Platform Availability Notes
Current source boundary: The approved fact set confirms Windows PC, PS5, and Xbox pre-download paths and a September 23 mobile release date, but it does not record complete mobile or console storage and device requirements. Recheck the current official platform notices before installing.
Why the table is intentionally limited: The current approved fact set confirms PC storage and SSD guidance, not a complete device matrix. This keeps the player answer accurate until the latest official platform requirements are rechecked.
PC Client Download
The verified PC store page in this review is Steam. Use the current official listing for any other platform or client.

Account Architecture
Server Selection & Cross-Platform Progress
To prevent loss of progression or inability to play with friends, understand the official server data boundaries before creating your first character.
1. Same-Server Progress
The official pre-download announcement says progress is shared across PC, console, and mobile when you use the same server.
2. Different Servers Are Independent
The same announcement says data on different servers is independent. The current approved fact set does not confirm cross-server transfer or friend matching, so do not assume either is available.
3. Account Binding Boundary
The current approved fact set does not confirm the exact Steam, email, or console binding flow. Recheck the latest official account guidance before switching devices, and do not assume guest profiles can be merged.

Official Wiki Structure: The official Aniimo Wiki shows fields such as Element, Role, Stage, and Mobility. These fields can support comparison; this page does not claim a best team or complete roster.
