3. Click the game in the results and add the game to your Library.
4. In the Library, launch the game and hit the Download option.
5. Choose your install location and let the download complete.

NOTE:

The Epic Games Store will automatically download and update the game files so you can launch the game immediately when it goes live.

The official Arknights Endfield launcher is another way to pre-download the game on PC:

1. Visit the official Arknights: Endfield website.
2. Find and download the GRYPHLINK launcher, which is the game’s official PC client.

Pre-downloading Arknights Endfield on PlayStation 5 works a little differently compared to PC and mobile. On PlayStation, preload is tied to the pre-order bundle, which costs $9.99, as the base game is free-to-play and Sony’s store doesn’t allow free pre-orders. Purchasing the bundle lets you download the full game ahead of launch.

1. Open the PlayStation Store.
2. Search for “Arknights: Endfield.”
3. You’ll find the Pre-Order Bundle on the store page. Select it.
4. Purchase the Pre-Order Bundle to unlock pre-download.
5. Once purchased, the game will automatically start downloading.

Arknights Endfield pre-download on Android devices

Pre-downloading on Android is handled through the Google Play Store:

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your device.
2. Use the search bar to find “Arknights: Endfield”.
3. Tap Install or Pre-download when the option appears.
4. Wait for the download to complete. The game may unpack additional data after the initial installation.

For iOS users, the process is equally straightforward through the App Store:

2. Search for “Arknights: Endfield”.
3. Tap Get to install the game.
4. Let the game install fully before launch day.

NOTE:

Mobile versions often require an initial install and later expand the full game files once you open the app. Make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
