The short answer before you choose a platform
Crossplay
Players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, iOS and Android are intended to share multiplayer activities.
Friends still need characters in the same service region before they can find and invite one another.
Cross-progression
PC and mobile officially share the same save data, so signing into mobile with your PC account continues that exact character.
PS5, Xbox, Steam and Epic go through the one time console or platform account link instead. Complete that prompt correctly the first time, since players have reported landing on a new character when it is skipped or mismatched.
Account linking
A platform profile authorizes its storefront, while the Aniimo game account identifies the character and progress you mean to keep.
Signing into the wrong game account or creating a new character first can leave two separate profiles to untangle.
Server region
America, Europe and APAC are separate service regions.
The same account can have characters on multiple servers, but no confirmed transfer moves an existing character between them.
Store entitlement
A pre-order or platform bonus begins on the storefront account that bought or earned it.
Use that storefront build first, then sign into the intended Aniimo account and region before claiming.
Every platform Aniimo runs on
Aniimo runs on more storefronts and services than the launch week headlines cover. Confirm what each platform needs before you install.
| Platform | What you need | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | A Steam account | Free to play. Achievements and cloud saves run through Steam. |
| Epic Games Store | An Epic Games account | Listed for cross platform multiplayer with Steam, PS5 and Xbox. |
| Official PC launcher | An Aniimo account, no storefront needed | The standalone Windows client from the official site. |
| PlayStation 5 | A PlayStation Network account | Server region follows the account used to sign in. |
| Xbox Series X|S | An Xbox or Microsoft account | Carries the Xbox Play Anywhere badge and is included with Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium and Ultimate. |
| Xbox handheld devices | The same Xbox or Microsoft account | Listed as optimized for handhelds on the official Xbox store page. |
| NVIDIA GeForce NOW | A GeForce NOW membership plus a PC storefront account | Streams Aniimo to a PC, SHIELD TV, Chromebook or Amazon Firestick without a local install. |
| iOS and Android | An Aniimo account, from September 23 | Shares the same save data as the PC version. |

Who can play together through crossplay
The launch lineup covers the official PC client and PC storefront versions, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox cloud gaming, iOS and Android. Steam, Epic and Xbox storefronts label Aniimo for cross-platform multiplayer, and Pawprint positions the game as a shared PC, console and mobile service. Platform is therefore not the main party boundary. Server region is.
- Named in a launch bullet
- Covered by the general cross-platform statement
| PlatformPlatform | PC | PlayStation 5 | Xbox | Mobile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PC | - | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| PlayStation 5 | Yes | - | Yes | Yes |
| Xbox | Yes | Yes | - | Yes |
| Mobile | Yes | Yes | Yes | - |
Once the accounts can see each other, the multiplayer and co-op guide explains host-owned story progress, open-world catches, party slots and the three duo Sanctums. Those session rules are separate from platform crossplay.
How cross-progression and account linking should work
Treat the Aniimo login as the center of the account and each Steam, Epic, Microsoft, PlayStation, Apple or Google profile as a connected channel. The official launch announcement confirms PC and mobile share the same data, so an existing PC character continues on mobile under the same login. Console and other PC storefronts link through a separate one time prompt instead of an automatic sync. Launch rewards use the same-account model too: the pre-launch web event sends its reward when the event email matches the email used to create the first launch character.
- 1Choose the account you will keep
Use the email or login method tied to pre-registration, the pre-launch web event and any eligible beta keepsake. Write down the exact sign-in method, not only the display name.
- 2Create the first character once
Pick the server where your regular party will play and finish character creation on that account. Record the character name, account ID and server shown in-game.
- 3Link from the intended platform profile
Sign into the correct Steam, Epic, Microsoft, PlayStation, Apple or Google profile, then choose the existing-account path. Do not choose Create Account merely because the second device presents it first.
- 4Verify before playing
The same character, server, roster and currency balances should appear. If the client opens character creation instead, stop before making a second profile and use in-game Support.
- 5Test with a low-risk action
Claim ordinary mail or change one harmless setting, close the client, and confirm the result appears on the other device before buying currency or claiming a one-time entitlement.

