Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Livestream Time Details Announced for All Regions

The broadcast details for the upcoming Honkai Star Rail Version 4.0 special program have been officially shared by HoYoverse, and this announcement brings an end to weeks of speculations for Trailblazers. The program was confirmed by developers through their official social media channels, and players from different regions can look forward to the announcement at different times.

Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Livestream Schedule

According to the announcement, the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Livestream Schedule has been arranged for February 6, 2026. The schedule will begin at 7:30 PM China Standard Time (UTC+8). Just like in previous special events, the livestream will commence at the same time globally, despite the difference in time zones.

Broadcast timing across different regions

The broadcast is in sync worldwide; the viewing hours will vary depending on the region. In North America, the broadcast takes place very early in the morning. Pacific Time players need to be tuned in at 3:30 AM, Mountain Time at 4:30 AM, Central Time at 5:30 AM, and Eastern Time at 6:30 AM. This is about the same as previous major updates, especially those that introduced new storylines or regions.

European players will be able to view the livestream closer to noon. The broadcast takes place at 11:30 AM for Western European Time, 12:30 PM for Central European Time, and 1:30 PM for Eastern European Time. Compared to other regions, Europe gets a relatively convenient viewing schedule, which is why there is usually more live engagement.

Asian regions will get the livestream later in the day. Indian players can tune in at 5:00 PM IST. In China and the Philippines, the broadcast takes place at 7:30 PM local time, while Japanese players get it at 8:30 PM JST.

Countdown details and streaming platforms

HoYoverse has also released a universal countdown for the live stream. At the time of the announcement, the countdown indicated slightly under four days until the live stream began.

Players can tune in to the Honkai Star Rail Version 4.0 special program live on the game’s official YouTube, Twitch, and X channels. Unlike some of the previous live streams, which included regular hosts, this live stream is expected to be conducted by the development team itself. Since Planarcadia will be introduced during the live stream, the format of the presentation is likely to be more developer-centric.

Fans who participated in the Honkai Star Rail Treasure Hunt Event will also be eager to see the upcoming rewards and new content revealed during the stream.

Redeem codes and in-game rewards

As seen in the previous version livestreams, HoYoverse will be handing out three limited redeem codes throughout the event. These redeem codes contain in-game items, and the most sought-after prize is the Stellar Jade. For Version 4.0, players can expect a maximum of 300 Stellar Jade when all redeem codes are redeemed before they expire.

Version 4.0 livestream expectations

The Honkai Star Rail 4.0 livestream schedule also provides insight into how HoYoverse intends to deliver this update. Planarcadia seems to be a significant change in the narrative and gameplay, much like previous regions did to combat and narrative progression.

Alongside new quests and regions, the introduction of the Honkai Star Rail Planarcadia new characters is highly anticipated, promising unique skills and interactions that will enhance both combat and exploration experiences for players.
