The process of downloading and installing the Honkai Star Rail version 1.2 update is relatively simple; for Android and iOS players, the update will roll out in their respective platform stores. The Trailblazers on iOS will have to visit the Apple Store, and players on Android may go to Google Play Store, where they can download the new update.

Those who are playing the game on PC will need to open the Star Rail launcher. Then they need to click the update button on the bottom right part of the launcher.

Once the download and installation process are complete, you can play the game after the version 1.2 maintenance is over.

The version 1.2 update will release along with Blade and his signature Light Cone banner. The 1.1 update was quite big, so it was expected to be similar as it includes many game improvements, customizations, and new content, with some events that reward players in-game items such as Trace and EXP materials and Stellar Jades.

The version 1.2 update will be available on PC and mobile platforms. On PC, the update size is around 11.10 GB, which can be downloaded via Honkai Star Rail's game launcher, and on handheld Android and iOS devices, the file size is nearly 5.3 GB.

It is also notable that the game can be updated now from the respective launchers and stores but is not playable as it is only a pre-download file. So players must wait for the server maintenance, scheduled for July 19 at 06:00 (UTC +8). HoYovese also stated that the game's official servers would temporarily shut down and go under maintenance for five hours, and the time could be extended. You will be compensated reasonably if it extends.
