# Arknights: Endfield: platforms, PC requirements, storage and cross-save

> PC, PS5, iOS, Android, storage, minimum requirements and cross-platform save: the official information to install Endfield.

## Endfield is out: what to check before installing

Arknights: Endfield has been available worldwide since **January 22, 2026**. The date is therefore no longer the useful question. Before downloading, mainly check three things: device compatibility, the space actually available and the account that will carry the save.

The game is offered on **PC, PlayStation 5, Android and iOS**. The PC version is distributed through the GRYPHLINK launcher and the Epic Games Store. GRYPHLINE has also made Endfield accessible on GeForce NOW in supported regions.

## Official PC requirements

The minimum requirements announced for launch include:

- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
- Intel Core i5-9400F or equivalent.
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or equivalent.
- 16 GB of RAM.
- DirectX 11.1 or higher.
- 50 GB of free space, with 40 GB additional during extraction.

The recommended requirements move up to an Intel Core i7-10700K or equivalent and a GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent, still keeping 16 GB of RAM. Installing on an SSD is recommended.

Temporary storage is easy to underestimate. The final client does not necessarily occupy the **90 GB** cumulative amount requested at launch on PC. GRYPHLINK must still download then extract the files. An SSD with only the final 50 GB can therefore block the operation.

## Android and iOS

On Android, the launch requirements indicated Android 10 or HarmonyOS 2 at minimum, 6 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 855, Dimensity 1000 or Kirin 990 class processor. The recommendation rises to Android 11, 8 GB of RAM and a more recent chip such as a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

On iOS, the announced minimum was iOS or iPadOS 15, with an iPhone XS or an iPad equipped with an A12 chip and 4 GB of RAM. An iPhone 13 Pro or an A15 iPad, with 6 GB of RAM, was the recommended target.

Launch required 25 GB free on mobile. Later versions can claim significant temporary space before compacting the resources. Keep a margin beyond the size displayed in the store.

## PlayStation 5 and controllers

The PS5 version required 60 GB at launch. On PC and mobile, Endfield officially supports DualSense, DualSense Edge, DualShock 4 controllers as well as compatible Xbox controllers. The available features vary depending on the wired or Bluetooth connection and the platform.

If Windows sound switches to a connected DualSense, check the selected audio device. The vibration option and the controller-specific functions are set in the **Controls** and **Audio** menus.

## Cross-save: same account, same server

Progression syncs across platforms when the same account is used. This lets you start on PC then continue on mobile or PS5. The sync covers the whole progression: campaign, operators and factory follow the account on every linked platform. This continuity does not remove the need to check the selected server: a save can seem missing if the client opens another region.

Before linking a new platform, note the UID and the server of the main save. Log back in with the same authentication method. In case of an anomaly, do not chain account creations: use the [official support contact procedure](https://after-strategy.com/en/arknights-endfield-contact-customer-support-guide-2026/).

## After installation

The [guide to getting started with Arknights: Endfield](https://after-strategy.com/en/arknights-endfield-beginners-guide-getting-started-2026/) proposes a priority order between campaign, AIC, team and exploration. If you are coming back after several months, our [Homecoming version review](https://after-strategy.com/en/arknights-endfield-2026-launch-to-homecoming-review-2026/) summarizes the permanent changes to examine.

The client also keeps a local cache of downloaded resources. Clearing it from the launcher settings frees several gigabytes without touching the save, which stays on the account side. This helps when the system drive is nearly full and the next update is already announced.

The minimum requirements only answer the question "can the client start?". For an installation without a bad surprise, mainly plan margin on storage and identify your account before the first launch. These are two banal precautions, but they avoid the most painful problems to repair.

## Preparing for a major update

Requirements change from one version to the next. For Homecoming, GRYPHLINE announced a download of about **16 GB on PC**, **9 GB on Android**, **10 GB on iOS** and **47 GB on PS5**. Extraction required another **20 GB** on PC, **9 GB** on Android, **10 GB** on iOS and up to **58 GB** on PS5.

These Homecoming values do not represent the permanent client size. GRYPHLINK and the mobile stores free the extraction space after resource consolidation. They explain however why Android, iOS, PC or PS5 can refuse an update despite a compatible final size.

Before a major version:

1. Finish or pause the other downloads.
2. Check the free space, not just the current game size.
3. Use a stable connection.
4. Let the launcher finish the extraction before restarting the device.
5. Then check the version from the client.

On PC, preloading appears to the left of the **Play** button in GRYPHLINK when available. On PS5, open the game options then **Check for Update**. On Android and iOS, the client can download part of the resources after the update obtained in the store.

## Choosing between local install and GeForce NOW

GeForce NOW lets you launch Endfield without downloading the full client on a local machine compatible with the service. Progression stays synced with the other platforms within the same account and the same server. In-game purchases are also supported according to the official FAQ.

This option bypasses the storage constraint and can help a configuration below the recommendations. It adds however a dependency on connection quality and on the regional availability of the service. For a long session or an irregular connection, the local install remains more predictable.

The cloud is not a separate Endfield server. Still check the region chosen at the first launch to find the expected save.

## Setting up a controller on PC or mobile

Supported PlayStation controllers include the DualSense, the DualSense Edge and the DualShock 4. Official Xbox controllers also work. On PC, a wired connection generally keeps all available functions. Over Bluetooth, some vibration, speaker or adaptive trigger functions can vary.

On mobile, Bluetooth is the common method. The FAQ specifies that Xbox controller vibration and trigger impulses are not supported in this configuration. For a DualSense, only the adaptive triggers are indicated as available over mobile Bluetooth.

In Endfield, the vibration and trigger settings are found in **Settings → Controls**. The controller speaker is set in **Settings → Audio**. If Windows automatically selects the DualSense as the sound output, set the speakers or the headset back as the main device.

## Check the account before switching devices

Note the UID, the server and the login method of the main save. On the new device, choose exactly the same Gryphline account or the same identity provider. An identical address entered through another method does not necessarily create the expected link.

If the progression does not appear, do not start a new game and do not unlink several accounts at random. Take a screenshot of the UID visible on each platform, then contact support from **Settings → Platform & Account → Contact Customer Support** or by email.

This preparation looks administrative, but it protects tens of hours of campaign, AIC and operator progression. Cross-save is a comfort only when the account and the server are clearly identified.
