The details for Honkai: Star Rail’s storage size are here, so let’s go over everything you need to know.

If you’re looking to pre-load Honkai Star Rail, you’re first going to want to know how much storage you’re actually going to need. Like Genshin Impact, the game isn’t that large to actually install on your PC. Most PCs are going to have enough storage space to run the game, so you won’t have to worry if your 500GB SSD is enough. If it’s not, you might want to check out the best external hard drives for your PS5.

Now that the pre-load has officially begun, we also know exactly how much space it’s going to take up on your hard drive.

What is the Honkai: Star Rail storage size in GBs?

However, from the final closed beta, we know that the system requirements for the game labelled the required storage as 15GB. Furthermore, now that the pre-load has begun, we know that there is a 10.12GB download size for the game.

After we downloaded and installed, it took up a total of 11.5GB on our hard drive. We imagine that the installation and unpacking also included extra file-space to be taken up.

We can expect the final game to have a similar storage size, though for now we’re not going to state that it’s downright going to be this number. After all, games are likely to change in size and space with each now update and bug fix that developers implement leading up to launches.