Cross-progression carries the account state, not a promise that every platform storefront treats paid currency, subscriptions or exclusive cosmetics identically. Check the item description and linking screen before assuming a purchase made through one store can be bought, refunded or re-claimed through another.
How to request help with a failed Steam or console link
Pawprint's September 30 Dev Dispatch gives a dedicated Support ticket route for failed Steam, PSN or Xbox account links. Submit the request privately to official Customer Support with the identifiers below.
- 1Open official Customer Support
Log in to the Customer Support page, then open Quick Support Links and choose Account Issues.
- 2Choose both relinking categories
Select Steam Relink (PSN/Xbox) for both the second-level category and the third-level category.
- 3Submit the identifiers privately
Fill in the ticket with the platform ID, contacting account details and account to unlink listed below. Keep the contacting UID separate from the UID to unlink.
| Ticket field | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Platform ID to unlink | The platform identifier, such as the Steam ID to unlink. |
| Contacting UID | The UID of the account you are using to contact Support. |
| Email linked to the contacting UID | The email linked to that contacting account. |
| UID to unlink | The UID of the Aniimo account you want the platform unlinked from. |
| Platform linked to the UID to unlink | The platform currently linked to that target UID. |
Link a beta test account without losing it
Aniimo separates the account you sign in with from the character it holds, and the official beta reward notice sets out four cases for making the two match. Pick the case that fits before you change anything in Settings.
- Case 1, the standard path: sign in with the exact email address you used for the tests. Enter it manually, request a verification code and log in with that code instead of a third party button.
- Case 2, third party login with no character yet: after logging in, open Login Screen, then Account Center, then Account Management, then Email, and link your beta test email there.
- Case 3, third party login with a character you can afford to lose: in Settings, open Account, link an unrelated email under Mailbox, unlink the third party account, log out, then log in again with your beta test email.
- Case 4, go straight to Customer Support: use this path if you already have a character you cannot afford to lose, if you tested through Steam and received rewards, or if the steps above do not resolve it.
The one time console link, friends and account notices
Every console build shows a one time prompt to connect an existing Aniimo account before it lets you create a character. What you choose there is hard to undo, so read it once, carefully, before pressing anything.
If the client crashes right as you reach server selection on PC, see the error codes and troubleshooting guide; completing the account link prompt before you open server select is the most common fix.
Add friends by UID rather than a friend code. Open Friends, choose Add Friend and enter the UID from the other player's screen; both accounts still need to be on the same server region to see each other.
How to claim an Xbox pre-order on PC
You do not need an Xbox console for the Microsoft version. Aniimo is listed for both PC and Xbox Series X|S and carries the Xbox Play Anywhere badge. Microsoft says Play Anywhere content includes game add-ons, season passes, consumables and in-game unlocks across Xbox console and the Xbox PC app.
- 1Buy with the Microsoft account you will use
Complete the digital pre-order in the Microsoft Store or Xbox app on Windows and keep the receipt. Confirm Aniimo and the correct pack appear in that account order history.
- 2Install the Xbox PC version
Open the Xbox app on Windows and install Aniimo from that Microsoft account library. The Steam, Epic and standalone PC clients do not establish the Microsoft Store entitlement.
- 3Use your established Aniimo login
Sign into the game account and server that should keep the reward. If the client offers a new character instead of the expected one, stop before claiming anything.
- 4Claim and verify in-game
Open the pack or mail only after the correct character is visible. Photograph the reward screen and keep the order number until the item also appears wherever you plan to play next.
Which server region should you pick
You live in North, Central or South America, or your established group plays there.
Aniimo-America. Use your group over geography if regular co-op matters more than the lowest possible latency.
You live in Europe, Africa or a nearby area and do not already have a group elsewhere.
Aniimo-Europe. Choose the closest stable region for responsive combat and matchmaking.
You live in Asia-Pacific or your established group plays there.
Aniimo-APAC. Some notices shorten this region to AP, so match the server by label rather than by wording.
If you mostly play solo, choose the nearest region. If you have a fixed friend group, agree on one region before anyone creates a main character. A slightly higher ping is usually less disruptive than splitting a long-term group across separate character databases.
Region choice does not change the open-world route itself. The Aniimo beginner guide and controls and settings guide remain useful on every server, while event schedules and maintenance windows may be displayed in different time zones. Track your own resets against the reset timers tool once you have picked a region.
The region you pick also sets your reset clock. Aniimo-America runs on UTC-4, Aniimo-Europe on UTC+0 and Aniimo-APAC on UTC+8, and each offset is fixed: none of the three follows daylight saving, so a 04:00 daily reset lands at the same wall-clock hour on your server all year. Season Part boundaries are the one exception, because they fall on a single global instant that every region reaches at its own local time.
Platform trophies and in-game Badges are two separate lists, and which one you can earn depends on the platform you play on rather than the region you picked. The achievement and trophy roadmap sets out both lists and what each entry asks for.
Can you change region later
The account model allows characters on more than one server. Pawprint's beta keepsake FAQ even explained what happens when one account has characters on multiple live servers. That does not mean the same character moves between those servers.

Secure your account
- 1Protect the email first
Use a unique email password and enable two-step verification with the email provider. Email verification codes can be enough to enter a game account, so the mailbox is the most important recovery key.
- 2Protect every connected platform
Turn on two-factor authentication for Steam, Epic, Microsoft, PlayStation, Apple and Google accounts you may connect. Review signed-in devices and remove sessions you do not recognize.
- 3Save the account map
Record the Aniimo email or login method, account ID, character name, server, connected platform usernames and purchase receipts in a private password manager.
- 4Use official entry points
Install only from Aniimo's official site or the platform stores. Never buy beta access, account links, characters or pre-order claims from another player.
- 5Keep codes private
Support, moderators and other players do not need an email verification code, password, recovery code or full receipt number. Share only the minimum account ID requested inside official Support.
Frequently asked
How do I request help with a failed Steam, PSN or Xbox account link?
Log in to official Customer Support, open Quick Support Links and choose Account Issues. Select Steam Relink (PSN/Xbox) for both the second-level and third-level categories. Submit the platform ID to unlink, your contacting UID and its linked email, the UID to unlink and the platform currently linked to that UID. Keep these details private in the Support ticket.
Does Aniimo support crossplay between PC, console and mobile?
Yes. Aniimo is positioned for cross-platform multiplayer across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android. Friends should create characters in the same server region before trying to play together.
Does Aniimo have cross-progression?
Between PC and mobile, yes. The official launch announcement confirms PC and mobile share the same save data, so signing into mobile with your PC account continues that exact character. PS5, Xbox, Steam and Epic link through the separate one time console or platform prompt instead, so verify the existing character before creating or claiming anything on a second platform.
Can I claim an Xbox Aniimo pre-order pack on PC?
Yes, through the Xbox app on Windows. Aniimo is an Xbox Play Anywhere title listed for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Use the Microsoft account that bought the pack, install the Xbox PC version, then claim it on the intended Aniimo account and server.
Can I move my Aniimo character to another server region?
No character-transfer policy is confirmed. One account can hold characters on multiple servers, but choosing another region should be treated as starting separate progress until Pawprint announces a transfer service.
