Aniimo launches on Xbox with more than 200 creatures
Aniimo is now free to play on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, and Game Pass, with more than 200 creatures available at launch.
Aniimo officially launched on September 15, 2026, with more than 200 collectible creatures available at launch. The free-to-play, next-generation creature-catching open-world RPG is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, and Xbox Game Pass. Pawprint Studio details the launch additions in its launch announcement on Xbox Wire.
The Irisalis encounter flow has been redesigned across capture, the gameplay experience, and the encounter ritual. That structure will also form the foundation for future Legendary Aniimo events.
Changes beyond the creature roster
Training now includes a simplified Held Item System, increased Star Dust drop rates, and progression caps that unlock alongside an Aniimo's level progression. The Homeland map has also been expanded with additional features, activities, and interactive elements.
Controls were optimized for mobile devices and gamepads across all platforms. The main storyline now includes multilingual voice acting, alongside improved translation quality across supported languages.
Exploration, battles, and an RV
Aniimo's Egg Heist mode is a PVEVP activity built around three-player teams, real-time searches, and battles in the Lost Isles. Each Pathfinder also owns a personal RV on Idyll, where they can meet and interact with other players. Returning to Homeland lets players plant crops, build decorations, and arrange their space with Aniimo.
