When does Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 release?

Honkai: Star Rail is getting its next major update. Version 2.0 will take us to Penacony, a dreamy art deco-themed area that’s centered around a special hotel. The update brings new characters and a lot of new things to do. Notably, while we’re used to see new patches drop Tuesday nights/Wednesday mornings (depending on where you live), version 2.0 actually launches on Monday night/Tuesday morning, which is different from the norm. Below, we explain when Honkai: Star Rail maintenance starts and ends, alongside the release time of version 2.0 with Penacony. What time does Honkai: Star Rail go down for maintenance?

Usually Hoyoverse is pretty good by abiding by maintenance times. We don’t usually get extended maintenance, but it does end early sometimes!
