Have you heard of the mobile game Honkai: Star Rail? It’s the latest release from the well-known developer HoYoverse, who previously brought us the massively popular Genshin Impact. The game has been making waves in the gaming community, particularly in its home country, China.
But Honkai: Star Rail’s success hasn’t come without its controversies. The game was suspected of being a scam multiple times before its release, prompting China’s anti-fraud system to issue warnings and urge users to delete the app.
This news spread like wildfire among gamers on forums like Bilibili.
Too Popular, Honkai: Star Rail Suspected as Scam in China
One reason for the scam suspicion of Honkai: Star Rail was the massive number of downloads even before the game was officially released.
Since China doesn’t use Google Play, the game’s software/APK is “unverified” and only available through the official website.
The anti-fraud hotline warned that Honkai: Star Rail might be a scam and advised users to delete it and report any losses.
This incident may have also caught the attention of Chinese authorities, who are known for their strict regulations.
The huge surge in downloads certainly raised eyebrows, but players seem to have ignored the warning and continue to enjoy Honkai: Star Rail.
Despite the controversies, Honkai: Star Rail has proven to be incredibly popular. According to iOS statistics, the game was a massive hit even before its official release, with pre-downloads skyrocketing and the game making it to the top of the free download charts in over 140 countries.
On the day of its release, the game was downloaded 20 million times! It’s clear that Honkai: Star Rail has captured the attention of gamers worldwide and is here to stay.
