Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 is rolling out today, bringing Pearl into the playable roster and pushing the Planarcadia storyline further into its clash between Voracity and Elation. HoYoverse scheduled roughly five hours of maintenance before the update, with players at Trailblaze Level 4 or above receiving 300 Stellar Jades as compensation. The mobile pre-install weighed approximately 2.
21GB on Android and iOS, which is practically restrained by modern live-service standards; somewhere, a 30GB update is looking embarrassed. Pearl is the headline addition, joined in the version's banner cycle by Evanescia and Mortenax Blade. What remains remarkable about Star Rail is how little distinction now exists between its mobile and PC identities.
This is a full-scale RPG receiving cinematic story chapters, elaborate character launches and multi-platform updates simultaneously, not a compromised phone edition parked behind the grown-up version. For mobile players, however, the increasingly console-sized production values also mean storage management has quietly become part of the metagame. The Astral Express may travel between worlds, but apparently it cannot travel without several gigabytes of free space.
