Honkai Star Rail allows you to build a team of strong characters using the gacha system, similar to HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact. One thing that keeps you hooked on the game is unlocking new characters and leveling them up.

But over a year after it first launched, how many people are still hooked on the game? Here’s the player count for Honkai Star Rail in August 2024.

Honkai Star Rail player count

Honkai Star Rail had 21,012,655 players between July and August, according to Activeplayer.io, with 5,673,417 players logging into the game daily on average. Keep in mind that these stats are across all platforms HSR is available on.

It’s also worth noting that this isn’t a player count tracked by the game, so it might not be fully accurate. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing the true player count number unless the devs release official numbers.

Honkai Star Rail’s turn-based combat is one of the biggest reasons behind its popularity.

The number is likely around this mark, especially as the game has had well over 30 million downloads. With Honkai Star Rail receiving new content through frequent updates from the developers, this number is expected to grow.

HSR has been putting out similar numbers since its release back in April 2023 and has cemented itself as a major competitor to other gacha titles like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves.

Here are the monthly player counts of Honkai Star Rail in the last few months:

  • August 2024: 21,012,655
  • July 2024: 20,420,462
  • June 2024: 21,194,045
  • May 2024: 20,646,902
  • April 2024: 21,779,432
  • March 2024: 21,022,618
  • February 2024: 21,038,090
  • January 2024: 22,680,379
  • December 2023: 22,103,478

We’ll have to see how the player count changes over time, but at the moment is easily one of the most popular gacha games out there, and definitely worth playing if you enjoy gacha titles like Zenless Zone Zero.
