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
💡 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.
💡 Link Early
Do account linking before launch so you don’t risk creating multiple accounts across platforms.
💡 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.
💡 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.
-
🔄 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.
