Updated for the September 23 mobile launch, re-checked the pre-order packs as still redemption-only on September 27, and added the 40 million pre-registration figure
1-Aniimo launched as a free-to-play title on September 16, 2026, at 10:00 (UTC+8) on PC, consoles and Xbox cloud gaming, and the mobile versions are scheduled for September 23, 2026. Pre-orders opened about a month ahead of that first date and have since closed. 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.1+Aniimo launched as a free-to-play title on September 16, 2026, at 10:00 (UTC+8) on PC, consoles and Xbox cloud gaming, and the iOS and Android versions followed on September 23, 2026.

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.66StorefrontBase GameAdvanced EditionCollector's EditionSteamFreeNot soldNot soldEpic Games StoreFreeNot confirmedNot confirmedMicrosoft and Xbox StoreFreeSoldSoldPlayStation StoreFreeSoldSoldApp StoreFreeNot listed separatelyNot listed separatelyGoogle PlayFreeNot listed separatelyNot listed separately8-There is also no product literally named a Standard Edition anywhere. The free base game is simply Aniimo. The Android listing went live ahead of the September 23 mobile release and, like the iOS one, carries neither a pre-order nor a paid pack, and as of September 17, 2026 the Android listing publishes no download count and no user rating.8+There is also no product literally named a Standard Edition anywhere.

Since the mobile launch the iOS store sells Lumin Crystals, the Companion Handbook tiers and a Monthly Pass as in-app purchases, but still no pre-order pack as of September 27, 2026.99Pre-Order Timeline1111Pre-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 closed on September 16, 2026 at 09:59 (UTC+8), one minute before the game went live.1313Pre-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.1515The packs did not convert into ordinary purchases when the window shut. As of September 17, 2026 both products still carry their pre-order titles on the console catalogue, both report a list price of zero, and neither offers a purchase action: what they offer is redemption and licence handling, with the redemption window opening at the launch instant. Anyone who bought during the campaign can still claim; nobody can buy one now.16+The packs did not convert into ordinary purchases when the window shut.

Since launch the Xbox and iOS stores have sold the Advanced and Collector's Handbooks on their own, at the same $9.99 and $19.99, without the accessory and other pack contents; see Companion Handbook and Passes.19+Editions1921EditionUSDGBPEURJPYAdvanced Edition$9.99£7.99€9.99¥1,500Collector's Edition$19.99£18.99€23.99¥3,00021-Those are the prices the pre-order campaign ran at.

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.3234PlatformExclusive Pre-Order AccessoryPlayStationFluffy FriendXboxDoggo Dude3436Companion Handbook3537Companion 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.3739The console listings give each pack a second name for the tier it unlocks: the Advanced Edition grants the in-game Premium Pass and the Collector's Edition grants the in-game Collector's Pass, with the Companion Handbook as the item that activates it. The exclusive Prismana egg inside the Handbook rotates with each version, so the creature received depends on which version it was redeemed in. A player can hold several redemption cards at once but only one paid tier per version, unused redemption items do not expire and roll forward, and upgrading from the Advanced tier to the Collector's tier inside one period is a paid upgrade. The full picture is on Companion Handbook and Passes, and the premium currency the store runs on is covered on Lumin Crystals and Currencies.3941Pre-Registration Rewards4143Separately from the paid packs, the free pre-registration campaign cleared all four of its published milestone tiers before launch, with global sign-ups passing 30 million during the week of September 9, 2026.44+Separately from the paid packs, the free pre-registration campaign cleared all four of its published milestone tiers before launch, with global sign-ups passing 30 million during the week of September 9, 2026 and 40 million by the mobile launch on September 23.4345MilestoneReward10 millionGlimmer x20015 millionAniipod Ultra x220 millionCompanion Promise limited avatar frame30 millionSunlit Meadow limited outfit4547Further pre-registration benefits announced alongside those tiers include a free Prismana Form Aniimo of the player's choice on reaching the Grade I 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.4648For the launch date announcement and the closed beta history, see Development; the game's convention appearances in the run-up to release are collected on Events and Showcases.
