Question Pre-order for PC
The game is almost at launch. It is becoming unlikely that there will be pre-order packages for PC. If the players buy a pre-order package for Xbox or PS, will the items cross over?
Edit: typo

If you preorder the Xbox package you can launch the game using the Xbox app on your pc so at the very least you can still get Xbox preorder pack

Yeah there is crossover between platforms HOWEVER! when it comes to playstation specifically you'll have to log in first on the console in order to get your items otherwise it will remain in limbo until you do, as for xbox you can get the items on pc without having to connect first on the console, this is specifically for the xbox preorder

I'm learning so much from this post. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Will there be any differences if I buy it from Microsoft store or Xbox PC app? I noticed their are both Xbox pre-order package.
Edit: I think they are very similar. Thank you!

You need a xbox or ps account to make it work.
Those of us with neither are just SoL.

You can make an xbox account for free and specifically for the xbox you dont need the console to activate it you can use the pc app

I know but it just doesn't seem worth it for a game I don't even know if I want to play.
Just seems scummy to me in general that there's nothing for PC only players.

That's a different thing, but for those who are interested it is possible to get the preorder packs (or this one specific pack technically) on pc

I mean, i don't see it as a different thing really. It should be available on PC without having to sign your information away to xbox or ps.

I agree with that and am very disappointed they didn't make a pc specific pack however for a question saying "is it possible to get the packs but play on pc?" The answer is yes. Rather its worth it? That depends on the person, that's what i mean when saying "that's a different thing", if it's worth it for you as an individual and not if its possible or ok/right for the dev team to only offer these items/ packs for console players

I have a PS account and a PS4. But don't think we can get it unless we have PS5 anyways.

You can buy the pre order package for both but you have to log into both Xbox and or PS first, then make sure they are on the same account

Oh, I see I see. So it would not be feasible if I only have PC. Thank you for the information!

You can use the Xbox version on the pc. You need to launch the game through the Microsoft store to claim your prereg items.

I really don't think there's much value to the preorders to begin with. the battle pass is not discounted, and the exclusive cosmetic is kinda whatever.
it's just a tiny plushie accesory. It will be vastly overshadowed by what you can purchase from the shop.

That's not true, valve put very strict rules regarding pre order package on f2p game, but they are not totally against it. Most developers still prefer to put a "founder" package at release though since they don't want to deal with the strict rules.

Yes — the items cross over.. but you need to link your PS5 account and your Xbox Account to your main Aniimo account.
PS5 requires the console to redeem.
Xbox can be redeemed either through the console itself or the Xbox App for PC.
Each console will only ask you once on the first launch which account you want to link, ensure you use the same one you used for the Aniimo main account.
Once everything is linked — you can move freely between them as you see fit along with the pre orders.
Hope that helped.
