What you install

Aniimo launched on Windows PC through Steam and Epic, plus console and later mobile. This guide covers the Steam Windows path used by the Nexrivium play link. PC and mobile can share progress when you sign in with the same account, according to the official launch notice.

Steam lists kernel-level anti-cheat (NEP) and a third-party EULA. Read those product conditions before downloading.

Install Aniimo on Steam (Windows)

  1. Open the Windows Steam client and sign in to the account you intend to keep.
  2. Open Aniimo (Steam app 4126040) from the partner link on this page or the Steam store.
  3. Choose an install drive with at least 40 GB free; prefer an SSD.
  4. Finish the download and any first-time updates before launch.
  5. At first launch, complete account creation or login and accept the in-game terms shown by the client.

First session checklist

  • Use one Pathfinder identity and keep login details consistent if you later open mobile.
  • Confirm language and controls before long exploration sessions.
  • Treat advertised login gifts and catch events as in-game notices — they are not granted by clicking PLAY FREE.
