NetEase has confirmed ANANTA for mobile platforms, but ANANTA Codex does not currently treat an Android release date, Google Play listing, APK package, or Android device requirement as confirmed until first-party sources publish those details.
This page tracks Android-specific questions because Android launch details can be more fragmented than iOS: Google Play availability, regional stores, official APK policy, chipset requirements, controller support, and sideload safety all need separate evidence.
Use the broader mobile release info page for the combined Android/iOS tracker, and the release date and platforms tracker for the top-level launch status.

Google Play and regional store questions
A Google Play listing should confirm the publisher name, age rating, supported languages, privacy disclosures, compatibility range, app size, update date, and whether pre-registration is open. If ANANTA appears in additional regional Android stores, each listing should be checked separately instead of assuming all stores share the same launch date or build.
For SEO and player safety, ANANTA Codex treats store metadata as dated evidence. If a listing changes, we will record the update date and explain what changed.
APK safety note
Do not install ANANTA APK files from mirror sites, social-media comments, short-link pages, or “early access” pages that are not linked from official ANANTA / NetEase sources. Pre-launch mobile titles are common targets for fake APKs, cloned registration forms, adware bundles, and credential-stealing login screens.
ANANTA Codex will not host APKs. If an official Android client is released, this page will point readers back to verified official channels or recognized app-store pages.
A safe Android download should meet at least one of these conditions:
- It is a Google Play page linked by official ANANTA/NetEase channels.
- It is an official website download with publisher-controlled domain evidence.
- It is a regional store listing referenced by official announcements.
- It is part of a documented public beta with clear eligibility rules.
If the only source is a reposted file, a Discord upload, or a “leaked beta APK,” treat it as unsafe.
Android device requirements to watch
Android performance depends on more than the Android version number. For an urban open-world game, practical requirements may depend on chipset, GPU, RAM, storage speed, thermal behavior, and how the game streams city assets while players move quickly.
When official details or public testing become available, this page will track:
- Minimum Android version and recommended OS version.
- Supported chipsets or performance tiers.
- RAM and storage requirements.
- Initial download size and in-game asset download size.
- Graphics presets, frame-rate options, and resolution scaling.
- Heat and battery behavior across common phone classes.
- Controller support and touch-control customization.
What to test on Android later
- Touch-control customization and default button layout.
- Controller support and button prompts.
- Heat, battery drain, and performance during fast city traversal.
- Graphics presets and frame-rate options.
- Login providers and account linking.
- Download size before and after first launch.
- Whether background downloads or patch resumes work reliably.
These tests should be repeated after major patches because mobile optimization often changes during the first weeks of launch.
Cross-save and account-binding risks
If ANANTA supports cross-save, Android players need to know whether Google login, publisher accounts, guest accounts, and social login all connect to the same progress system. This affects rerolling, pre-registration rewards, purchases, and whether progress can move to PC or PS5 later.
Until official account details appear, avoid binding valuable accounts through unofficial clients. See the crossplay and cross-save tracker for platform-wide notes.
