Aniimo Launched 16 September on PS5, Xbox and PC, Mobile 23 September
Pawprint Studio launched the global free-to-play release on 16 September, with mobile a week behind on the 23rd. Here is the platform list, the two paid pre-order packs, and what each one actually contains.
Aniimo, the free-to-play creature-catching open-world RPG from Pawprint Studio and publisher Kingsglory, launched globally on 16 September 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8) on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Mobile is a week behind: iOS and Android arrive on 23 September 2026, on the same accounts and the same servers. Cross-play and cross-progression were enabled from day one.
Confirmed platforms
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- PC: Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store
- iOS, from 23 September
- Android, from 23 September
All of them share one account identity, so a save started on PC continues on Xbox, and on a phone once mobile opens, 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.
| Edition | Price (US) | Regional | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 looked like
The 10:00 UTC+8 release landed at 02:00 UTC, which was late evening on 15 September in the Americas and early morning across Europe. The per-server times split the calendar date in three.
Pre-download had opened two days earlier, on 14 September at 10:00 UTC+8. That window is closed for PC and console, and there is no mobile pre-download ahead of the 23rd: the App Store and Google Play listings reserve the download rather than preloading it.
If you are starting now, our beginner guide covers the opening hours, the 10 things to do first puts them in order, and the Aniilog lists every Aniimo in the launch client by element, role and evolution stage.
Pricing note
The game itself is free. Regional pricing on the packs is set by each storefront; the figures above are the announced values. There are no gacha rates to publish: the one randomised acquisition system, the Legendary catch, was removed before launch, which our launch-changes coverage sets out in full.
