Honkai Impact 3rd[Note 3] is a hack and slash JRPG game developed and published by miHoYo.
With the exception of the Steam releases, the PC versions have cross-play compatibility with the mobile versions of the game.
Initially released for Android and iOS in China on October 16, 2016 and then the rest of the world throughout 2017 to 2018, the PC version was released as an open beta in China on September 5, 2019, followed by the releases in North America and Europe on December 26, 2019 and then in Southeast Asia on February 13, 2020.[2][3][4] It was later released on Steam and Epic Games Store on October 20, 2021 and October 27, 2022 respectively.
Since December 2021, miHoYo's subsidiary Cognosphere took over as the publisher of the game outside of China.
On February 2nd, 2024, the game updated to v7.3 with the Part 2, which introduced native mouse controls and several improvements to PC experience overall.
It should be noted that the Steam releases doesn't support HoYoverse account, meaning that progress made on the launcher versions with HoYoverse account cannot be carried over to Steam releases and vice versa.

Notes |
Boost
| In early levels, it is possible to purchase "new captain bundle" which contains lots of Crystals til level 50 and this may allow players to gain massive grind advantage. Every Season, a new Battle Pass is released which temporarily boosts the speed at grinding crystals, Epic crafting items, as well as giving special items that are only available in BP. The Battle Pass can be purchased using Bundle Coins. |
Currency
| Crystals are a real money purchase but can be earned as in-game rewards over time. Crystals can be used to purchase supplies, cosmetics and unlock characters, which are frequently added into the game at regular intervals. Bundle Coins are a real money purchase and can't be earned in-game, can be used to purchase items that require real money or bundles that have lower cost than paying with Crystals. |
Free-to-grind
| Crystals can be earned through most missions, events, and daily activities(such as Q-Singularis/Dirac), allowing the player to gather enough to pull and unlock new characters(or get items to rank them up) through loot box, level up the Battle Pass, Stamina to play for longer or spend in event-limited items to progress. |
Infinite spend
| Bundles sold with Bundle Coins usually have finite cap; otherwise, no practical limit to how much real money can be spent in the game. |
Loot box
| Crystals can be spent on Supplies which are loot boxes that may drop Epic or Legendary items, and guarantees a Epic quality characters or items every 10 pulls and, usually, a Legendary quality character or item every 100 (some supplies may have different conditions). |
