Arknights: Endfield Launches on Steam with Free Transfer for GRYPHLINK Players
The Steam build arrives with cross-platform data linking, which means GRYPHLINE is treating Steam as an added storefront rather than a separate version players must restart, and a community guide for reusing existing install files shows that expectation is already being tested.

GRYPHLINE released the Steam version of Arknights: Endfield on October 15, 2026, alongside the new version Danqing Du. The Steam release supports cross-platform account data linking, so players on the GRYPHLINK launcher can carry existing progress over instead of starting fresh. To celebrate more than 300,000 Steam wishlist registrations, in-game items including a Special Commemorative Frame and Originate Tickets are being distributed, with the Asia server serial code redeemable until 00:59 on November 26. Danqing Du adds the new map Su's Painting and the cold-attribute 6-star support operator Su, whose scout Wanxiang Yixin runs until 11:59 AM server time on November 5, 2026. The 6-star vanguard Minghuo follows on November 5 at noon server time. The version also adds the 6-star greatsword Yuzhong Shen and one-handed sword Wenyue to the Arsenal Exchange, plus equipment plan saving and other quality-of-life changes.
- Steam version adds screenshot capture with the F12 key and an overlay viewable with Shift+Tab, which the original PC launcher handled poorly outside the in-game camera.
- Steam's Game Recording feature supports manual and background recording, with clips reviewed from Recordings & Screenshots.
- Captures can be shared to X or SKPORT.
- A Steam Community guide by user SanderLy, "Skip the Steam Redownload," describes copying the GRYPHLINK install folder contents into the Steam library folder, then verifying files.
- The guide warns to copy rather than move the original files, and notes extra downloads may occur from version differences.
- Account linking is still required to carry progress; copying files alone does not transfer data.
- Danqing Du also adds the ability to run an inn, direct placement of stored facilities and materials, combo skill priority settings, and a shift function in the Dijiang's cabins.
- Real-world events: a POP UP at Tokyu Plaza Omotesando on October 17-18, a ZONe ENERGY campaign at AEON Group stores from October 27, and a Round One collaboration from November 10.
- The 1st Anniversary Fest is set for Makuhari Messe in January 2027, with a concert planned.
