When does Ananta come out on mobile?

On Jan 15, 2027, the same day as every other platform. Apple's store data for the iPhone pre-order gives the expected release as 08:00 UTC, which is midnight Pacific time, 3:00 a.m. in New York, 8:00 a.m. in London and 5:00 p.m. in Tokyo (read Nov 1, 2026). That looks like a date entered without an hour rather than NetEase's plan, and it is two hours earlier than the PlayStation Store's 10:00 UTC; NetEase itself has not announced a launch hour (Release Date and Time). Google Play shows no time.

What phone do I need for Ananta?

NetEase has not said. As of Nov 1, 2026 there is no official device list, minimum chip or memory figure for iOS or Android. The App Store says only "Requires iOS 15.0 or later" for iPhone and iPadOS 15.0 for iPad, a store minimum that NetEase may raise in the final build, and Google Play shows no Android version or device line for the game. Lists of "Ananta mobile requirements" that circulate online are their writers' estimates, not NetEase's. When NetEase publishes figures, they will be added here and on PC System Requirements.

How big is the mobile download?

Unknown. The only figure is the App Store's pre-order package, 1,343,466,496 bytes (about 1.3 GB) for version 0.1.1, which is what Apple holds today, not necessarily what the game will need: NetEase has not said how much data the game adds on first launch or whether the final build will be larger. No size is shown on Google Play (How to Download).

How do I pre-register on mobile?

Open Ananta's page on the App Store and tap Pre-Order, or on Google Play and tap Pre-register; both are free, and the game downloads when it is released. Pre-registering on the official site also counts. Every pre-registration adds to the community milestones, whose rewards are unlocked for everyone; the official counter read 26,007,256 at 16:50 UTC on Nov 1, 2026 (Pre-registration and Rewards).

Is the mobile version the same game?

By NetEase's account, yes. Ananta launches on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS and Android at once with the same content, and its lead producer told Inven that PC, console and mobile share one quality target (Sep 26, 2025). Pocket Gamer, after the Tokyo Game Show 2025 demo, saw "the potential to be a major success on mobile (and beyond)". NetEase has not said whether a phone save carries over to PC or PS5 (Crossplay and Cross-Save), or whether the mobile version supports controllers.

What do the mobile stores say about purchases?

Both phone stores warn of random paid items. The App Store's age rating lists "Loot Boxes" and "Infrequent/Mild Simulated Gambling" among its advisories, and Google Play marks the game "In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items)" (both read Nov 1, 2026). NetEase has said that characters are never sold by chance, and has not said which items are (Monetization, Age Rating).
