Can you play Honkai: Star Rail even if you’re offline?
To answer the question initially stated in this article, “Is there any chance that I can play Honkai: Star Rail while offline?”, unfortunately, the answer to that would be NO. Just like other games in the HoYoverse such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail would be a completely online game, which basically means you can’t play the game offline.
Almost every mobile and PC co-op game nowadays requires an internet connection to play. Well, Honkai: Star Rail is no different. Moreover, without a stable internet connection, you wouldn’t even able be to start the game’s launcher, let alone join the servers. Although Honkai: Star Rail is a single-player game, it requires live service. So no you can’t play the game in offline mode at all as everything must go through their server for validation.
