Aniimo Steam Listing — Store Info, Wishlist and Unlock Details

Verified 2026-09-10Official game artwork

Quick answer

Yes — Aniimo has an official Steam page at store.steampowered.com/app/4126040, listed under developer and publisher Pawprint Studio with the Free To Play genre. As of September 10, 2026 the game cannot be installed yet: the page is in wishlist mode ahead of the September 16, 2026 launch.

Steam is one of two official PC stores — Epic is the other — and its listing is the most detailed source for requirements, languages, and features. This page breaks down everything shown on the Aniimo Steam listing, how to wishlist before unlock, and why the date reads September 15 instead of 16.

Is Aniimo really on Steam?

Yes, and the page is fully built out rather than a placeholder. It carries the official description — a free-to-play, next-gen creature-catching open-world RPG set on the continent of Idyll — along with trailers, screenshots, and the Pawprint Studio developer and publisher credits. Aniimo's Discord, X, YouTube, and other official socials are all linked from it.

Popular user tags mirror the pitch: Open World, Creature Collector, Online Co-Op, PvP, Collectathon, and Story Rich. The genre row lists seven genres at once, from Action and RPG to Massively Multiplayer and Free To Play.

What the About section reveals

The About copy describes the full gameplay loop: catch Aniimo with Aniipods, set traps, and time your catch, with unique creatures appearing based on the environment, weather, phenomena, and time of day. Most Aniimo can evolve, and the Twine mechanic lets you effectively become any creature you collect, using its skills in battles and puzzles.

It also confirms the multiplayer hooks: the 3-player PvEvP mode Egg Heist in the Lost Isles, and Homeland, where each Pathfinder parks a personal RV at a campsite to farm crops, place decorations, and hang out with other players. A sky-floating metropolis serves as the hub for meeting fellow Pathfinders.

Aniimo Steam release date and unlock time

Steam shows a planned release date of September 15, 2026, which looks off by a day. Valve's storefront rolls dates over in its own timezone, while Pawprint Studio's announcement and the PlayStation Store's launch text both point to September 16, 2026, at 10:00 (UTC+8) — 02:00 UTC. This page uses the official September 16 date.

As of September 10, 2026, the store banner reads that the game plans to unlock in roughly five days and asks players to wishlist for a notification. There is nothing to buy or install until that timer ends — Aniimo is free to play, so the page turns into a straight install at launch.

If you open the page after the countdown has already hit zero, the wishlist prompt will simply be replaced by a play-and-install button. Nothing else about the listing needs action before that moment.

How to wishlist Aniimo on Steam

  1. Sign in to your Steam account in the client or browser.
  2. Open store.steampowered.com/app/4126040.
  3. Click the green Add to Wishlist button under the trailer.
  4. Leave notifications on — Steam pings you and sends an email when the game unlocks.

Wishlisting is more than a reminder. Launch-week visibility on Steam is driven heavily by wishlist counts, so adding Aniimo is also the easiest free way to support the game. You will automatically get the launch-day notification without checking the page manually.

The page's news hub is worth a follow too. Pawprint Studio posted an August 26, 2026 reminder — "Aniimo launches on September 16, 2026! Wishlist now!" — followed by a September 3, 2026 letter from the dev team thanking its testing community. The Community Hub discussions will be the main launch-day troubleshooting spot.

Features confirmed on the Aniimo Steam listing

  • Single-player and online play: co-op, PvP, and cross-platform multiplayer
  • Steam Achievements and Family Sharing
  • In-app purchases and in-game chat, flagged as interactive elements
  • Third-party EULA: installing requires agreeing to the Aniimo EULA
  • Three server regions: Aniimo-Americas, Aniimo-Europe, Aniimo-Apac

The multiplayer spread matters most for PC players: cross-platform multiplayer is listed right on Steam, so PC and console players are expected to share servers. Account-level details such as cross-progression have not been fully explained yet (to be confirmed).

Because the game has not launched, the listing shows no user reviews yet, and Steam is still in its "learning about this game" phase. Review scores, curator takes, and player counts will only fill in after September 16, 2026.

Steam system requirements and languages

Both requirement tiers call for 45 GB of storage, DirectX 11, and a broadband connection. Here is the full spread from the listing:
