How much does Honkai Star Rail cost on the PlayStation
5?
Honkai Star Rail is an entirely free-to-play game, but is supported by microtransactions. It will be free to download for all PlayStation 5 owners, and does not require a PlayStation Plus account for accessing its multiplayer features either.
However, the pre-order bundle for Star Rail is not free, and costs around $9.99. Players are required to purchase the bundle in order to obtain a set of pre-order benefits, but the base game still remains free.
