How to Manually Update to Honkai Star Rail 2.7 on PC

Honkai Star Rail version 2.7 is now available, and with it comes a bunch of new content for players to explore, including two new playable characters, multiple events, and brand-new missions. As usual, players have to update Honkai Star Rail through the unified HoyoPlay launcher, but it’s still not as reliable for a lot of users. Here is how you can manually update to the Honkai: Star Rail version 2.7 on PC.

Manually Update to Honkai Star Rail 2.7

By manually downloading the patch files along with the voice packs, players don’t need to rely on HoyoPlay to update Honkai Star Rail to the latest version. These are the same patch files that the launcher uses while communicating with the miHoYo servers.

Note: This guide assumes that Honkai: Star Rail is currently at version 2.6 on your PC

Honkai Star Rail Patch Files

Download the following patch files for version 2.7 using a third-party download manager of your choice. It is highly recommended that you only download one file at a time to avoid corruption issues in the zip files.

• For this method to work, you need the Patch file, and at least one audio file pack.
• Make sure to download the audio pack corresponding to your Windows default language
  • If your Windows is in English, then the English pack is absolutely required

Download the files from the links below:

Step 1: Initiate the Update in the Launcher

First, make sure the launcher is updated. This happens automatically when you run the launcher. After updating the launcher, initiate the download for the new patch. After a few seconds, pause the update.

Step 2: Exit the Launcher

After you have paused the update, go ahead and exit the launcher. Make sure it isn’t running in the background either.

Step 3: Move Zip Files to Games Folder

Now, move the zip files to the Games folder where Honkai: Star Rail is installed on your PC. Replace any temporary files (uncomplete_tmp) while you move the files.

C:\Program Files\Star Rail\Games

Step 4: Resume the Launcher Download

Finally, run the launcher again and resume the download. The launcher will automatically detect the downloaded files.

That’s all you need to do, and Honkai: Stari Rail will be updated to version 2.7 on your PC. When you launch the game, some additional files may be downloaded, which is completely normal.
