Honkai: Nexus Anima Evolution Test Requirements & Platforms

Account and Age Requirements

Participation in the Honkai: Nexus Anima Evolution Test requires a HoYoverse account in good standing. Your account must have a verified email address and pass regional age verification checks. In most territories, applicants must be at least 18 years old. Some regions allow 16 and older with parental consent, but the registration form enforces local rules automatically based on your selected country.

One account per person is enforced during beta screening. Creating duplicate accounts to increase acceptance odds violates the terms of service and may result in permanent bans across HoYoverse titles. If you previously participated in the Nexus Bond Test, use the same account rather than registering anew under a different email.

Supported Platforms

The Evolution Test launches simultaneously on PC, iOS, and Android. PC players download a dedicated client through the official beta portal. Mobile players receive TestFlight invitations on iOS or APK download links on Android depending on regional distribution agreements. Cross-platform account sync lets you continue progress on any supported device using the same HoYoverse login.

Platform choice during registration is binding for the duration of the test. If you primarily play on PC but occasionally use mobile, register for the platform where you expect to spend the most time. Our cross-platform settings guide explains how graphics, controls, and account data sync once you have access.

PC Minimum and Recommended Specs

Minimum PC requirements include Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and a DirectX 11 compatible GPU with 2 GB VRAM. You need approximately 20 GB of free storage for the client and cached assets. A stable broadband connection is required for authentication and periodic content downloads during the test period.

Recommended specs for smooth Iia town exploration and Nexus Battle animations include 16 GB RAM, a modern discrete GPU with 4 GB or more VRAM, and an SSD for faster load times. Honkai: Nexus Anima scales graphics settings automatically, but manual tuning improves frame rates during crowded town events and particle-heavy combat sequences. See our PC controls and keybindings page once installed.

Mobile Device Compatibility

iOS devices must run iOS 15 or later with at least 4 GB of available RAM. Compatible models include iPhone 11 and newer, plus recent iPad generations with A12 Bionic chips or better. TestFlight distribution requires accepting Apple's beta software terms before installation.

Android devices need version 9.0 or higher with 4 GB RAM minimum and ARM64 architecture. Popular mid-range chipsets from Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 and MediaTek Dimensity 800 series upward handle the game acceptably at default settings. Touch controls differ significantly from PC inputs, so review our mobile touch controls guide before your first Nexus Battle.

Language and Regional Availability

The Evolution Test supports five languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Language selection during registration determines client localization, voice-over availability, and questionnaire language. Server regions are allocated based on geographic location to minimize latency during online features.

Not every country participates in every beta wave. If your region is excluded from the current recruitment cycle, monitor official Honkai: Nexus Anima channels for expanded territory announcements. Wiki resources including our all Anima list and Iia Reality Plane guide remain available globally regardless of beta access status.
