Aniimo Launches 16 September on PS5, Xbox, PC and Mobile

Aniimo, the free-to-play creature-catching open-world RPG from Pawprint Studio and publisher Kingsglory, launches globally on 16 September 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8). It ships simultaneously on console, PC and mobile with cross-play and cross-progression enabled from day one.

Confirmed platforms

  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X|S
  • PC — Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store
  • iOS
  • Android

All of them share one account identity, so a save started on mobile continues on PC or Xbox without a transfer step. That is unusually complete for a launch-day gacha, and it is the single most consequential technical decision in the announcement.

The two paid pre-order packs

Neither pack is required to play. Both are cosmetic-and-materials bundles layered on top of a fully free game.

EditionPrice (US)RegionalContents
Advanced Edition $9.99 £7.99 / €9.99 / ¥1,500 Advanced Companion Handbook, Handbook-exclusive Prismana Aniimo Egg (hatches with Perfect Potential), Handbook-exclusive branching evolution material, additional in-game items
Collector's Edition $19.99 £18.99 / €23.99 / ¥3,000 Everything in Advanced, plus an exclusive doll and an exclusive avatar frame

PlayStation pre-orders additionally receive a Fluffy Friend accessory as a store-exclusive bonus.

The item that carries real gameplay weight is the guaranteed Perfect-Potential Prismana egg. Potential is an appraised quality grade running from Common to Perfect, and a guaranteed Perfect roll on a Prismana-form creature is not something the free game hands out casually. Everything else in both packs is convenience or cosmetics.

What launch day looks like

A 10:00 UTC+8 release lands at 02:00 UTC, which is late evening on 15 September in the Americas and early morning across Europe. Expect the usual first-day queue and store-propagation lag on mobile.

If you want to be ready, our beginner guide covers the opening hours, and the Aniilog already lists every Aniimo confirmed so far by element, role and evolution stage.

Pricing note

The game itself is free. Regional pricing on the packs is set by each storefront and may shift slightly at launch; the figures above are the announced values. We do not publish gacha rates until the game publishes them.

When does Aniimo come out?

Aniimo launches globally on 16 September 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8, which is 02:00 UTC. It is free-to-play on every supported platform.

When is Aniimo coming out?

Aniimo is coming out on 16 September 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8. The release is simultaneous across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store), iOS and Android, with no staggered regional rollout announced.

When does Aniimo release?

Aniimo releases on 16 September 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8. In local terms that is 02:00 UTC, so the launch lands late on 15 September for most of the Americas and early on 16 September across Europe and Asia.

What platforms is Aniimo on?

PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, plus iOS and Android — with cross-play and cross-progression between all of them.

How much do the Aniimo pre-order packs cost?

The Advanced Edition is $9.99 (£7.99 / €9.99 / ¥1,500) and the Collector’s Edition is $19.99 (£18.99 / €23.99 / ¥3,000). Neither is required to play.

Is Aniimo free to play?

Yes. Aniimo is free-to-play with gacha monetisation. The pre-order packs are additive bundles of in-game items and cosmetics, not access tiers.
