Out January 15, 2027 · free-to-play on PC, PS5, iOS and Android
Ananta for free — and your PC pays for the premium currency
Your PC can pay for what you buy inside Ananta, so you do not have to. The game itself is free-to-play — from January 15, 2027 you download it for nothing on PC, PS5 or your phone. What costs money is the extras: premium currency, outfits, vehicles, furniture for your apartment. Your graphics card sits idle for hours every day; let it run AI jobs in that time, watch the balance climb, and turn it into Steam credit for the Steam version of the game.
- A €10 Steam card: about four days of work on an RTX 4090
- Ananta: free-to-play from January 15, 2027 on PC, PS5, iOS and Android
- What you pay out of pocket: nothing
How to get Ananta premium currency for free
No subscription, no surveys, no small print. You rent out your graphics card for AI compute and get paid for it — during the hours you were not using the machine anyway.
Switch it on, forget it
Install the app, hit EARN, get on with your day. Setup takes about a minute.
The card works, the balance grows
Not gaming? Your GPU runs AI jobs. Launch Ananta? It steps aside instantly. You get paid by the hour.
Top up on Steam
Turn the balance into a Steam gift card, add it to your wallet and spend it in the Steam version of Ananta.
How many days to your first top-up?
The target is a €10 Steam gift card — about 24 hours of work on an RTX 5090, roughly 31 on a 4090 and around 80 on an older 3090. At eight idle hours a day that is about four days on either of the first two and eleven on the 3090. Your balance never expires, so you can start long before January 15, 2027. Pick your exact model in the calculator and see your own number.

You top up with Steam credit
On PC, Ananta ships on Steam as well as on its own client — and in the Steam version, in-game purchases come straight out of your Steam wallet. A €10 Steam gift card from the shop goes into that wallet the moment you redeem it. Want a bigger top-up? The same catalog carries €5 and €20 cards and a $50 one.
Our English catalog stocks no PlayStation or Google Play cards, so this page does not promise top-ups for the PS5 or mobile versions — only for the Steam one. Your balance does not expire, and it spends on anything else in the store too.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ananta is free-to-play — you download it and play without paying for the game itself, on PC, PS5, iOS and Android. In-game purchases cost money, and those can be covered by a GamerHash AI balance your graphics card earns during the hours you were not using it anyway.
Your card is idle anyway. Send it to Nova City.
Setup takes a minute. After that you leave the machine on and the balance climbs on its own — until you swap it for Steam credit and buy whatever you want in the game without touching your own wallet.
