Pre-Orders and Editions

Aniimo launches as a free-to-play title on September 16, 2026, at 10:00 (UTC+8) on PC, consoles and Xbox cloud gaming, with the mobile versions following on September 23, 2026. Pre-orders opened about a month ahead of that first date. The base game costs nothing on every platform, and two paid packs sit alongside it, bundling the game's battle pass with cosmetic and progression extras. This page collects the confirmed editions, their prices, and the platform pre-order bonuses; the wider release history lives on Development.

Where the Paid Packs Are Sold

This is the first thing to know, because it is easy to get wrong: the paid packs are a console-storefront offer. They are sold on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft and Xbox Store, and they are not sold on Steam at all. A Steam search for the game returns a single free entry with no edition or add-on products attached.

There is also no product literally named a Standard Edition anywhere. The free base game is simply Aniimo.

Pre-Order Timeline

Pre-orders went live on the PlayStation Store on August 13, 2026, with Xbox following on August 14, and the studio announced the launch date through the same campaign. The pre-order window closes on September 16, 2026 at 09:59 (UTC+8), one minute before the game goes live.

Pre-ordering is separate from the free pre-registration campaign and its milestone rewards; the packs are optional purchases on top of a game that remains free-to-play with in-app purchases.

Editions

Advanced Edition

Collector's Edition

Platform Pre-Order Bonuses

The accessory is swapped by platform rather than added to. A PlayStation purchase includes Fluffy Friend and only Fluffy Friend; an Xbox purchase includes Doggo Dude and only Doggo Dude. Buying one edition does not grant both.

Companion Handbook

Companion Handbook is the game's name for its battle pass. It is an in-game item, and once redeemed it stays active until the end of the current version, so it is version-scoped rather than permanent. The exclusive Prismana egg inside it can also vary by version, with the actual creature received depending on which version the handbook was redeemed in.

Pre-Registration Rewards

Separately from the paid packs, the free pre-registration campaign cleared all four of its published milestone tiers ahead of launch, with global sign-ups passing 30 million.

Further pre-registration benefits announced alongside those tiers include a free Prismana Form Aniimo of the player's choice on reaching the Junior Wayfarer rank, accessories for hitting Aniilog milestones, catching items including the Sparkling Cube, Aniipod Ultra and Tumbler, a Susuta egg for registering through the official site, a random Perfect Egg for multi-day logins, and four outfits earned through story quests, Homeland features and cumulative check-ins.
