Additionally, players can look forward to receiving Special Rail Passes in each update, aiding them in acquiring their favored units from limited-time banners.
Prior to the official launch of version 2.2, Honkai: Star Rail teased several user experience improvements that will be part of the forthcoming update. The Trailblazer Profile will now showcase a player's recent achievements and challenges to friends. An innovative social feature will enable players to view their friends' lineups in Pure Fiction and Forgotten Hall within Honkai: Star Rail.

A feature for suggesting Trace upgrades will be integrated into the Traces screen. Players will also have the option to mark their frequently used characters in the 'Character Details' section.
Aside from these enhancements, Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming update will introduce a lineup of banner characters, including Robin, Boothill, Topaz, and Fu Xuan. Robin and Topaz are expected to debut in the initial phase, with Boothill and Fu Xuan following in the subsequent phase. Players can utilize their Special Rail Passes on these banners to permanently unlock these characters. It's worth noting that the leaked banner sequence may be subject to change upon the release of Honkai: Star Rail version 2.2.
