Zenless Zone Zero Platforms & Installation
Mobile ( Android & IOS)
Mobile's my go-to for dailies when I'm out, nothing beats sneaking in a few pulls on the bus. To get started, you just search "Zenless Zone Zero" in the App Store on iOS or Google Play on Android and download it, it's free and around 10-12GB. You then fire it up, log in with your HoYoverse account (or make one), and you're good to go.
Okay, let's talk about performance, ZZZ has great optimization on Mobile, but if you're on a lower-end or budget-friendly you might have to drown down the grahics a bit, but if you have a decent midranger or a high-end model you're good to go, also pro-tip if you're someone that enjoys longer hours dropping the settings to medium might help you squeeze for time out of your battery.
PC (Windows & MacOs)
So, if you're on PC you have options to where to get ZZZ from, if you want to keep things simple and minimal, headover to Hoyoverse and download their launcher and select ZZZ to start downloading it and the launcher does the rest for you. You can optionally also install it via Epic Games Launcher, ZZZ isn't available on Steam natively just a heads up.
Okay, so you've installed the game but what's the best settings to run it? ZZZ while having an amazing artstyle isn't too demanding, even it you have a Nvidia GTX 1660ti you can play at high settings easily, same goes for Mac users, any mac above 2020 should handle ZZZ just fine.
Steam Deck
First you switch to Desktop Mode on your Deck, then grab the game via Epic Games Store through Heroic Launcher (install from Discover app). Log in, download ZZZ, takes ~20GB. Add ZenlessZoneZero.exe as a non-Steam game in Gaming Mode. Set Proton to GE-Proton7-21 or Experimental for stability; crank graphics to Medium for 40-60 FPS. Updates might need Lutris or NonSteamLauncher refreshes, but it runs buttery post-setup, perfect for Bangboo hunts on the go.
Playstation (PS5)
1. How to get started?
So, if you're someone that's laid back and love couch gaming then PS5 might be the platform for you and I get it you jsut wanna laze around while playing ZZZ after a hard day at work and getting started on the PS5 is as easy as pie, just head on over to your Playstation Store and click download and wait for it to install, and you're done!
2. How to Link/Connect ZZZ to PS5?
Boot ZZZ on your PS5 for the first time: Select "Create HoYoverse ID now" or "Log in with existing." If you have a prior account, hit Menu > Options > Account > User Center > Link Account. Follow prompts to tie your PSN to HoYoverse (one-time via account.hoyoverse.com if needed). Guest saves? Link to a fresh email first, then migrate. Pro tip: Use a dedicated PSN for gachas to avoid Genshin/HSR conflicts, progress stays safe.
3. How to Delete ZZZ Account on PS5?
ZZZ doesn't let you nuke in-game data easily, progress ties to your HoYoverse ID. To reset: Unlink PSN in User Center (Menu > Options > Account), delete PS5 local saves, and start fresh with a new ID. Full account deletion? Head to account.hoyoverse.com > Feedback > Submit "Account Deletion Request." Expect 30-day review; you'll lose all games tied to that ID (Genshin, HSR too). Backup first, rerollers, make a throwaway ID instead.
Zenless Zone Zero Cross-Platform Account Guide
Cross-Save Between PS5 and PC/Steam Deck
Full cross-progression works great via one HoYoverse ID. Start on mobile or PC, log the same ID on PS5, and your agents, Polychromes, and story pick up instantly. Cross-play too: Squad up across platforms seamlessly. Server regions must match (e.g., America), and it's cloud-synced, no manual transfers needed.
Cross-Platform Progress Transfer
First, log your HoYoverse ID on PS5/Deck launcher. Instant sync: Same agents, events, everything. Mobile to Deck? PC launcher login does it. Pitfall: Region lock, America mobile won't jump to Asia PS5. Verify UID in-game profiles match before switching.
If Linking Fails or You Need to Re-Link
Delete your local PS5 save data (Settings > Storage > ZZZ > Delete), then relaunch and link your HoYoverse ID during setup. Cloud overrides local, pulling your full progress. If stuck, unlink via User Center (keeps HoYo data intact) and retry. Support tickets fix rare PSN glitches, most swap in under 5 minutes.
Did you know you can get guaranteed current banner character pulls with LootBar’s guaranteed current banner character pulls. So, if you want a character, you can liteally get them without any loosing that stupid 50/50.
PS5 vs. Steam Deck: Performance and Settings
- PS5: Crank to High/60 FPS, native shines with DualSense haptics on combos.
- Deck: Medium/30-45 FPS, Proton GE for no crashes; Lossless Scaling boosts frames. Both handle 2.4's abyss dives smooth.
Final Thoughts
Zenless Zone Zero really has set the bar in the gacha community with their seamless integration of platform switching with their Hoyoverse ID and account system, you can hop off one system and start on the next in one swoop. No more progress silos: Hop from mobile dailies to PS5 boss rushes or Deck commutes, agents and Polychromes intact. Linking PS5 is a one-tap breeze, Deck installs tweakable for buttery frames, and even resets stay low-risk with cloud backups.
You can forget Steam lock-ins, HoYoPlay delivers seamless PC power. Pitfalls like PSN ties or region locks? Easy dodges with dedicated accounts. Whether you're chaining combos on DualSense or proxying proxies handheld, ZZZ flexes true freedom. New Eridu pulses alive across screens, dive in, build your squad, and conquer Hollows anywhere. This system's too slick to ignore; your next S-rank pull awaits on whatever device calls.
