Update: As previously announced, HoYoverse has opened sign ups for a technical test featuring the PS5 version of Honkai: Star Rail. It sounds like if you've already started on PC or mobile, cross-save will be supported, as long as your HoYoverse account is linked to your PSN. You'll also be able to continue your progress, on either PC or mobile, once the technical test ends. You can sign up by filling in the form through here.
Original Article: The highly anticipated PS5 version of turn-based gacha sensation Honkai: Star Rail will be getting a technical test, with sign-ups going live from 7PM PDT on Tuesday, 22nd August – or 3AM BST on Wednesday, 23rd August, depending where in the world you currently are.
A new trailer was also showcased during Gamescom Opening Night Live, focusing on some of the new content coming as part of the game’s next major 30th August update. There’s still no firm release date attached to the PlayStation version, but it’s expected later this year.

Any news on HOW you sign up? Through the game on pc/ mobile or through PSN?

If you're still curious, you have to sign up via their website.
Hi @ATaco thank you! I did manage to sign up anyway but thank you for taking the time to reply!
@Recover20 it's the only real important part of this news so it's perplexing why no site reporting on it mentions it!
«anticipated gacha» is the kind of expression that pisses me off… a lot! Because it should an oxymoron, but sadly it's not.
As an aside, I've just researched the term and I was absolutely sure before that «gacha» meant «got you» («gotcha»)… I mean, I was wrong, but it fits pretty well I'd say!
@Olmaz it’s based on those capsule toys. They’re all over the place in Japan.
@KaijuKaiser I know now, I've looked it up. Apparently «gacha» is like the sound the arm of the toy makes when catching of those capsules.
But still, «gotcha games» fits well!: )
190k sign ups already. Good sign.
Think this game will be very big on PS5. I'm certainly more interested in it than Genshin based on what kind of game it is. Though I would have been more likely to dive straight in if it had come out this summer. Now we're getting into dangerous release territory, and the backlog only grows...
One step closer to the stars.
It's hard to tell but does this mean there is no PS4 version? I thought a few months it was announced for PS4 and PS5. Or is it just a Test for PS5?

A demo for action RPG remake Star Ocean: The Second Story R is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC Steam, publisher Square Enix and developer Gemdrops announced.
Square Enix has announced SaGa Emerald Beyond for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, PC, iOS, and Android. It will launch digitally in early 2024 worldwide.
Every time we see Alan Wake 2 we’re blown away, and this 11 minute demo published by IGN is no exception. Unlike the Gamescom footage, this sequence focuses on second playable protagonist Saga Anderson, and showcases some of her FBI detective skills, as well as general exploration and combat. The atmosphere and overall sense of style is seriously impressive.
FromSoftware is still struggling to lock its games to 60 frames-per-second, it seems. The Japanese developer has a history of not quite reaching its technical targets, with beloved games like Bloodborne and even the much more recent Elden Ring exhibiting performance flaws — particularly on consoles. And it's the same old story with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, according to the new analysis from Digital Foundry.
DECAPOLICE, the really cool looking detective RPG that was announced for PS5 and PS4 back in February, will have a relatively big role to play at Tokyo Game Show 2023. Developer Level-5 has announced its games lineup for the event — which takes place from the 21st September — and DECAPOLICE is basically the headline act.
Street Fighter 6’s first Character Pass is coming quicker than we initially anticipated, with the oddball A.K.I. arriving as early as 27th September. Capcom fully detailed the character with a huge trailer and PlayStation Blog post overnight, confirming that the slithery individual is able to inject poison into enemies who dare to stand too close to her. Consider her a new type of Poison, then, eh?
Anonymous;Code is the latest visual novel in the Science Adventure series. It takes place in 2037 Tokyo and focuses on Pollon Takaoka, a young hacker who's part of a group called Nakano Symphonies. Pollon doesn’t particularly enjoy being a hacker and isn’t even that skilled at it, but he does it along with his friend Cross to earn money and help people out.
according to newly registered ESRB ratings, it looks like Falcom's excellent JRPGs, Trails of Cold Steel 3 and Trails of Cold Steel 4, are coming to PS5. The two sequels, which released on western PS4s in 2019 and 2020 respectively, are published by NIS America outside of Japan — and we all know how much that company loves its PS5 ports.
Fans may be understandably fuming at Sony’s decision to increase annual PS Plus prices dramatically, but it’s had a positive impact on the firm’s share prices, with investors rubbing their hands over the prospect of increased profits. Bloomberg (paywall) reports that the Japanese giant’s shares increased by 3.4 per cent in Tokyo on Friday, the most they’ve gained in more than a month.
The long-awaited sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2, will be fully playable at next month’s Tokyo Game Show – and even if you’re not visiting the enormous Japanese convention, you’ll be able to learn more about the release as part of the publisher’s Online Special Program on 21st September from 7PM PDT. According to a social media post, this will include “new gameplay and info” from director Hideaki Itsuno.
With the frankly flabbergasting PS Plus price increases announced overnight, Sony is in need of a win for its subscriptions – and a big one at that! One way it could curry favour with long-time members is by upgrading its PS2 emulator, allowing it to bring back classics from the early noughties alongside the PS1 and PSP titles it’s been adding as a PS Plus Premium perk.
