If there was a single nice thing about traveling long-distance on a plane or train, it’s that you can usually count on a few freebies here and there. Complimentary peanuts, head cushions, eye masks, a box of crayons; it doesn’t even matter if you need or want it, the point is that it’s free, and the best things in life are free. Even aboard the trailblazing Astral Express of Honkai: Star Rail, you can still count on a few mid-trip freebies, provided you know the right codes. Here’s how to redeem codes in Honkai: Star Rail.

How to Redeem Codes in Honkai: Star Rail

Just like in HoYoVerse’s previous game, Genshin Impact, as well as pretty much every live service game these days Honkai: Star Rail features a code redemption system. You can redeem special codes for free items like in-game currencies, character items, EXP items, and more. While you shouldn’t expect to break the bank with these rewards, a few extra chunks of Stellar Jade here and there can definitely go a long way, especially if you’re in the throes of a gacha marathon.

New codes tend to stealth-drop on HoYoVerse and Honkai: Star Rail’s official social channels, such as Twitter, YouTube, and especially the official Discord. Whenever a new code drops, be it from a social post, a live stream, or something else entirely, you can bet the members of the Star Rail Discord will be on it like butter on toast, so keep your eyes there for the newest ones.

Here are all the codes and rewards available for Honkai: Star Rail as of April 26, 2023:

• HSRGRANDOPEN1: Rewards 100 Stellar Jade, 50,000 Credit. Expires April 30, 2023.
