In Honkai: Star Rail, players can play and progress across multiple platforms with ease, making it convenient for them to play with friends or continue their progress across different platforms. In order to explain how cross-play and cross-progression work in the game in greater detail, we've put together the following guide:
Platforms Supporting Crossplay and Cross-Progression
•PC (Windows)
•iOS
•Android
•PlayStation 5 (as of the latest update)
•PlayStation 4 (planned for a future release)
How Cross-Progression Works
HoYoverse Account: 
1.Create or Log In: You need a HoYoverse account to use cross-progression. If you already have one from playing Genshin Impact or any other miHoYo game, you can use the same account.
2.Linking Accounts: On PlayStation, you might need to link your PSN account with your HoYoverse account for cross-progression. This is usually done in-game or via the account settings.
Playing on Different Devices:
3.Once your HoYoverse account is linked, start the game on any supported device and log in with your account. Your progress will sync automatically across devices.
Server Selection:
4.Server Lock: Your game progress is tied to the server you initially select. You cannot transfer progress between different regional servers. So, choose wisely based on where most of your friends play or where you intend to spend the majority of your game time.
Cross-Play Features
•Support Characters: While there's no direct multiplayer gameplay like co-op missions, you can lend and borrow Support Characters from friends across different platforms:
•Add Friends: You can add friends regardless of the platform they're on.
•Use Support Characters: In activities like Calyxes, you can choose a friend's character (even if they're on a different platform) to aid you in battle.

Cross-Progression Tips 
•Save Syncing: Ensure you have a stable internet connection when you first log in on a new device to sync your save data correctly.
•Data Safety: Remember to log out properly on one device before playing on another to avoid potential conflicts or data loss.
•Check Account: If you encounter issues, check that your HoYoverse account is linked correctly on all platforms, especially on PlayStation where an additional PSN link might be necessary.
Limitations
•No Direct Multiplayer: Although you can use friends' Support Characters, there's no direct multiplayer or co-op play where you control your characters simultaneously with friends.
•Server Transfer: Progress cannot be transferred between servers, so consider this when starting.
