HSR 4.7 Release Date and Time (November 2026) Countdown & Banners

Honkai: Star Rail 4.7, “Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars,” is the finale the Planarcadia storyline has been building toward — and HoYoverse is going big with Aeon ★ Aha, the first playable Aeon in the game’s history. The HSR 4.7 release date is November 11, 2026 for most of the world and the evening of November 10 for the Americas. I’ve packed this guide with the exact launch time for every region, the maintenance schedule, every banner, the free 5-star selector, and my quick prep checklist so you can jump straight into the party the moment servers open.

Beyond Nen: HSR 4.7 Release Date and Time

Servers went down for maintenance at 6:00 AM (UTC+8) on November 11, and the update is expected to go live about five hours later. Here’s the HSR 4.7 release time in your region:

And the quick facts, if you’re in a hurry:

HSR 4.7 Maintenance Schedule and Compensation

Maintenance began at 6:00 AM (UTC+8) on November 11, and HoYoverse estimates roughly five hours of downtime, so play should resume around 11:00 AM (UTC+8) — that’s the local time listed in the table above. Servers occasionally come back early, but I wouldn’t plan your lunch break around it.

If you were Trailblaze Level 4 or higher before maintenance started, you’ll receive 300 Stellar Jade via in-game mail within five hours of the update finishing. Claim it before Version 4.7 ends, because compensation mail expires with the patch. That’s enough for two pulls on the brand-new banner, so don’t let it rot in your inbox.

How to Pre-Download HSR 4.7?

Pre-installation opened on November 9 at 2:00 PM (UTC+8), so most of the update is probably already sitting on your device:

• PC (5.66 GB): open HoYoPlay and click the Game Pre-Installation icon — you can keep playing while it downloads.
• Mobile (2.98 GB): tap Resource Pre-Download on the login screen. You can’t play while it installs.
• PlayStation: the patch pre-installs automatically after you launch the game, provided you have enough free storage.

You’ll still need a short client update once maintenance wraps, especially on mobile, so keep Wi-Fi handy for launch morning.

HSR 4.7 Banners: Aeon Aha and All Reruns

Version 4.7 runs seven banners in total, headlined by Nihilux — officially revealed as Aeon ★ Aha, the Aeon of Elation. Aha is a 5-star Quantum character on the Elation path and the first Aeon ever made playable. Aha’s Event Warp runs the entire patch, from launch until December 22 at 3:00 PM (server time), paired with the signature light cone Upon the First Echo of Aha and 4-stars Asta, Lynx, and Yukong.

Here’s the full schedule:

Phase 1’s reruns are all Elation-path units — Silver Wolf LV.999 (Imaginary), Sparxie (Fire), and Yao Guang (Physical) — while phase 2 brings the signature light cones Along the Passing Shore, Brighter Than the Sun, and Before Dawn. Because Aha’s banner never rotates, my pull advice is simple: if you’re torn between Aha and the reruns, test phase 1 first and bank the rest for Aha before December 22.

What’s New in HSR 4.7?

This update closes the Planarcadia arc, and the freebies are unusually generous:

• Affinitive Eidolon: Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan receive a new buff system, and every player can claim one Affinitive Eidolon for free.
• Free limited 5-star: pick one of Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, or Jing Yuan until December 23 at 5:59 AM (UTC+8) — the other two unlock through the top-up bonus event.
• Events: The Fluffy Movie: Overheated, Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame, Grab Your Opening Gifts, Myriad Symphony, plus Planar Fissure from November 23 and Realm of the Strange from December 11.
• Relic Recon: play any content across the patch to earn relics and roll a strong custom set for a character of your choice.
• Rewards: the official preview lists around 5,700 Stellar Jade from events and 20 Star Rail Special Passes from check-in.
• Extras: Asat Pramad’s Gift to customize a max-level 5★ relic, a Golden Companion Spirit, the Yellow-Purple outfit, and the Elation Proxy headwear.
• New endgame: Echo of War “Moon of Indulgence” opens November 16, and Divergent Universe “Dramatis Personae” adds two new Planar Ornament sets to farm.

How to Prepare for the HSR 4.7 Update?

1. Pre-download the patch now (sizes and steps above).
2. Spend or bank your Trailblaze Power before 6:00 AM (UTC+8) — the new battle pass and Echo of War give you fresh materials to farm.
3. Claim the 300 Stellar Jade mail the moment servers are back.
4. Grab your free 5-star selector and Affinitive Eidolon early, then start Relic Recon, since it rewards steady play all patch long.

FAQs

What time does HSR 4.7 maintenance end?

Maintenance runs about five hours from 6:00 AM (UTC+8) on November 11, so servers should open around 11:00 AM (UTC+8) — that’s 10:00 PM EST / 7:00 PM PST on November 10 in the Americas. Downtime sometimes ends early, never later than HoYoverse’s estimate.

Who is the new character in HSR 4.7?

Aeon ★ Aha, the Aeon of Elation — the first playable Aeon in Honkai: Star Rail. Aha is a 5-star Quantum character on the Elation path and stays on banner for the entire version.

When do HSR 4.7 banners end?

Aha and the phase 2 reruns end on December 22 at 3:00 PM (server time); the phase 1 reruns end earlier, on December 2 at 11:59 AM.

How do I get the free 5-star in HSR 4.7?

Choose one of Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, or Jing Yuan before December 23 at 5:59 AM (UTC+8). The other two can be obtained through the top-up bonus event during the patch.

Why can’t I log in during the HSR 4.7 update?

Servers are offline for the roughly five-hour maintenance window. If you still can’t connect after it ends, fully update your client and restart the game before reinstalling anything.
