Is the mobile version available yet?
The September 23 official notice confirms that mobile is live. Servers opened at September 22, 22:00 UTC-4 in the Americas, September 23, 02:00 UTC in Europe and September 23, 10:00 UTC+8 in Apac. These are launch times, not a current server-status report.
Xbox cloud streaming on a phone is a different service with its own account and access conditions; it is not the native iOS or Android app.
Use the official store for your device
As checked September 29, Aniimo is released on the US App Store and the public Google Play page offers Install. Availability still depends on your region and device.
- Android: open the Google Play listing by Pawprint Studio and check your device’s availability.
- iPhone or iPad: open the App Store listing by PAWPRINT INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT PTE. LTD; switch to your own region when prompted.
- If Install is unavailable, check your store region and device compatibility. Use the official listing rather than an APK mirror.
Continue your existing character
The official reward notice says first-time email linking for third-party/mobile sign-in is for new users. If you skip that opportunity or already have a character you need to preserve, contact official support before changing links. Do not assume Steam’s later Email Link option applies to mobile.
- Confirm the Aniimo Pass and server used by your current PC or console character.
- Read the email-linking prompt before creating a new character on mobile.
- Choose the same server: characters on different servers have independent progress.
Read the account-linking prompt before creating a character. This site has not tested the mobile login screens.
Will your phone run it?
These are the specifications in the September 23 launch notice. The October update expanded device support; consult the current store listing for your device. The chart itself is dated September 14; it gives hardware targets, not measured performance results. The chart names iPhones but does not list specific iPad models; check your iPad’s regional App Store compatibility rather than inferring support from the iPhone row. The 18 GB figure is available storage, not a promised initial download size.
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | iPhone 11 (A13) | iPhone 14 Pro (A16) or newer |
| iOS / RAM | iOS 16 / 4 GB | iOS 16 or later / 6 GB or more |
| Android chipset | Snapdragon 855 / Dimensity 1000 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 / Dimensity 9200 or better |
| Android OS / RAM | Android 10 / 6 GB | Android 10 / 8 GB or more |
| Android graphics API | Vulkan 1.1 | Vulkan 1.1 or later |
| Available storage, either platform | 18 GB | 18 GB |
Why does the App Store say iOS 15?
As checked September 29, the US listing allows iOS/iPadOS 15 or later and shows a 3.7 GB app size. The publisher’s configuration chart specifies iOS 16 and 18 GB of available storage. Treat the store’s installation eligibility separately from the publisher’s gameplay requirements; the smaller app size does not replace the space needed for game resources. This guide uses the chart in the September 23 launch notice for device preparation and does not promise supported play on iOS 15.
Mobile download and compatibility changes
The October update adds background silent downloads on Android and iOS, so the game need not stay in the foreground during updates. It also improves resource verification and expands the supported device list. Check the current store listing and official notices for your specific device; the launch chart does not enumerate the newly added models.
Install, sign in and check the character
- Before downloading, compare your device with the chart and free at least 18 GB on that device.
- Open the official store entry. Install the current release for your region and device.
- Follow the app’s resource-download and login prompts. If login fails, check current maintenance notices and your connection.
- Use your existing linked Aniimo Pass. For first-time third-party sign-in, read the email-linking screen before proceeding; skipping it requires Support assistance.
- Select the server containing your existing character. Confirm the expected character and progress before creating anything new. If you see character creation instead, stop and compare the account and server with your original device.
These steps follow official account guidance. Native installation and the release UI have not been tested by this site.
Store, storage and controller problems
| What you see | Next check |
|---|---|
| No Install button / unavailable device | Check regional availability and device compatibility in your store. On Android, the official FAQ also requires Vulkan 1.1. Do not substitute an unofficial APK. |
| Not enough storage | Free space on the phone itself and retry the store or client download. PC storage figures do not apply. |
| App installed but cannot enter | Check current maintenance notices and the network troubleshooting steps in the official mobile FAQ. |
| Missing old character | Compare the linked Pass and server before creating a new character or changing account links. |
| Controller does not work as expected | The chart lists PS5 and Xbox controllers over Bluetooth, EasySMX M20, GameSir G8+, Apple MFi-certified telescopic controllers and GameSir X4 Aileron (Android only). Android telescopic controllers are unsupported on iOS; Switch/Joy-Con and mobile vibration are unsupported. |
