January 22, 2026: The game has now officially released, so make sure you check out the Arknights: Endfield codes to get off to a strong start. For an even stronger start check out the Arknights Endfield reroll process to secure the best starter character you can.

The Arknights: Endfield release times are almost upon us, which means you'll be able to start playing this action RPG with factory simulation in the very near future. As this is a global release across mobile (iOS and Android), PC (via Epic Games Store, Google Play Games, plus dedicated launcher), and PlayStation 5, everyone will be able to access it at the same time – though that will be more convenient for some than others. To find out when you can start, here's confirmation of the Arknights: Endfield release times and dates.

When is Arknights: Endfield release time?

Arknights: Endfield is getting a simultaneous global release, so everyone will be able to access it the same point. This spans two different days depending on your location, so here are the official release times and dates:

  • PST (US West Coast): 7pm on January 21, 2026
  • EST (US East Coast): 10pm on January 21, 2026
  • GMT (UK): 3am on January 22, 2026
  • CET (Central Europe): 4am on January 22, 2026

Prior to launch, you can complete pre-registration on the official website to get your account set up, which is probably a good idea before the servers get slammed with all of the launch day traffic.

Can you preload Arknights: Endfield ahead of release?

You can preload Arknights: Endfield on PC or mobile now by heading to your platform of choice, however at the time of writing there doesn't appear to be an option to preload on PS5, as the only listing on the PlayStation Store at present is to purchase the pre-order bundle. This official announcement suggests that if you pre-order on PS5 then you can preload it but we haven't been able to verify that, so unless you're keen to buy it we recommend you wait until launch.
