Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail is on version 4.6, and the game's schedule for the next few weeks is already packed: a debut character, banners with two different end dates, a stack of events and codes that still work. If you came back recently or you are saving Stellar Jade for something specific, here is how the month looks.
Where the game stands right now
Version 4.6 is the current one, and a version runs for about six weeks, so this one stays live until early November. The version brought the new events and the banners we list below, and the rest of the schedule was spread across the end of October and the start of November.
Like we wrote in our Portuguese roundup earlier this month, our opinion is that the deadlines matter more than usual here: the character banners do not all end on the same day, so planning your pulls around the calendar saves you from a last-minute panic. The dates below are in Brasília time, the ones you see in the game.
The banners and when they end
Version 4.6's debut character is Pearl, a 5★ Ice character on the Elation path, and she is the only limited 5★ making her first appearance this version. Her character banner, An Ocean in a Pearl, boosted her, Qingque, Xueyi and Misha until November 10 at 04:00. Her Light Cone, Colors for Tomorrow, sits in Brilliant Fixation with the same window.
Evanescia is the other limited 5★ of the first phase. Her banner, The Demoiselle in Charge, also boosted Qingque, Xueyi and Misha, and it closes earlier: October 21 at 00:59. If Evanescia is the one you want, that is the deadline to keep in your head, not the November one.
The Light Cone banner for that phase, Bygone Reminiscence, ends at the same time on October 21 with Until the Flowers Bloom Again boosted.
The Fate collaboration banners stay open with no end date in our database: I Am the Bone of My Sword (Archer), Excalibur Excelsior (Saber), The Gem Coursing in Red (Rin Tohsaka) and Of the Beginning, Enuma Elish (Gilgamesh), plus their matching Light Cone banners. If you still want one of them, you do not have to race October to get it.
Events to fit into your week
The Nameless Honor Battle Pass runs until November 8 at 16:59, which lines up with the version's own cycle, and pays out 5 Star Rail Passes, 2 Tracks of Destiny, 510,000 Credits and ascension materials along the way.
Odyssey's Gift puts daily rewards in the Travel Log, unlocked in order as you log in, until November 9 at 16:59, with 10 Star Rail Special Passes at the end of the track. Love, Ghosts and Robots runs until November 10 at 16:59 and gives 1,200 Stellar Jade plus 690,000 Credits.
If you are leveling Gilgamesh, the Destiny Contract: Renewal track keeps the collaboration character and the materials to take him to level 60 available until November 10 at 20:00. A different clock, again.
And if you still have Simulated Universe runs pending, Planar Fissure doubles the planar ornaments from Simulated Universe Worlds from October 12. Garden of Plenty opens on October 30 and doubles Golden and Crimson Calyx rewards. Both are the cheapest time of the month to farm ornaments and trace materials, so leave those runs for these windows.

How the community is doing
We are honest about what we can and cannot measure here. September's gacha revenue ranking put Genshin, Honkai: Star Rail and Naruto Mobile at the top, with Zenless Zone Zero outside the top 10. That is revenue, not mood, and we did not find a player sentiment survey in the sources we checked, so this roundup does not pretend to know how everyone feels about the game.
What we can follow is the official content schedule, and it has been steady. The video series The Laughter Outsmarts miHoYo is running, and its second episode, an interview, went up this week. That is the cadence to expect as version 4.6 heads toward its second phase.
