Dear Endministrator,

The pre-download for the [Companionship Celebration] & [Homecoming] Core Chapter version of Arknights: Endfield is now available. You can download select game resources for PC and PlayStation®5 in advance to access the game faster once the update and maintenance are complete.

Additionally, we plan to begin maintenance for the game client update on July 16, 2026 at 06:00 (UTC+8). After maintenance is complete, the game will be updated to the new version [Homecoming].

This update is mandatory. You will not be able to log into the game during the maintenance period; please plan your gaming schedule accordingly. Once the update is complete, you will need to re-download the game client. Due to the large download size, we recommend that you download the update using a stable Wi-Fi connection.

▼// Update & Maintenance Details

This update is mandatory. You will not be able to log into the game during the maintenance period; please plan your gaming schedule accordingly. Once the update is complete, you will need to re-download the game client. Due to the large download size, we recommend that you download the update using a stable Wi-Fi connection. If your device has completed or started the pre-download, the amount of data you need to download after maintenance will be reduced based on the resources already downloaded, saving time during this stage of the update. The estimated storage space required for this update is as follows.

· PC: 16GB (an additional 20GB of free storage is required when extracting files; install on an SSD for better gaming experiences)

· Android: 9GB (an additional 9GB of free storage is required when extracting files)

· iOS: 10GB (an additional 10GB of free storage is required when extracting files)

· PlayStation®5: 47GB (an additional 58GB of free storage is required when extracting files)

※ Extra storage used during extraction will be freed once the extraction is complete.

※ This update will consolidate and optimize game resources. After the update, the mobile client size will be reduced, taking up less storage space on your device.
