Aniimo on iOS — App Store Release Date & iPhone Details
✓ Verified 2026-09-10Official game artwork
Quick answer
Yes — Aniimo is coming to iOS. The App Store listing is already live (app id 6759098797) with an expected release of September 23, 2026, one week after the PC and console launch on September 16. The game is free to download, supports iPhone and iPad, and requires iOS 15.0 or later.
That stagger matters if you want to start alongside PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S players: iPhone and iPad players begin on September 23, 2026. As of September 10, 2026, Apple's listing already confirms the basics — size, age rating, languages, and the in-app purchase catalog — and this page breaks them all down.
When does Aniimo come out on iOS?
The App Store lists Aniimo with an expected release of September 23, 2026. PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S arrive first on September 16, 2026, so iPhone and iPad players get the game exactly one week later — a planned stagger, not a delay.
The listing labels the game Free with In-App Purchases and gives it a 9+ age rating (infrequent cartoon or fantasy violence and contests, plus messaging/chat and user-generated content). The publisher of record is Pawprint Interactive Entertainment Pte. Ltd., the studio behind Aniimo.
Aniimo itself is Pawprint Studio's free-to-play, next-gen creature-catching open-world RPG: you play a Pathfinder on the continent of Idyll, catch creatures called Aniimo with Aniipods, and Twine with them to borrow their abilities for combat, movement, and puzzles. The App Store files it under Roleplaying, and the game supports Game Center.
How to get Aniimo on iPhone and iPad
Installation is the usual App Store flow, with one pre-launch decision worth making — whether to pre-order so the game is ready the moment it releases:
- Open the App Store page: apps.apple.com/app/aniimo/id6759098797 — or search "Aniimo" in the App Store.
- Before September 23, 2026, use the pre-order option (where available in your region) so the game is ready on launch day.
- On or after September 23, 2026, install the client — 634.1 MB at the time of the listing — and log in.
- Claim your launch rewards from the in-game mailbox; rewards arrive automatically, with no codes involved.
Can you play Aniimo on iOS before September 23?
No. The global closed beta ended in July 2026, and beta access required an invite, so there is no public iOS build before launch. Small-scale iPhone tests ran during development, but those were limited, invite-only events — not something you can join today.
Be wary of any offer for an "iOS early access slot" or a TestFlight invite from unofficial channels. The next playable moment for iPhone and iPad players is the September 23, 2026 release itself.
Device requirements and app details
The listed requirements are modest on paper: iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad. That covers a wide range of devices, though Pawprint Studio has not published performance tiers or a recommended-device list (to be confirmed). A dense open world like this will still lean on newer hardware, so temper expectations on older phones.
| Detail | Listed value |
|---|---|
| App Store ID | id6759098797 |
| Expected release | September 23, 2026 |
| Price | Free (in-app purchases) |
| Size at listing | 634.1 MB |
| Compatibility | iOS 15.0+ (iPhone), iPadOS 15.0+ (iPad) |
| Age rating | 9+ |
| Languages | English + 12 more, incl. Simplified Chinese |
| Extras | Game Center support |
Two practical notes on the size figure: 634.1 MB is the listing value as of verification, and updates after launch can change it, so keep some headroom on your device. And since the compatibility line is version-based, devices stuck on older iOS versions cannot install the game at all.
What the iOS in-app purchases include
Apple's listing shows the top-up catalog: Lumin Crystals in packs from 60 ($0.99) up to 6,480 ($99.99), a Monthly Pass at $4.99, and handbook bundles from $9.99 to $19.99 — all US prices, with regional pricing elsewhere. Everything is optional in a free-to-play game; no purchase is required to play.
What those names mean in practice has not been explained beyond the listing itself (to be confirmed): the catalog shows a Monthly Pass, crystal tiers, and handbook bundles, but the studio has not detailed what each grants in-game. Treat any pre-launch "IAP guide" as guesswork.
Controllers, crossplay, and progression
Controller support on iOS is not mentioned in the App Store listing, so it remains unconfirmed (to be confirmed); controller details should surface in launch notes if supported. Cross-platform progression — carrying your account between iOS, Android, PC, and consoles — has also not been detailed officially (to be confirmed).
Whether iPhone players share lobbies with PC, PS5, and Xbox players is covered in depth on our Aniimo crossplay page. Expect clarity when the September 23, 2026 launch notes arrive — this page will be updated the same day.
