How to Access the Aniimo Beta
How to sign up for the Aniimo Global Closed Beta through the only legitimate channel, plus what a pre-launch test does and does not guarantee.
So you want in early. The good news: there is a way to play Aniimo before the Q3 2026 launch, and that way is the Global Closed Beta. The honest news: getting in is not guaranteed, and a beta is not the finished game. FunPlus has run four test phases so far, the only legitimate sign-up channel is the official Aniimo site, and a beta will not carry your progress to launch. This page is the no-hype walkthrough, pinned to official sources, with the unknowns said out loud.
Everything here is sourced from official communications only. Where FunPlus has not stated something, you will see it flagged as reported / not officially confirmed, never guessed.
The short version
- A test phase is open right now (start here) : the Global Closed Beta is the live opportunity, and sign-ups go through the official site. There is no other legitimate way in. The June 7, 2026 announcement opened sign-ups. A much larger launch roster is reported (a 200+ figure has circulated), though it is not yet pinned to an official source we can link Community.
- How invites actually work : FunPlus has not disclosed how Aniimo beta invitations are distributed, so assume nothing is guaranteed. Pre-registering may help, but it has not been confirmed to grant access. Treat that as reported, not fact.
- What a beta is not : a pre-launch test is not the launch game, and it is not early access you keep. Progress typically wipes, and FunPlus has not confirmed save migration for Aniimo. Go in for the preview, not for a head start.
Confirmed beta phases
Here is every public or closed test FunPlus has officially confirmed for Aniimo. The first three are done; the fourth is the one you can act on today.
| Phase | Dates | Platforms | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed Beta 1 | 2025-07-04 to 2025-07-10 | PC | Completed |
| iOS Technical Test (US) | Nov 2025, 3-day test | iOS (TestFlight) | Completed |
| Paws Up: Closed Beta 2 | 2026-01-23 to 2026-02-08 | PC, iOS (TestFlight) | Completed |
| Global Closed Beta | from Summer 2026 | PC (Steam), iOS, Android | Sign-ups open (since June 7, 2026); larger launch roster reported (200+, not yet officially sourced) |
The “Summer 2026” window and the platform list come straight from the FunPlus launch-window press release and the June 7 sign-up announcement. You can see the same phases dated on our full roadmap.
What is actually confirmed about sign-up
This is the part where I separate what FunPlus has stated from what the community assumes. Take only the confirmed line as gospel.
- The sign-up channel : it is open at the official site. That much is confirmed. What is not confirmed is whether pre-registered accounts get priority beta invites, so I would register anyway: the downside is zero, and you do not lose anything by being on the list early.
- The invitation method : FunPlus has not disclosed how Aniimo beta invites are distributed. Anyone telling you the exact selection rule is guessing. Treat the mechanism as reported / not officially confirmed.
- Client and region : across the past Aniimo tests, the platforms used have been PC, iOS (TestFlight), PC (Steam), iOS and Android, per the Steam page and the launch-window press release. Past Closed Beta 2 recruitment closed on a hard deadline (Jan 20, 23:59 UTC+8), so when the Global Closed Beta opens its recruitment window, expect a similar cutoff and do not leave it to the last day.
Should you chase the beta?
Here is my honest take, fenced off from the facts above.
- Chase it if you enjoy testing rough builds, reporting bugs and previewing systems early, and you accept that the build is incomplete and your progress will likely be wiped. If poking at an unfinished game and shaping it through feedback sounds fun to you, the beta is genuinely worth your time.
- Skip it if you want the finished game. A beta will not give you a head start that carries to launch, so waiting costs you nothing but a preview. There is no penalty, in my view, for holding out for the real Q3 2026 release.
Common mistakes to avoid
- “Beta key” and “early access” sites : only the official site is a confirmed channel. Sites selling or gifting Aniimo beta keys for an unreleased game are not endorsed by FunPlus, and I would steer well clear of them.
- Treating a test build as the real game : balance, content and performance in a pre-launch test do not represent launch. Judging Aniimo from beta footage is premature, and a “it’s bad” or “it’s perfect” verdict before release is just a vibe, not a review.
