Maintenance began at 06:00 UTC+8 and was estimated to last about five hours, putting expected availability around 03:00 UTC on December 27—not at a guaranteed exact time.
When did Honkai: Star Rail 1.6 come out?
Version 1.6 launched on December 27, 2023, under the title “Crown of the Mundane and Divine.” HoYoverse’s December 24, 2023 maintenance notice said the game would update to Version 1.6 when maintenance finished. The PlayStation Blog announcement also gave December 27 as the release date.
What time did HSR 1.6 release?
The official notice scheduled maintenance to begin at 06:00 on December 27, 2023, in UTC+8. It estimated that maintenance would take approximately five hours. Converting that schedule gives an expected completion around 03:00 UTC on December 27. The end time is an estimate calculated from the announced duration, not a separately guaranteed server reopening time.
| Time zone | Maintenance start | Expected availability | What the time means |
|---|---|---|---|
| UTC+8 | December 27, 2023, 06:00 | About 11:00 | Start is from the official schedule; availability is based on its approximate five-hour duration. |
| UTC | December 26, 2023, 22:00 | Around December 27, 2023, 03:00 | Converted from the official UTC+8 schedule; completion is approximate. |
| Pacific Time (PST) | December 26, 2023, 2:00 PM | About December 26, 2023, 7:00 PM | Regional conversion of the UTC+8 schedule, not a separate official regional timetable. |
The date rolls back to December 26 for Pacific Time readers: the expected update availability was in the evening of December 26 there, even though it was December 27 in UTC and UTC+8. A Beebom time conversion likewise listed 7:00 PM PST on December 26.

When did maintenance end?
The notice did not promise an exact end time. Its approximately five-hour estimate implied completion around 11:00 UTC+8 on December 27 (03:00 UTC), assuming maintenance began as scheduled and lasted about as long as expected. Actual availability depended on the maintenance completing; the estimate should not be treated as a confirmed minute-by-minute launch time.
What did Version 1.6 add?
The update was called “Crown of the Mundane and Divine.” The PlayStation Blog announcement highlighted the Herta Space Station’s Seclusion Zone and the playable characters Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio, and Xueyi.
