Key Highlights:
- Arknights Endfield releases on January 21 or 22, 2026 depending on where you live.
- The game also has a preload, whose process differs from platform to platform.
- The game will also be available for the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
The much anticipated Arknights Endfield finally makes its way to a global release later this week. Endfield takes on factory simulation elements, a bold departure from its tower defense roots, and also has beautiful visuals to complement it.
The team at Hypergryph have also prepared a preload for players ahead of the game’s launch, though it differs from system to system.

Arknights Endfield launches globally on January 21, 2026 at around 5 PM PST (Los Angeles time). Of course, the actual release date and time for your region will vary, on account of time zones.
That being said, here’s a few ‘translated’ release timings:
| Region | Adjusted Date | Adjusted Time |
| Los Angeles (PST) | Jan 21, 2026 | 5:00 PM |
| New York (EST) | Jan 21, 2026 | 8:00 PM |
| London (GMT) | Jan 22, 2026 | 1:00 AM |
| Beijing/HK (CST) | Jan 22, 2026 | 9:00 AM |
| Tokyo (JST) | Jan 22, 2026 | 10:00 AM |
These timings reflect when the server goes online. However, there always might be a delay (on account of the floodgates opening and having a lot of players trying to log in at once), so it might be worth retrying your login attempts.

As far as the official, supported platforms go, we have the following:
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 5 Pro (enhanced port!)
- PC (Epic Games Store and Standalone Launcher)

- iOS
You’ll want a relatively beefy phone to run Arknights Endfield, or at the very least drop it down to a lowered graphical setting.
How to Pre Load Arknights Endfield
The pre load for Arknights Endfield is live, and the whole process is different for each platform.
PC
Here’s how to pre load on PCs (Windows):
- Head to the Epic Games Store client.
- Search for Arknights Endfield.
- Add the game to your library. You won’t be charged for this order since it is a free to play game.
- Head to your game library and hit Install to start the pre loading process.
- Alternatively, download the GRYPHLINK launcher from the official website.
- Install the program, and login with your account. Register an account if you don’t have one already.
- Select Arknights Endfield and hit the Download button to begin the pre load.
PlayStation 5
The pre order situation in PlayStation 5 is a bit different. For starters, you cannot pre load the free to play version of the game at all, and will have to wait until it actually releases to begin downloading.
However, those who have purchased the $9.99 pre order bundle will be able to download the game ahead of time, in addition to receiving a bunch of in game goodies such as pulls.
Android
Here’s how to preload the game on Android devices:
- Fire up the Play Store.
- Search for Arknights Endfield and head on over to the game’s landing page.
- Hit the Install button to begin the process.
- Fire up the app and hit the download button to begin pre loading.
iOS
Here’s how to preload on iOS devices:
- Fire up the App Store.
- Search for Arknights Endfield and make your way to the game’s landing page.
- Hit the Get button and begin the initial download.
- Fire up the app to begin the preload process.
Either way, make sure you have enough free space on your platform of choice before downloading Arknights Endfield.
