So you’re diving into the cosmic universe of Honkai: Star Rail, zooming through the stars, and having a blast. But maybe your friends are on another server, or you’re traveling and getting crazy lag. Whatever the reason, you want to change your server region. Good news — it’s simple! This guide will walk you through it step by step.
First things first: each server is like a different galaxy. That means your account progress doesn’t jump between them. If you switch, you’ll need to start a new game in that region. But hey, sometimes a fresh start is fun!
🌍 What Are the Server Options?
In Honkai: Star Rail, there are a few main server regions you can choose from:
- America
- Europe
- Asia
- TW, HK, MO (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau)
The best choice? Usually the one closest to where you live or where your pals are playing.
🛠️ How to Change Your Server Region
Changing server regions in the game is super easy, and here’s how you do it:
- Open the game and let it load to the login screen.
- Before hitting “Start Game,” look at the bottom of the screen.
- You’ll see a drop-down menu or button showing the current server (like “America”).
- Click that button.
- A list of all available servers will pop up. Select the one you want.
- Now go ahead and start the game! It’ll create a new account in that region.
Yep, it’s that easy. No need to uninstall or mess around with any settings.
📦 What Happens to Your Progress?
Remember, server regions don’t share account data. That means:
- Your characters, items, and progress on Server A won’t exist on Server B.
- If you switch, it’s like starting fresh from the very beginning.
- You can switch back any time to your old server! Your old progress will still be there.
Pro tip: Use different servers to try out new teams or reroll without losing your main game!
📡 Why Switch Servers?
Still on the fence about changing regions? Here are a few fun reasons to do it:
- Less lag: Closer servers = smoother gameplay!
- Play with friends: Join pals who are in a different region.
- Language: Some servers have default languages which might suit you better.
- Event timings: Check out how regional calendars affect in-game events!
🕹️ Can I Use the Same Email?
Yes! You can use the same email login across all servers. Your email is tied to your miHoYo or HoYoverse account, which stores different progress data per region.
So there’s no need to create new emails every time you switch servers. Just log in normally, pick your region, and boom—you’re in.
🧠 Any Downsides?
Just a couple:
- Separate progress — you’ll need to grind again from Level 1.
- Event timing differences — some events might start earlier or later depending on the server.
But hey, that’s a small price to pay if your friends are waiting or your ping is through the roof!
🎉 Final Thoughts
Changing your Honkai: Star Rail server region is super quick and pain-free. Whether you’re following friends, testing builds, or just getting a new adventure started, it’s always just a few taps away.
Now go out there and ride the Astral Express once more—wherever you are in the world!
