War Robots finally lets you carry progress across platforms — with one catch

War Robots just fixed a long-time headache – mostly

War Robots players can finally jump between phone and PC without feeling like they live two separate lives. MY.GAMES and Pixonic have rolled out cross-platform progression today across Android, iOS, and PC (both Steam and the MY.GAMES Launcher). Link a MY.GAMES ID in-game and you’ll carry over your robots, pilots, tasks, battle crates, clan contributions, and league standing wherever you log in. That alone removes one of the biggest reasons I’ve bounced between sessions: choosing between comfy PC controls at home and pocket play on the go.

Key takeaways

• Cross-progression is live now across Android, iOS, and PC via MY.GAMES ID.
• Your robots, pilots, tasks, crates, clan contributions, and league standing move with you.
• Steam accounts can transfer progress out to other platforms – but there’s no clear promise that progress moves back into Steam.
• There’s an official Android APK for players who can’t access a store version, with automatic updates.

What this actually changes for players

Cross-progression is one of those features you don’t miss until you’re deep into a live-service grind. In War Robots, where a single meta shift can send you chasing new builds and tweaking pilots, being locked to one platform was punishing. This update means you can push your league standing on PC, then keep your streak going on mobile during lunch, without splitting resources or juggling two hangars. For clans, it’s a quiet win too – no more members disappearing when their tablet dies for a week.

Importantly, this is cross-progression, not crossplay. You’re not suddenly facing mouse-and-keyboard Sharpshooter builds on your phone. That’s good. War Robots’ balance already swings hard between gear tiers and pilot skills; mixing platform input would make it wilder. Keeping the player pools separate while letting your account travel is the right call.

Breaking down the rollout

Pixonic says the project’s original architecture supported multiple systems but wasn’t built for shared accounts. Eleven years in, they essentially rebuilt core components to make this happen. The cross-progression system hinges on a MY.GAMES ID you link from the in-game menu. After that, you just log in on another supported platform and your progress appears — including those tasks and battle crates you’ve been chasing, plus your clan contributions and league ranking.

Coverage is broad: Google Play, iOS, Amazon, Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, OneStore, Xiaomi GetApps, Steam, and the MY.GAMES Launcher. There’s also a new official APK for Android that auto-updates — useful if your region’s storefront blocks the game or updates lag. It’s basically a safety valve to keep the Android player base humming.

The Steam caveat and other questions

Here’s the catch: Steam users can transfer progress to other platforms — the wording specifically says “from Steam to any other platform.” What it doesn’t clearly confirm is whether progress can move back into Steam or stay in sync if you hop around. That reads like a one-way ticket out of Steam. If you’re a dedicated PC pilot, think twice before you push that button. Until Pixonic clarifies, I’d treat Steam as export-friendly, not necessarily a permanent two-way sync.

Another lingering detail: the announcement lists robots, pilots, tasks, crates, clan contributions, and league as included, but doesn’t explicitly call out currencies or other inventory like modules. Realistically, those should be part of your account state — but if you’re sitting on a mountain of Au, Ag, or Platinum, it’s worth double-checking the in-game prompts when you link.

And yes, let’s say the quiet part out loud: cross-progression isn’t charity. It’s good for players, and it’s good for retention and spending. If you can play more often, you’ll progress (and probably buy) more consistently. That said, this is one of those “win-win” updates I’ll happily take — quality-of-life that makes a grindy game feel less punishing is always welcome.

Why this matters now

War Robots has more than 300 million installs, and 98% of them are on mobile. Android alone accounts for 228 million. PC is a tiny 2% slice, which explains the focus on keeping mobile strong while maintaining a PC option for home sessions. In 2024-2025, cross-progression has become table stakes for service games: Fortnite, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Genshin — they’ve all taught players to expect their accounts to follow them. War Robots joining the club this late is still a big deal, especially for a mech shooter that’s kept people tinkering with builds since 2014.

It’s also smart timing. The War Robots universe expanded with War Robots: Frontiers, and even if they’re separate titles, giving the mobile flagship modern account convenience keeps the community engaged while the franchise spreads out. Old game or not, this is a live-service veteran adapting to the current baseline.

What players should do now

• Link your profile to a MY.GAMES ID from the in-game menu before you install elsewhere.
• If you’re on Steam, confirm whether you want to export progress — and be cautious about assuming two-way sync back to Steam.
• Log in on your secondary platform and verify that your robots, pilots, tasks, crates, clan contributions, and league standing appear as expected.
• Android players in restricted regions can use the official APK with auto-updates if storefront access is an issue.

TL;DR

War Robots finally supports cross-progression via MY.GAMES ID, and it’s a genuine quality-of-life win. Your core progress now travels across mobile and PC. Just note the Steam wrinkle: transfers out are supported, but it’s not clear you can bring progress back. Link carefully, then enjoy playing where you want.
