.

The first ever Honkai Star Rail livestream is almost here, with HoYoverse set to reveal more about version 1.1 this weekend.

The Star Rail 1.1 Special Program will be the first stream since Honkai: Star Rail launched last month. And while details on the Galactic Roaming update are thin on the ground, judging by HoYoverse's equivalent streams for Genshin Impact, we should find out more about the new events, story content and the next Character Warps. Plus, as with most HoYoverse streams, we can expect to see a few free Star Rail redemption codes too.

If you can't wait for the Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream, we've rounded up everything you need to know. We've got details on the start time and how you can watch the stream live online.

Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream date and time

The Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream is taking place at 4.30am BST on Saturday 27 May 2023 for fans in the UK.

If you're based in another time zone though you may see it the day before. Here's when the Galactic Roaming stream will start for different regions:

  • US (West Coast): 8.30pm PDT
  • US (East Coast): 11.30pm EDT

May 27

  • UK: 4.30am BST
  • Europe: 5.30am CEST
  • Japan: 12.30pm JST

The times listed above are the rescheduled start times for the Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream. It was originally scheduled to take place at 12.30pm BST on Friday 26 May 2023 however just before it was due to air the broadcast was cancelled in most regions.

This was due to "technical issues" but the stream still happened in HoYoverse's native China. As compensation to those hit by the delay a new redemption code will be released during the broadcast which offers 100 Stellar Jade.

How to watch Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream

The Honkai Star Rail 1.1 broadcast will be streamed live on the Honkai Star Rail Twitch channel and the official Honkai Star Rail YouTube.

This is slightly different to how HoYoverse streams Genshin Impact Special Programs, which are streamed live first on Twitch - with a replay available on YouTube later.

What to expect from the Honkai Star Rail 1.1 livestream

Announcing the first ever Honkai Star Rail stream, HoYoverse said the broadcast would reveal "the latest information and benefits in version 1.1".

If you've reached the end of the current content in Honkai: Star Rail, you'll know we've been left at a bit of a story cliffhanger! In version 1.1, we'll likely be diving into what fees like an exciting conclusion on the Xinzhou Luofu.

There's also character and light cone warps, which will introduce some sick new playable trailblazers for us to mess around with. Who these will be remains a mystery, but the community is fiending for Silver Wolf and Kafka so fingers crossed we get them soon.

We also got our first in-game limited event at the tail end of of version 1.0, which was a PvE comabt challenge. these sorts of events are a regular occurance in Hoyoverse's other titles, so you can expect to see more news of those during the livestream.
