Honkai Star Rail: How to link your account to PS5
HoYoverseHonkai Star Rail released on the PlayStation 5 with the 1.4 update and linking your corresponding accounts is one of the first things to do to get things going. Here’s how to link your Honkai Star Rail account to the PS5, based on whether you’ve played Genshin Impact before.
Honkai Star Rail is now playable on PlayStation 5 as well and the gacha title by HoYoverse has gained a ton of new players since version 1.4. However, it is important to note that the game was available on PC and mobile with controller support for several months before the PS5 launch.
On top of this, there are plenty of Genshin Impact players on the PlayStation 5 and the reputed open-world RPG also requires a HoYoverse account. As a result, it can be complex for players to get started with HSR on PS5, based on whether they’ve played Genshin Impact previously or have switched to the PS5 after playing the title on PC and mobile.
In any case, here’s how to link your Honkai Star Rail account to the PS5.
