Honkai Star Rail (HSR) 4.0 Maintenance End Time

Honkai Star Rail servers will undergo a maintenance break before the update goes live. The HSR 4.0 maintenance will start at 03:00 PM PST for NA servers on February 12, 2026, and at 06:00 AM CST on February 13, 2026, for the rest of the world. The maintenance is expected to last approximately 5 hours, after which the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 will be released.

The servers will remain closed during the maintenance break, which means players won’t be able to log into their accounts. Also, all logged-in players will be forcefully kicked out when the maintenance begins. For compensation, every Honkai Star Rail player with Trailblaze Level 4 or above before the maintenance begins will receive 300 Stellar Jades.

This compensation can be claimed from the in-game mail box after the update has been released. Make sure to claim the Stellar Jades before the version ends, or you will lose them forever.
