Honkai Star Rail (HSR) 4.1 Maintenance End Time

Before the update is released, Honkai Star Rail servers will undergo a maintenance break of approximately 5 hours. The 4.1 maintenance will begin at 03:00 PM PST and end at 08:00 PM PST for NA servers on March 24, 2026. For the other servers, the maintenance will begin at 06:00 AM CST and end at 11:00 AM CST on March 25, 2026.

After the maintenance is over, the new Honkai Star Rail update will be live, and players can log in to enjoy the new Trailblazing mission. However, the servers will remain closed during the maintenance. After the maintenance is over, all players with Trailblaze Level 4 or above before the maintenance begins will receive 300 Stellar Jades as compensation.

Make sure to collect the compensation from the in-game mailbox after the update is live; it will expire at the end of the update.
