Lines of code on HoYoverse's website contain references suggesting that the studio’s games could soon support Steam integration. The discovered snippets mention the ability to bind a user account to Valve’s platform, a feature that is not currently available to players through the public site.
Within the codebase, there are specific entries for signing in with Steam and for unlinking an account. At present, players can only perform account linking and unlinking with PlayStation Network accounts, which implies that Steam support may be added in an upcoming update.
Dataminers who examined the code also pointed out a clear exception: one line explicitly states that Honkai Impact 3rd cannot be linked. The leak sparked reactions from the community, with some fans joking that once Steam linking arrives they will finally be able to see how much time they’ve spent in the studio’s games.
HoYoverse has not publicly announced any Steam release plans tied to the code clues, and the exact timing for any rollout remains unclear. For now the references in the site’s code are the strongest indication that support for Steam accounts could be introduced in the near future.
