Players Can Install Aniimo Before Regional Servers Open
Pawprint Studio’s free-to-play, open-world creature-collecting game Aniimo is available to pre-download on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox ahead of its September 16, 2026 launch. The pre-download period opened September 14 at 10:00 UTC+8, allowing players to prepare their installations before their regional servers open.
The launch schedule is staggered by region. The Americas server opens September 15 at 22:00 UTC-4, Europe opens September 16 at 02:00 UTC+0, and APAC opens September 16 at 10:00 UTC+8.
What’s Available Now
- PC: Players can use Aniimo’s PC download link to obtain the client. The download file starts automatically, and players must then select Install Now to install the game launcher. At least 40 GB of free storage is required, and an SSD is recommended.
- PlayStation 5: Players can pre-download after purchasing a PlayStation 5 pre-order pack through the PlayStation Store listing. The console version requires 30–35 GB of free storage, and the PlayStation 5 client can only be installed on the console’s internal SSD.
- Xbox: Xbox players can pre-download after purchasing a pre-order pack through the Xbox Store page. The Xbox version also requires 30–35 GB of free storage.
The official information lists the console pre-order packs at about $10 for the Advanced Edition Pack and $19.99 for the Collector’s Edition Pack.
Forward Look
Players who have completed their installation can wait for their regional server’s launch time. Aniimo’s official FAQ says its recommended specifications were updated on September 14 and may change as compatibility is improved, so players should check the latest requirements before launch.
