Aniimo September 16 PC Console vs September 23 Mobile Launch

⚠

Core problem: decide whether to start on PC or console on September 16 or wait for mobile on September 23, without losing progress, pre-reg rewards, or console pack items. Community consensus: use one Aniimo account everywhere. The account is tied to your Aniimo email, not Steam, PSN, Xbox, or App Store. Beta testers logged into the same account on PC and mobile at the same time. Cross-play and cross-progression are what players are planning around.

Choose Your Start Date

September 16

PC and Console

Start here if you have a capable PC or PS5 or Xbox Series. Community ballpark: GTX 1060 / 12 GB RAM minimum, RTX 3070 / 16 GB recommended. You get a week of story, catching, and Homeland before mobile players arrive. Launch window: September 16, 10:00 UTC+8.

September 23

Mobile

Wait here if phone or tablet is your only machine or you already know you will play mostly on the go. Pre-register in App Store or Google Play so the download is ready. Do not make a second account on the later platform.

One account rule: use the same email for pre-registration, web events, and first character creation. Do not create a throwaway login on September 16 if you already pre-registered elsewhere.

1
Use one email for official pre-registration, the old web event, and first character creation.
Players who used different emails in the "Time to Aniimo" web event were told rewards only land if that email matches the first live character.
2
Treat same account as same progress across PC, PS5, Xbox, and mobile.
People asking "can I move PC to PS5 to iPhone" are being told: same account equals same progress. Treat that as the default plan unless the client says otherwise on launch day.
3
Do not make a second account on the later platform.
That is the mistake people keep warning about in beta threads. One email, one account, all platforms.

2Console Pack Decision

Advanced Edition

~$9.99

Battle pass / handbook plus platform accessory (Fluffy Friend on PS, Doggo Dude on Xbox).

Collector's Edition

~$19.99

Advanced contents plus extra cosmetics (doll and avatar frame reported).

How to decide: only buy if you already own that console and will log in on that console at least once to claim mail and rewards. Collectors plan to buy on the console they own, claim there, then play on PC or mobile with the same account and hope cosmetics are account-bound. That is not officially confirmed, it is the bet people are making because beta progress was account-tied. Do not buy both PS and Xbox packs unless you can physically log into both consoles. PC is not getting the same store packs.

3What to Do on September 16 (PC or Console Starters)

1
Download or preload from Steam, Epic, PS Store, or Xbox as soon as it is live.
2
Log in with the same email you pre-registered with.
3
Create the character you intend to keep. Do not reroll on a second email.
4
Claim mailbox, pre-reg, and pack items immediately.
5
Play normally. When mobile drops on the 23rd, install and log in with that same account.
Beta players already did PC plus phone on one login.

Mobile-only until the 23rd: pre-register in App Store or Google Play so the download is ready. On the 23rd, log in with that email. Do not make a fresh guest account. Controller-on-mobile is being asked on X but has no consistent community answer yet. Assume touch first week.

Common Mistakes

✗
Creating a Steam-only or PSN-only character then a different mobile account a week later. One email, one account, all platforms.
✗
Buying a console pack and never logging into that console. You must claim on the console you bought the pack on.
✗
Expecting a PC store pack that the community has not seen. As of the last few days, PC is not getting the same console store packs.
✗
Treating beta sealed eggs or beta progress as live progress. Closed beta was wiped except for specific seal and egg rules from that test. Launch is a fresh world with pre-reg cosmetics on top.
✗
Assuming console exclusive pets automatically appear on PC the same minute. Claim on console first.

The plan the community is running: one account, start on the hardware you have on the 16th if you can, pick up the same character on phone on the 23rd.
