Honkai: Star Rail just closed out its version 1.6 livestream, teasing what’s to come in the next update, which launches the evening of Dec. 26 EST. Alongside new characters and events, Hoyoverse uses the stream to distribute codes that reward free Stellar Jade and other upgrade materials.
The version 1.6 stream showcased upcoming content, like previously announced characters Ruan Mei and Dr. Ratio (yes, that’s really his name). Alongside these characters, the version 1.6 update will come with a special Simulated Universe mode, and a free copy of Dr. Ratio to claim. We also got our first peek into version 2.0, which will take us to Penacony, a new planet, for the first time. We got to see new characters like Robin, Firefly, and others.
These codes are only active until the day ends, so you’ll want to make sure to use them quickly.
The Honkai: Star Rail reward codes from the version 1.6 livestream are:
These codes will expire on Dec. 16 at 10:59 a.m. EST / 7:59 a.m. PST, so use them quickly or you’ll miss out on the free loot. For more codes that don’t expire in just a few hours, you can check out our constantly-updated list of active Honkai: Star Rail codes.
