When does Aniimo come out?
Aniimo is now live on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, according to the September 16 official launch notice. Native iOS and Android versions remain scheduled for September 23.
Mobile pre-download started September 22 at 12:00 AM UTC+8. The official mobile announcement now confirms the opening schedule: America on September 22 at 22:00 UTC-4, Europe on September 23 at 02:00 UTC+0, and Apac on September 23 at 10:00 UTC+8. See the mobile requirements, cross-save and controller guide.
The Xbox pre-order listing specifies 10:00 UTC+8 for PC and console. The conversions below describe that same instant; they do not indicate regional early access.
| Region | PC / console release time |
|---|---|
| UTC+8 | September 16, 10:00 |
| UTC | September 16, 02:00 |
| US Eastern (EDT) | September 15, 22:00 |
| US Pacific (PDT) | September 15, 19:00 |
| Japan / Korea | September 16, 11:00 |
The mobile opening follows the server-specific schedule above. Version 1.1 maintenance is planned for September 23 from 00:00 to 10:00 UTC+8; the actual end may move if maintenance changes.
Why does Steam say September 15?
The US-facing Steam store date is consistent with the UTC+8 launch falling on the previous evening in North America. A different calendar date alone is not evidence of a delay. Use the time-zone table when coordinating with friends.
Confirmed platforms and official stores
| Platform | Official destination | Announced date (UTC+8) |
|---|---|---|
| PC | Steam / Epic | September 16 |
| PS5 | PlayStation | September 16 |
| Xbox Series X and S | Xbox | September 16 |
| Android | Google Play | September 23 |
| iOS | Official website | September 23 |
| GeForce NOW (cloud streaming) | Official announcement | September 17 |
Can you play through GeForce NOW?
Yes. GeForce NOW support was announced September 17, 2026. The official Steam announcement confirms cloud streaming. Aniimo remains free to play, but you need a valid GeForce NOW membership (Free, Performance or Ultimate, subject to NVIDIA’s terms and availability). This is a streaming option, not a new native build; the September 23 mobile schedule is unchanged. See the PC and cloud guide.
What about Switch, Switch 2, PS4, Xbox One, or Mac?
We have not found an official announcement of a Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS4, Xbox One native, or macOS version in the checked launch sources. That is an unconfirmed platform status, not a claim that a port can never happen. Xbox cloud availability also does not establish a native version for older hardware.
Getting started
Choose an official store, verify your platform requirements, and distinguish a free account registration from an optional paid pack. For PC, read the Steam and Epic requirements comparison. For rewards, see pre-registration and events.
