Honkai: Star Rail Not Coming to XBOX or Nintendo Switch 2 Anytime Soon

Honkai: Star Rail fans on XBOX and Nintendo Switch platforms face a lengthy wait for a potential launch, with the lead game designer confirming there are no updates to share currently.

Released in April 2023 on PC and mobile, a PlayStation 5 launch followed later that year, but there are no updates on a potential arrival on XBOX Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.

That’s despite Genshin Impact launching on XBOX in 2024, while HoYoverse’s upcoming life-sim title Petit Planet is confirmed to be launching on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, and Zenless Zone Zero also joined the XBOX roster in 2026.

Honkai: Star Rail, however, is unlikely to be added to any additional platforms in the near future, as while lead game designer Chengen An confirmed there is always an ambition to bring the game to more players, there’s no specific news at this time.

“We always want to reach a larger group of players, and we’re always looking into development for different platforms,” he told assembled media in Seoul, including Prima Games.

“There are always pros and cons, like device performance and how profitable it could be, so we always make a comprehensive decision based on the gameplay experience, controls, and technologies.

“So far, we don’t have much to share at this point, but please stay tuned to our official announcements.”
