How to Link Hoyoverse Account to PS5

Honkai Star Rail version 1.4 brought new innovative features. But the most important one is that the game finally came to PlayStation consoles. The devs had revealed this feature since the game’s launch show on April 26, 2023. This feature was already available for Genshin Impact. Fortunately, Honkai Star Rail players can now decide which platform to continue their adventure. But to do so, they first need to link their Hoyoverse Account to PS5.
