The short version
- Pre-registration is open on the official website, with a choice of PC, console or mobile[1][4].
- Official milestone rewards: 10K Golvent, a Clothing Dye, a Profile Card, 100 Jillion Vouchers, a Character Outfit and a Car Paint Selector[1][2].
- More than 17.2 million players in 110 countries and regions had signed up by August 25, 2026[3][2]. See the release date.
You pre-register for Ananta on the official website, where you choose between PC, console and mobile[1][4]. It is free, and it counts towards a set of global milestone rewards that NetEase lists on the same page[1]. Here is how it works, what you get and what is still unclear.
How do you pre-register for Ananta?
Go to the official website and use the pre-registration section. The form offers PC, console and mobile platform choices[1][4]. The game itself launches on January 15, 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS and Android, so there is nothing to download yet: see our release date page for the details.
A few practical points:
- Pre-registration is open now and costs nothing[1][4].
- Pick the platform you actually plan to play on. Our platforms guide lists what is confirmed for each one.
- On PC, adding the game to your Steam wishlist is a separate step and does not replace the official pre-registration.
What are the Ananta pre-registration rewards?
The official website lists six milestone rewards[1], also reported by Game8[2]:
- 10K Golvent (in-game currency)
- 1 Clothing Dye
- 1 Profile Card
- 100 Jillion Vouchers
- 1 Character Outfit
- 1 Car Paint Selector, tied to the number of followers on the official social media accounts
These are cosmetic and currency rewards. There is no playable character among them, which is consistent with NetEase's statement that Ananta has no character gacha (more in our free-to-play and gacha guide).
What are the milestone thresholds?
The official site shows the rewards but, as of today, we have not found official threshold figures on it. The thresholds below come from Game8 only and are not confirmed by NetEase[2]:
| Reported threshold | Reward | Status on October 13, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| 15 million pre-registrations | 10,000 Golvent | Reached (17.2 million) |
| 20 million | Clothing Dye | Not reached |
| 25 million | Profile Card | Not reached |
| 30 million | 100 Jillion Vouchers | Not reached |
| 35 million | Character Outfit | Not reached |
| 7 million social media followers | Car Paint Selector | Unknown (no official follower total) |
The status column is our deduction from the last public count; NetEase does not display it.
If these figures are correct, the last public count (17.2 million) would only unlock the first tier. NetEase has not published a live counter since August 2026, so we cannot say more.
How many players have pre-registered?
The count has grown steadily over the past year:
- over 11 million in September 2025, according to Automaton[5];
- over 15 million in December 2025, according to TechRadar[6];
- over 17 million in May 2026, according to Lords of Gaming[7];
- 17.2 million across 110 countries and regions when the release date was announced at Gamescom 2026, on August 25, 2026[3][2].
No newer official figure has been announced. The milestones and the key dates are also on our calendar.
What are the October 13 offers on Google Play?
From October 13, Google Play promotes "special offers" for Play Fest. We checked what this covers: Play Fest is a Google Play event, not an Ananta event. Google announced it on October 8, 2026: from October 13 to 19, the whole store runs Play Points sweepstakes, gaming leagues and discounts on apps, games and books[9]. The announcement does not mention Ananta.
On Ananta's own Google Play listing, read on October 13, 2026 from the United States, France and India, we found no Ananta offer and no extra pre-registration reward; the listing was last updated on August 5, 2026[8]. The official website does not mention Play Fest either[1]. Since the game only launches on January 15, 2027, there is nothing to buy in it yet. The October 13 offers therefore do not concern Ananta.
We also found no platform-specific pre-registration rewards for Steam, the PlayStation Store or the App Store; the rewards appear to be global[1][2]. Follow the next dates on our release calendar.
Do you need to pre-register to get the rewards?
That is not confirmed. PC Gamer points out that NetEase has not said whether the milestone rewards will be limited to pre-registered players or given to everyone at launch[4]. Pre-registering costs nothing, so it is the safe option, but we will not claim it is required until NetEase says so.
What is still unknown?
- The official thresholds on the website, and the current live count after August 2026: not announced yet.
- Whether rewards go to all players at launch: not announced yet[4].
- How and when rewards are delivered in game: not announced yet.
We will update this page as soon as NetEase publishes any of these points.
Updates
- Milestone tiers now shown with their status: only the 15 million tier is reached if Game8's thresholds are right, based on the last public count of 17.2 million[2][3]. Checked the October 13 offers shown on Google Play: they belong to Google's Play Fest (October 13 to 19) and do not concern Ananta[9][8]. Key dates: release date and calendar.
- Checked the official website: pre-registration still open, same six rewards, no official threshold figures and no per-platform rewards.
