Aniimo Release Date: September 16 and September 23
Aniimo launched on PC and consoles on September 16, 2026 and on mobile September 23; the PC and console unlock was 10:00 UTC+8.

Aniimo launched worldwide on September 16, 2026 for PC and consoles, and mobile followed on September 23, 2026. The Xbox store page puts the PC and console unlock at 10:00 (UTC+8), with pre-orders closing at 09:59 (UTC+8) that day. If Steam shows you Sep 15, that is the storefront display, not a change of plan.
Launch dates by platform
| Platform | Date | Store page |
|---|---|---|
| PC — Steam | 2026-09-16 (store shows Sep 15) | Steam |
| PC — Epic Games Store | 2026-09-16 | Epic Games Store |
| PC — Microsoft Store | 2026-09-16 | Microsoft Store |
| PlayStation 5 | 2026-09-16 | PlayStation Store |
| Xbox Series X|S | 2026-09-16 | Xbox Store |
| iPhone / iPad | 2026-09-23 | App Store |
| Android phones | 2026-09-23 | Google Play |
The official announcement on August 26, 2026 confirmed both dates and stated that PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC all arrive together on September 16.
Why Steam shows Sep 15
Steam’s store page lists Sep 15 as the release date, while the official news post on that same page says “Aniimo launches on September 16, 2026!”. The storefront display and the global announcement disagree, so treat September 16 as the announced date and your own store button as the thing that actually unlocks.
Converting 10:00 (UTC+8) to your time
- 10:00 UTC+8 = 02:00 UTC
- US Pacific (PDT) = 19:00 the previous day
- Central European Summer Time = 04:00 the same day
That timestamp comes from the Xbox pre-order page. Other stores do not publish the same one, so follow whatever your store tells you.
Three things to do before launch
- Set up your account. All the store links above, plus the official site, are on aniimo.com. Registering early saves you the queue on day one.
- Pre-register on the official site. The official site says pre-registration grants a mysterious Susuta egg, and logging in over several days adds a random Perfect egg.
- Decide where you are installing. Per-platform steps are in the download guide.
Mobile arrives a week after PC and consoles. The developers have not explained the gap.
Platform support, including the Switch and Mac situation, is on the platforms page. For what anything costs, see Aniimo price.
