The new update 1.1 has improvedHonkai: Star Railin several ways, and some players have noticed that one of them is not present in the patch notes: it’s now possible to run without delay when switching characters. Ever since its release,Honkai: Star Railhad several quality-of-life changes when compared toGenshin Impact, such asditching a constant companion like Paimon, and it seems that the devs continue the hard work to make it play even better.
Soon after its launch,Honkai: Star Railwas already a major success. The game was downloaded over 20 million times in a single day, and it managed to retain its popularity as it entered its second month of existence. While part of the reason for the astounding success was having its name attached to such a well-known property likeGenshin Impact, HoYoverse is also offering a very smooth experience to players, and the new patch focuses on improving this aspect.

Now, gamers discovered a new quality-of-life change inHonkai: Star Rail, which was not originally disclosed in the patch notes. Spotted by the Reddit user JorganJreeman, this change makes the action of switching characters while running smoother than before. With the change, no longer will the players face a delay in running, changing characters seamlessly during the movement. While it may seem like a small change at first, it’s a huge gameplay boon, as it makes running around considerably more fluid and less annoying.
This was just one of the many quality-of-life features that were introduced in Version 1.1. Some others include improvements to the game’s menus to make them more intuitive, a new function that helps players to find locations for crafting materials and more. In the patch,HoYoverse also fixed an issuein which players would spawn near the Bud of Harmony Calyx and get attacked by enemies while trying to farm materials.
Unfortunately,Honkai: Star Railversion 1.1 is still not as good as it could have been. Some fans are currently disappointed that thein-game Friend Chat is still not available inHonkai: Star Rail. This feature was previously confirmed by HoYoLab before the patch was out, but it ended up not being in the game during the update’s release, which disappointed several gamers. However, HoYoVerse is definitely making good work with quality-of-life features in this title, so it’ll probably be available soon.
Honkai Star Railis available now on Mobile and PC, with PS4 and PS5 versions in development.
