Honor of Kings: World Platforms — PC, Mobile & Cross-Play Status

Which platforms Honor of Kings: World runs on: PC and mobile confirmed with cross-platform sync in China, global test PC-first, console unannounced.

Short Answer

In China, Honor of Kings: World runs on PC, iOS, and Android with one shared account and synchronized progress. The first global test is PC-only. A console version has not been announced.

What Is Confirmed

  • China platforms: PC (April 10, 2026) and iOS/Android (April 17, 2026).
  • Cross-platform play with a shared account and synced progress is live in China.
  • The first global test (May 2026 closed alpha) was PC-exclusive.
  • Built on Unreal Engine 5.

What Is Still Unknown

  • Console (PlayStation/Xbox) plans — nothing announced in either region.
  • Whether the global version launches on PC and mobile simultaneously.
  • Global PC storefront strategy (standalone launcher vs. Steam/Epic).

Guide Notes

The China rollout is the best predictor we have: PC first, mobile one week later, full cross-progression. A global rollout that mirrors this — PC-led, mobile close behind — matches both the China pattern and the PC-only alpha.

If you plan to play on mobile, note the reported client size (roughly 25–28 GB in China) and that the China version targets recent mid-to-high-end devices. Budget hardware may not be the intended experience.

Console players should keep expectations at zero until there is an announcement — no official statement points to a console version.

FAQ

Does Honor of Kings: World have cross-play?

Yes in China — PC and mobile share one account with synced progress. The same design is expected globally but not formally confirmed.

Is it coming to PS5 or Xbox?

No console version has been announced for any region.

Why is the global test PC-only?

The publisher has not explained, but PC-first testing is common for UE5 cross-platform titles — it isolates server and content feedback from mobile performance tuning.
