Aniimo Mobile Guide: Release, Requirements, Cross-Save & Controllers

When does Aniimo launch on mobile?

Aniimo launched on iOS and Android on September 23, 2026. The official mobile launch announcement confirms that the released clients are available. The table below records the original server opening times, not a future launch countdown.

The three rows describe the same global opening window in each server's published time zone. Choose the server containing your existing character; the calendar date alone is not evidence of regional early access.

Use the official Google Play listing or the official App Store listing. Avoid unofficial APK sites. A store's small initial download number is not the same as the space needed after game resources are installed.

Official Aniimo mobile system requirements

These specifications were published by the verified Aniimo account on September 21. They replace older test requirements and third-party estimates.

The official note warns that a device below the minimum may fail to launch or run the game properly. Meeting the minimum is not a promise of a particular frame rate, temperature or battery life. Those need post-launch device tests.

Why does the App Store list iOS 15 instead of iOS 16?

The US App Store listing, checked September 28, says iOS 15.0 or later. The launch requirements table above says iOS 16. These published requirements differ; store installation eligibility is not a guarantee of stable gameplay. Check the current listing for your region and the developer's requirements before installing. We have not tested the game on iOS 15.

Does Aniimo mobile support 60 FPS?

Yes. The official mobile FAQ confirms a 60 FPS mode, except on a small number of lower-end devices. Higher frame rates can increase heat, so lower the graphics quality or rendering scale if the device becomes uncomfortable or unstable. Tablets and other large screens receive an automatic large-screen layout and higher rendering scale, which can also increase the load.

If an Aniimo test client is still installed, uninstall it before installing the release client. The official FAQ says previous-test clients can no longer be used.

Does Aniimo mobile support controllers?

Controller compatibility needs to be checked for the exact phone, operating system and controller. The developer letter discusses control improvements, but it is not a complete mobile compatibility list.

Our earlier version described a model list as officially confirmed. We could not reproduce that full list in the official announcement text reviewed for this update, so we no longer present it as a purchase guarantee. Check the current in-game settings and the accessory manufacturer's OS support before buying a controller. Button prompts, vibration and recognition on your device remain untested here.

Does PC progress carry over to mobile?

Yes. PC and mobile share data when you sign in with the same account. The official launch notice says an existing PC character can continue on mobile. The official account FAQ adds an important limit: progress is shared across platforms only within the same server, while different servers keep independent data.

Before creating another character on your phone:

1. Use the same Aniimo account you use on PC.
2. Select the server that contains your existing character.
3. If the character is missing, stop before starting over and recheck both the login method and server.
4. If the account is correct and progress is still missing, use Menu → Support.

Aniimo currently identifies America, Europe and Apac server regions. Cross-save does not merge characters created on different servers.

Check email linking before starting again

The official account FAQ describes a Link Email prompt for third-party sign-in. Use the account linked to your existing progress; skipping linking can leave progress or launch rewards associated with a different account. Matching the display name alone does not establish that two logins are the same account.

Missing character checklist: login method → linked account → original server → Menu → Support if all three match. Do not assume that reinstalling will merge characters from different accounts or servers.

Can you play Aniimo mobile offline?

Do not plan on offline play. The mobile launch notice tells players to keep a stable connection and warns about login queues. PlayStation marks online play as required, while Steam lists broadband internet in its system requirements. Solo play is supported, but playing alone is not the same as playing without the internet.

We have not yet run a release-client disconnect test on iOS or Android. That means we will not claim how long the mobile client remains open after signal loss or whether any cached screen remains available. See the full Aniimo offline and solo guide.

Is multiplayer and crossplay available on mobile?

Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer, and Aniimo's official material describes online co-op for up to four players in ordinary exploration. Egg Heist is a separate PvEvP activity built around three-player teams. Do not use the four-player co-op limit as the party size for every mode.

Mobile launch does not change the distinction between crossplay and cross-save:

• Crossplay means people on different supported platforms can play together.
• Cross-save means your own progress follows the same account on the same server.
• Guest progress is activity-specific; joining a host does not make every story or exploration unlock permanent for the guest.

See the multiplayer, party-size and account-linking guide for the evidence behind those limits.

Mobile launch troubleshooting checklist

The store still shows pre-register

The mobile release is already live. Open the official store link and check your store region and device eligibility. A stale listing is not evidence that the entire mobile version is still unreleased.

The phone says the app is not compatible

Compare the chipset, memory, OS and Vulkan support with the published requirements. If they appear to match, record the exact error, device model and OS version for Support. We have not confirmed a device whitelist or blacklist; a blocked launch alone does not establish one.

There is not enough storage

The launch guidance asks for 18 GB free. Initial store-download size is not the installed footprint after resource downloads. We have not measured the final footprint on a release device.

My PC character is missing on mobile

Check the account-linking checklist above before creating another character. Reinstalling is not a remedy for choosing the wrong regional server.

Download progress stays at 0% or rolls back

Check available space and try another connection. The official troubleshooting FAQ distinguishes download problems from in-game disconnects. Record which stage fails before contacting Support; do not treat every failure as a graphics problem.

I am stuck in a login queue or loading screen

Check current server notices first. The FAQ suggests comparing Wi-Fi and mobile data and checking whether VPN, proxy or private-network settings interfere. Change one variable at a time so you can report what helped. A launch-week queue warning is not proof of today's server status.

The phone gets hot, stutters or crashes

The official FAQ suggests reducing graphics quality or rendering scale. A selectable 60 FPS mode does not mean your device sustains 60 FPS. We have no measured frame-time, temperature or battery results to recommend a device-specific preset.

The controller connects but does not respond

Bluetooth pairing alone does not establish in-game compatibility. Check the game's input settings, your controller's OS support and whether the problem occurs in menus, gameplay or both. We have not verified a universal supported-model list.

What remains untested on release devices?

Updated September 28 using official launch information. These checks remain outstanding; they are not results from our own device tests:

• the final touch-control layout for catching, Twine, lock-on and climbing
• first download size versus the full installed footprint
• graphics presets, frame-rate limits, heat and battery use by device
• behavior when Wi-Fi changes to cellular data or the connection drops
• exact Apple, Google and other mobile sign-in flows
• controller recognition, button prompts and vibration on each tested device
• whether current patches change any menu or requirement

Any future device results will identify the device, client version and test date. Beta footage is not evidence of current mobile behavior.
