After the recent conclusion of the official livestream, Honkai Star Rail is heading to its version 1.5 update, which features Huohuo and Argent as the playable 5-star characters. Although HoYoverse is yet to announce the exact release date for the patch, it is expected to commence on November 15, 2023, aligning with the current banner duration.
That said, the officials will soon roll out the server downtime schedule for the major update. The five-hour maintenance break allows the developers to prepare for the patch, ensuring everything is in place before the global launch.
Further details about the Honkai Star Rail 1.5 release have been presented in this article. We have also included a universal countdown timer to actively track the update.
The upcoming v1.5 update will kick off across all servers on November 15, 2023, at 11 AM (UTC+8), introducing Huohuo’s banner in the first phase. Unlike version 1.4, which was available for five weeks, the next patch will follow the 42-day warp cycle.
Since the update goes live on all servers simultaneously, its timing will differ depending on the player's location. Hence, the table below compiles the airtime across some of the major time zones for the reader’s convenience.
It is worth noting that patch 1.5 launches in America on November 14, 2023, due to timezone differences.

Mountain Standard Time | 8 pm |

Refer to the countdown below to track the time remaining until the release of the Honkai Star Rail 1.5 update. HoYoverse usually maintains its schedule to the date, which ensures that the patch should be available at the specified time. Besides, the timer does not account for any future delays.
Once the countdown ends, the update should be available across PC, PS5, Android, and iOS devices. Make sure to pre-download the patch to quickly hop into the game once the servers are live.
