The September 14 FAQ confirms cross-platform progress within one server. Servers keep separate data. Console players must handle account linking on their first login; PS5 server assignment follows the PSN account region.
In this guide
PC and console server opening times
The September 14 announcement publishes these three equivalent times. They are scheduled openings, not a live service-status report. Its America label is singular; Steam’s region label is Americas.
| Official server label | Scheduled opening |
|---|---|
| Aniimo-America | 15 September 2026 · 22:00 UTC−4 |
| Aniimo-Apac | 16 September 2026 · 10:00 UTC+8 |
| Aniimo-Europe | 16 September 2026 · 02:00 UTC+0 |

Link the existing account before starting on console
Console: the first-login popup is the only opportunity to link an existing Aniimo Pass. Skipping creates a new Pass that cannot subsequently link to an existing one. PS5 players should match their existing character’s server to their PSN region before linking.
Steam: link the Pass email at login or later through Email Link. Claim pre-order items on the purchasing console first; linked accounts can use them across platforms on the same server.

The region names shown by Steam
Use the exact region name when coordinating with friends. The labels below are a storefront reference, not a live population report, latency measurement or exhaustive list of all platforms’ server choices.
| Listed international region | What to confirm in the client |
|---|---|
| Aniimo-Americas | Availability and the same selection for your group |
| Aniimo-Europe | Availability and the same selection for your group |
| Aniimo-Apac | Availability and the same selection for your group |

Four questions that should not be merged
Cross-play asks whether people on different platforms can play together. Cross-save asks whether progress follows you. Account linking asks which identities are connected. A transfer asks whether an existing character or entitlement can move. One yes does not answer the other three.
Before creating a second account, identify which of those you actually need. A player moving from PC to mobile needs a progress answer; two friends on different devices need a multiplayer answer. Send the specific question to the current official guidance instead of searching only for a broad ‘cross-platform’ label.
| Need | Question to verify |
|---|---|
| Play with a friend on another device | Does this platform pair support this mode together? |
| Continue my character elsewhere | Does progress transfer through the account I use? |
| Change region | Is a transfer supported, and what moves? |
| Use a purchase on another storefront | Does that entitlement apply there? |
Before diagnosing an invite failure
Compare the mode, region, current client version and the account identities used for the invitation. Record the exact error text if the client provides one. These checks give an official support request something concrete to investigate.
Do not recreate characters or buy another item as an experimental fix unless the current instructions explain why it is necessary. First distinguish a mismatched group setup from a temporary availability issue. This reference does not provide a live server-status feed.
