Honkai: Star Rail’s Version 4.5 Special Program drops three redemption codes during the broadcast, and together they give you 300 Stellar Jades plus a few character and trace materials. The stream is confirmed for August 14, 2026, at 7:30 PM (UTC+8), and the codes appear live once the broadcast is underway.
Quick answer: Watch the 4.5 livestream on August 14, 2026 starting 7:30 PM UTC+8, copy each of the three codes as they show on screen, and redeem them on the official gift page or in-game before they expire (livestream codes usually stay valid for about 24 hours).
Release time: August 14, 2026, 7:30 PM China Standard Time (UTC+8)
When the 4.5 codes go live
The codes are not published ahead of time. They are shown on screen during the Special Program itself, and the first one usually appears right after the version trailer plays, when the hosts take a short break. All three are revealed across the broadcast, so keep the stream open until it ends.
The broadcast starts at the same moment worldwide. Here is when it begins in each region.
| Region / Time zone | Start time (August 14, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) | 4:30 AM |
| Mountain Daylight Time (UTC-6) | 5:30 AM |
| Central Daylight Time (UTC-5) | 6:30 AM |
| Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) | 7:30 AM |
| Western European Summer Time (UTC+1) | 12:30 PM |
| Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) | 1:30 PM |
| Eastern European Summer Time (UTC+3) | 2:30 PM |
| India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) | 5:00 PM |
| China / Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) | 7:30 PM |
| Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) | 8:30 PM |
What the three codes give you
The code strings change every version, but the rewards stay the same as previous Special Programs. Each code carries 100 Stellar Jades along with one extra material, for a combined 300 Stellar Jades.
| Code | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Code 1 | 100x Stellar Jades, 50,000 Credits |
| Code 2 | 100x Stellar Jades, 5x Traveler’s Guide |
| Code 3 | 100x Stellar Jades, 4x Refined Aether |
Note: livestream codes are short-lived. Redeem all three as soon as they appear, since they typically stop working within about a day of the broadcast.
Redeem on the official website
The website works on every platform, including iOS, where the in-game redemption button is not available.
Redeem inside the game
This method works on Android, PC, and PlayStation. iOS players should use the website instead, since the code button does not appear on that platform.
How to confirm it worked
A successful redemption sends the rewards straight to your in-game mailbox, usually within a minute. Open the mailbox (the envelope icon), find the reward mail, and claim it to move the Stellar Jades and materials into your account.
Before you can redeem anything, you must finish the early mission that unlocks the mailbox. Without it, the codes have nowhere to deliver.
Common reasons a code fails
| Error message | What it means |
|---|---|
| Redemption code expired | The code’s window has closed. Livestream codes typically last only around 24 hours. |
| Redemption code has already been used | You already claimed this code, or received the same reward from another one. |
| Invalid redemption code | The string was typed or copied incorrectly. Re-check for missing characters. |
| Redemption code has reached max usage limit | The code had a capped number of uses and is now fully claimed. |
| Server region mismatch | Your account server does not match the one selected. Confirm your server on the login screen. |
To avoid the expiry issue entirely, redeem the codes during or right after the broadcast rather than waiting. Copying them straight from the stream and pasting them into the gift page is the fastest way to lock in all 300 Stellar Jades before the window ends.
