Honkai Star Rail 2.6 preload size for Android, iOS, PC, and PlayStation
HoYoverse has officially rolled out a preload feature for the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 update, scheduled to be released on October 23, 2024. Trailblazers can now download the patch files ahead of the global launch so that they can access the upcoming content as soon as it drops. However, a new update can consume quite a bit of space on any device, so players will likely want to know the pre-download size and total storage requirement.
This article outlines the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 preload size for all platforms.
Honkai Star Rail 2.6 preload size for all platforms
The Honkai Star Rail 2.6 preload feature has been made available as of October 21, 2024, across PC, PlayStation, Android, and iOS platforms. Here are the downloadable file sizes for the different platforms:
- PC: 15 GB (approx.)
- Android and iOS: 1.7 GB (approx.)
- PlayStation: 20.3 GB (approx.)
The preload resource files will decompress upon installation on PC, Android, and iOS devices. In addition, the total file size will vary if you have installed the voice-over expansion packages for different languages. As such, the total storage requirement on the PC will be roughly 33 GB.
After the file integration process ends, patch 2.6 will require around 12.2 GB on mobile devices. In case any resources fail to integrate during installation, the missing files will be downloaded accordingly. So, Trailblazers are advised to keep ample storage space to ensure a steady implementation of the update.
That said, the preload options for the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 update are available on the respective launchers. On PC, you need to launch HoYoPlay to find the Pre-Install icon beside the Start button. For Android and iOS devices, boot up HSR and click on the Pre-Download Resource from the login page.
The preload process on PlayStation is quite straightforward. All you have to do is launch the game to automatically download the resource files, provided your console has the required storage space.
For those out of the loop, the upcoming Honkai Star Rail update is set to introduce a plethora of content, including multiple rerun banners, fresh events, and more. The highlight of patch 2.6 is certainly Rappa’s debut as a playable 5-star unit. She hails from the Erudition Path, wielding the Imaginary element, to take on the role of a DPS for Break teams.
