Honkai Star Rail 2.3 update countdown

The Honkai Star Rail 2.3 release is next on the itinerary, and it will bring forth a fresh batch of content, including the Divergent Universe DLC, Apocalyptic Shadow game mode, and new banners. With the update on the horizon, HoYoverse has further announced the official schedule for the maintenance break. This is a mandatory occasion that precedes every global launch, during which the officials will shut down the servers five hours before the update.

Trailblazers will receive compensation of 600 Stellar Jades for the inconvenience caused. That said, players might want to track the upcoming update to jump right into the game when the servers go live. Hence, this article discusses the Honkai Star Rail 2.3 release and presents a countdown that shows the remaining time.
