With a game like Honkai: Star Rail featuring a heavily unpredictable luck-based gacha system, obtaining free rewards is a must. Like most miHoYo games, Honkai: Star Rail does offer players a variety of ways to unlock free rewards, with one of the most bountiful being limited Twitch drop campaigns.
Twitch drop campaigns aren’t always occurring, which means players will have to look to other methods of obtaining free loot in Honkai: Star Rail like redeeming codes, but when Twitch drops are live, the rewards are substantial.MiHoYo decided to kick off the highly anticipated launch of Honkai: Star Rail with a lengthy Twitch drop campaign that eager players were able to jump into immediately and followed it up with another campaign almost immediately after.
Twitch campaigns are one of the easiest ways for players to obtain rewards since loot is gained through watching streamers. Some Twitch drop campaigns are only active for specifically-chosen streamers, but miHoYo has confirmed that any Honkai: Star Rail stream on Twitch will count toward players’ progress.
This means players can choose from a variety of creators as long as they are streaming in the Honkai: Star Rail category on Twitch. You don’t have to stick to just one either as all watch progress is accumulated across any streamers you watch.
All Honkai: Star Rail Twitch drops
The first-ever set of Twitch drops for Honkai: Star Rail officially kicked off at the game’s launch and lasted from April 26 to May 24. Shortly after this initial campaign came to an end, another one began alongside Honkai: Star Rail’s Version 1.1 update.
Trailblazers can claim loot from the second campaign for about a month. The drops in this campaign feature various loot including:
- 20,000 Credits for watching 15 minutes
- Four Lost Gold Fragments for watching another 15 minutes
- Five Condensed Aether for watching an additional 15 minutes
- Three Traveler’s Guides for watching another 15 minutes
- 30 Stellar Jade for watching an additional hour
To obtain all rewards in the second Twitch campaign, Trailblazers will need to watch for a total of two hours.

How to earn Honkai: Star Rail Twitch drops
Players can earn the Honkai: Star Rail Twitch drop loot by watching participating streamers on Twitch during the event. The event will be live from June 7 to July 5, which gives players ample amount of time to get in on the rewards.
To claim Honkai: Star Rail Twitch drops, all players need to do is watch streamers play the game after linking their Honkai: Star Rail account to Twitch. Players must link both accounts before they can obtain rewards.
How to claim Honkai: Star Rail Twitch drops
While players will really only need to tune into a Honkai: Star Rail stream, there are a few extra steps that need to be taken to ensure you will be successful in claiming the rewards.
- Players can activate this campaign by linking their Twitch and Honkai: Star Rail accounts anytime after June 7 and before July 5. This cannot be done until players have already made a Honkai: Star Rail account and at least progressed to the point of naming their character.
- The next step is to tune in until you have watched for long enough to unlock a reward. Every reward requires Trailblazers to watch for an additional 15 minutes with the exception of the final one where players must watch for a full hour.
- After watching for enough time to claim a reward, visit the Twitch drops and rewards page and select the claim button.
- Your reward will then arrive in your Honkai: Star Rail mailbox within 24 hours. Players cannot receive these rewards until after they have activated their mailbox by completing the Trailblaze Missions from “The Blue” to “A Moment of Peace.”
In my experience with both Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Twitch drops, code redemptions, and other such rewards, the delivery is always instantaneous. Players can expect the rewards will likely be delivered fairly soon after they are claimed, but it also could potentially take up to 24 hours to appear.
