Honkai Star Rail anniversary to be celebrated with spending event featuring in-game spending rewards — insider

Honkai Star Rail will soon celebrate its anniversary. Players are gearing up for a massive celebration.

In April 2025, Honkai Star Rail marks another anniversary. The insider community has become active, and reports have begun surfacing about how the occasion might be celebrated.

If Sakura’s information is correct, miHoYo (HoYoverse) will draw on the experience of another one of its games — Honkai Impact 3rd — and introduce a so-called “spending event” in HSR.

The “Honkai: Star Rail | Mirya” community explained the concept behind this event:

“You spend PAID gems on pulls — you get points and use them to purchase items in the shop

In HSR, they will hand out minor commemorative cosmetic trinkets [for reaching a certain spending tier].”

Another fan community, “HoYoverse | Honkai: Star Rail”, recapped what is expected for the Honkai Star Rail anniversary in 2025 (listing gifts + events + potential new features):

“20 pulls in the login event; 1,600 jades and 10 fuel cans; gacha drop animations; new 50/50 system in the event banner; shop for this system with characters and light cones; artbook contest; various discounts / bonuses / new top-up packs / 2x bonus reset; spending event.”
