Best Buy started taking pre-orders for a Honkai: Star Rail Trailblazer Edition physical copy, ahead of the PS5 game’s apparent March 31, 2025 retail release. It will cost $39.99 and include both in-game and real-world bonuses in addition to the copy of the game on a disc. So far, no other retailers have shared product listings for the game just yet.
The product listing doesn’t note how much of the game is available on the disc. For example, we don’t know if it only includes the 1.0 base game and all patches bringing it up to date would need to be downloaded as an update or if it will be up-to-date with a more recent version like 2.0. However, the announcement did give an idea of what kinds of items will be included.
In terms of physical items, there are five of them. You get the Honkai: Star Rail Trailblazer Edition physical copy, which includes a box and copy of the game on a PS5 disc, to start. There is also a PS5 postcard. Two holographic keychains are included. The teaser art offered a hint as to how those will look. One features Stelle with a Herta Space Station Wubbaboo and Astral Express conductor Pom-Pom. The other pairs Caelus with the Wubbaboo. (Due to the positioning on the art, it isn’t possible to tell if Pom-Pom is with him as well.) The final physical bonus is a set of character cards. Only one is shown in the image, and it features the 2.0 Penacony character Acheron.
Here are the official photos of the box art and bonus items from the Best Buy product page:
As for the digital bonus, the product listing and art only references a “Game Redemption Code.” The description for it noted “exclusive items.” It is unknown if this means some sort of cosmetics or perhaps items and Stellar Jades.
Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices digitally now. The 2.5 update debuted on September 10, 2024, adding Feixiao as a playable character once it arrived. The Honkai: Star Rail Trailblazer Edition physical copy will apparently be at retail stores on March 31, 2025.
