Honkai Star Rail Codes May 2026: Updated List and Free Jades

Updated: May 25, 2026

If you’re saving up for those version 4.2 banners or just need extra resources to level up your team, Honkai Star Rail codes are the absolute easiest way to bag some free rewards. This month arrived fully stacked with goodies straight from official Hoyoverse social media channels and the recent Version 4.2 livestream. We've verified these drops alongside trusted community trackers like Mobalytics and RockPaperShotgun to ensure every code listed here actually works.

As you probably know if you play any gacha games, the developers drop promotional codes fairly often to hand out free Stellar Jades, credits, and character experience materials. The trick is to cash them in fast, because many of them expire just a few days after they’re announced, especially the ones dropped during official streams.

What do these free Honkai Star Rail rewards do?

If you are wondering why you should bother claiming these codes, here is a quick breakdown of what these essential resources do for your account:

• Stellar Jades: The most premium currency in the game. You need 160 Stellar Jades to buy one Star Rail Special Pass, which allows you to "warp" (pull) for limited-time 5-star characters and Light Cones.
• Fuel: Instantly restores 60 Trailblaze Power, letting you farm more Relics, character ascension materials, or Trace materials without waiting for the daily recharge.
• Traveler's Guide & Adventure Log: These are character experience materials. Use them to level up your team to tackle harder content like the Memory of Chaos or Pure Fiction.
• Refined Aether: The primary material used to level up your Light Cones (weapons), increasing your characters' base stats.
• Credits: The universal currency of the Honkai universe. You will need millions of these to max out a single character's traces and level.

How to redeem codes step by step

If you're relatively new aboard the Astral Express, keep in mind you first need to complete the "A Moment of Peace" Trailblaze Mission to unlock your mailbox. After you've got that done, you have two simple ways to claim your loot.

From your web browser:

1. Head over to the official Hoyoverse redemption page.
2. Log in with your main gaming account.
3. Select your server and double-check that your character nickname shows up correctly.
4. Paste the code and hit redeem.

Directly in-game:

1. Open the smartphone menu inside Honkai Star Rail.
2. Tap or click the three dots button right next to your avatar's name.
3. Select the Redemption Code option.
4. Type in the text, confirm it, and then check your in-game mailbox to open your presents.

Troubleshooting Common Errors

• "Code Expired": The time window for this specific code has closed. This happens frequently with livestream codes which usually only last 24 hours.
• "Invalid Code": Double-check for typos, extra spaces, or capitalization errors. Make sure you are redeeming it for the correct regional server.
• "Code Already Redeemed": You have already claimed this promotional code on your account. Each code is strictly single-use per UID.

Expired codes

The codes listed below have already passed their usage deadline. If you see them floating around the internet, don't waste your time trying them:

• EB28LCJRU4W3
• AceDetective
• 4T28RJM4MS3B
• CSJ882LL4BHF
• 7T3R83MMMTY3

With all that Stellar Jade locked in, you’re in a solid spot to try your luck for the new characters dropping in patch 4.2 or to just hoard it for a future banner. Keep your eyes peeled, as they usually sneak in a new code whenever there's a community event or a brand collaboration.
