Free-to-Play ‘Honkai Star Rail’ is getting a physical disc release
Following the overwhelming success of Genshin Impact, the team at MiHoYo managed to catch lightning in a bottle twice with their follow-up Honkai Star Rail – surpassing over 100 million players in just 10 months. In a move rarely seen by free-to-play games, Honkai Star Rail is set to get a physical disc release.
As can be seen on the retailer BestBuy’s website, a physical PS5 version of Honkai Star Rail (known as the Trailblazer Edition) is set to release at some point in the unknown future.
While it is incredibly rare to see a free-to-play game have a physical release, Honkai Star Rail appears to be doing it correctly – unlike Fortnite’s empty boxes – with the $40 package including:
A set of 9 gilded holographic character cards
Two PS5 holographic Chibi Trailblazer keychains
PS5 physical game disk and disk cover
PS5 postcard
PS5 game redemption code with ‘Exclusive Items Included’
Given how quickly HoYoVerse have blown up in popularity over a few short years, it perhaps makes sense that the publisher/developer would want to be legitimised through old-school means such as releasing physical copies of their games.
