Honkai Star Rail is one of the best RPGs developed by miHoYo, the same company that has developed and published Genshin Impact. While the game is occasionally locked on 60 FPS for some, there are ways to increase them to 120, and get the experience of a lifetime in HSR, as characters run more smoothly and the delay is minimized. Here in this guide, we will show you how to get 120 FPS in Honkai Star Rail (HSR).
Honkai Star Rail Stuck on 60 FPS on PC
On the smartphone, the game doesn’t have an FPS limiter, meaning the game can well go above the 120 FPS threshold and get the smoothest experience. But, when you are on the Desktop PC, it doesn’t even surpass 60 FPS. It is like the game is naturally locked or stuck on 60 FPS on PC.
The methods we are going to mention below will uncap the FPS in Honkai Star Rail and you will start getting more than 60 FPS in the game.
How to Get 120 FPS in Honkai Star Rail (HSR)?
Following are the methods to get 120 FPS in HSR (Honkai Star Rail).
In-Game Options
Head over to the in-game settings and from there, you will find the Graphics Settings tab. In this tab, there is a row that says “FPS”. On the right side, you can increase or decrease the FPS, to, or from 120. Here are the steps to do it.
- Click on the gear icon
- Head to settings
- Select Graphics Settings
- Head to the FPS section
- Select 120 FPS
This can be done on all platforms including PC, Android, and iOS. This means all of these platforms can get 120 FPS in Honkai Star Rail.
Disabling FPS Locking/Capping Software
There are times when your Windows PC has running software in the background that locks the FPS inside the game to 60, or in some cases 30. Most of these software are Radeon Chill, RTSS (Rivatuner Statistics Server), Nvidia Control Panel FPS Limiter, Nvidia Experience, AMD Adrenaline, and so on.
You will have to close all of these programs and then play the game, as you will get 120 FPS in Honkai Star Rail.
Using the Nvidia Control Panel
- Right-click on the Desktop
- Click on the Nvidia Control Panel
- Head to Manage 3D Settings
- In custom programs, select Honkai Star Rail
- Head down to Performance and select Maximum Performance
- Find FPS and put 120 there
Save and close. This will increase the performance of HSR on your system and also help you unlock the FPS from 60, getting a maximum of 120 FPS. The same can be done with AMD Adrenaline, as the software itself has these options.
Edit HSR Registry FPS Values to get 120 FPS on a Desktop PC
- Open the Registry Editor on your system
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cognosphere\Star Rail
- Find “GraphicsSettings_Model_h2986158309” in the binary value
- Right Click on the value
- Modify it by using the Binary Value Editor
- In “FPS:60”, replace 60 with 120, and save the binary value
This is the best method to get 120 FPS in Honkai Star Rail on a Desktop PC.
Using Game Booster
There are multiple game boosters available for you to increase your FPS from 60 in the game and also increase your performance. We will recommend LagoFast, as it enhances the Honkai Star Rail FPS.

Are there 120 FPS available in Honkai Star Rail?
Yes, after the update of 1.0.5, the game had 120 FPS as the maximum, and you can also choose 60 or 30.
Why is FPS Locked at 60 in Honkai Star Rail?
