Arknights: Endfield’s unified account system lets you play seamlessly across devices — PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android — by syncing your progress under a single login. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through setting up cross-save, explain how it works, highlight common pitfalls, and share tips to make your multi-device experience smooth and stress-free.
What “Cross-Save” and “Cross-Platform Progression” Really Mean
Before diving into setup, it’s important to define the key terms:
-
Cross-Save (Cross-Progression): Your account progress — including story completion, operators, items, and unlocks — is stored server-side and accessible from any supported device when logged in with the same account.
-
Cross-Platform Play: While common in multiplayer titles, full cross-play between all devices hasn’t been explicitly documented yet. However, the game supports cross-progression as a core design.
In essence, you can continue your playthrough on different platforms without losing progress — a rare convenience for live service games.
Supported Platforms and Cross Progression Compatibility
Here’s how cross-save works with official supported platforms at launch:
| Platform | Cross-Save Supported? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Windows) | ✅ | Via official launcher/Epic Games Store |
| PlayStation 5 | ✅ | Supported with the same Gryphline account |
| iOS | ✅ | Continued from other platforms |
| Android | ✅ | Continued from others |
| Steam | ❌ | Not supported at launch |
| Xbox / Switch | ❌ | Not supported at launch |
Arknights: Endfield’s supported platforms are confirmed to include PC, PS5, iOS, and Android at launch.
Note: While console storefronts like PlayStation may have platform-specific payment systems, your progress and unlocked content will sync as long as you log in with the same core account across devices.
Step-by-Step Setup — Link Your Account for Cross-Save
To ensure your progress syncs across all platforms, follow these core steps:
1. Create & Pre-Register With a Unified Account
Use the official pre-registration website or any platform login with:
-
Email
-
Apple ID
-
Google account
-
Connected social account
Make sure to include all platforms you plan to use during the pre-registration step.
2. Pre-Load the Game Before Launch
For platforms like PC and PS5, downloading ahead of launch ensures you’re ready at 09:00 GMT+8 on January 22, 2026.
Pro Tip: Pre-loading saves time and helps you start syncing progress immediately on launch day.
3. Log In with the Exact Same Credentials
When you first launch Endfield on any supported device:
-
Choose Existing Account
-
Enter the same email/social login you used during pre-registration
If you accidentally create a new account, your progress will not sync.
Common Cross-Save Troubleshooting
Even with the system designed to make syncing easy, some issues can crop up:
❗ Wrong Account on First Login
If you log in with a platform store account (e.g., PSN) before linking a Gryphline/global account, you might create a new save file instead of syncing progress.
Fix:
-
Log out
-
Relaunch and select “Existing Account”
-
Use your pre-registered email login
❗ Multiple Login Credentials
If you used different emails or login methods across devices, your progress may fragment.
Fix: Link your account in-game to a single email address. (Similar cross-save in other games like Honkai Star Rail recommends email linking first.)
❗ Device Recognition Errors
Community testers reported occasional device recognition errors (e.g., after OS changes), but logging out and back in usually resolves it.
Pro Tips for a Seamless Cross-Platform Experience
๐ก Claim Rewards on Your Main Device First
Pre-registration milestone rewards — including operators and items — are delivered in-game mail. Claim them on the device you play most.
๐ก Link Early
Do account linking before launch so you don’t risk creating multiple accounts across platforms.
๐ก Be Mindful of In-App Purchases
Premium purchases might be tied to platform storefronts. While progress syncs, purchase availability can differ across PSN, mobile stores, or PC launcher environments.
๐ก Use Same Email / Social Login
Consistency is key — always use the same login method across devices to avoid mismatched progress.
Cross-Save vs Cross-Play — What’s Supported?
-
✅ Cross-Save / Cross-Progression: Official support confirmed across PC, PS5, iOS, and Android.
-
๐ Cross-Play (Multiplayer): Details are less clear and not confirmed in full. Some sources suggest cooperative features may be cross-platform, but specifics remain limited.
For now, prioritize how your progress syncs across devices — that’s the main confirmed feature.
FAQ — Quick Answers for Cross-Save Questions
Q: Can I play on PS5 then continue on my phone?
A: Yes — as long as you log into the same account on both devices.
Q: Does cross-save work for purchases?
A: Progress syncs, but in-app purchases may be tied to the platform store you bought them on and may not transfer automatically.
Q: What if I logged into a new account by mistake on PS5?
A: Log out and re-login with your pre-registered account. Avoid creating a new account in the game.
Q: Do I need to link anything before playing?
A: Linking your account to an email or third-party login during pre-registration ensures smooth syncing.
Q: Will progress sync between beta and full launch?
A: Beta tests use wipes; progress won’t carry over. The cross-save system applies to launch version progress.
