The highly anticipated action role-playing game from Hypergryph opens its pre-download phase, allowing players to install the game and its resources before the official release. Arknights: Endfield launches worldwide on Jan. 22, 2026 at 11 a.m. UTC+8 simultaneously across PlayStation 5, PC, Android, iOS and Epic Games Store.
Due to significant storage requirements, developers recommend downloading over a stable Wi-Fi connection. Storage needs vary by platform, with PlayStation 5 requiring the most space at 60GB, PC needing 50GB plus an additional 40GB during file extraction, and mobile devices requiring 25GB.
The game supports cross-platform saves, syncing player data under the same account across different devices. This allows players to seamlessly switch between platforms without losing progress.
Players who participated in previous test versions should uninstall older clients before downloading the official release. PlayStation Store pre-order customers can search for the game on PlayStation 5 to begin pre-downloading.
PC players will use the GRYPHLINK launcher to manage their downloads. Those with older GRYPHLINK versions from previous tests must uninstall the old launcher before downloading. New users need to download the GRYPHLINK installation pack, while existing users can access the game through the launcher’s All Games menu.
System requirements vary significantly across platforms. For PC, the minimum specs include an Intel Core i5-9400F processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, and 16GB RAM running Windows 10 or 11 64-bit. Recommended specs call for an Intel Core i7-10700K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, and 16GB RAM. The developers strongly recommend installing on an SSD for optimal performance.
Mobile requirements are equally demanding. Android devices need at least Android 10.0 or HarmonyOS 2.0.0, with Snapdragon 855 or equivalent processors and 6GB RAM minimum. iOS players require iOS 15.0 or higher, with iPhone XS or iPad with A12 chip as the minimum, and 4GB RAM.
Developers acknowledge that game performance, stability and graphics are still being optimized. Running the game on devices below minimum requirements may cause stuttering and frame drops.
