BanG Dream! Our Notes is officially launching worldwide on September 24, 2026 for Android and iOS devices. Players can start looking for the pre-download from September 22, 2026 (UTC+9), although the download may appear at different times depending on their App Store or Google Play region.
The new BanG Dream! mobile game brings a fresh rhythm-game experience, new stories, five featured bands, gacha-style character collection, and multiplayer gameplay. Here is everything confirmed so far about the BanG Dream! Our Notes release date, pre-registration rewards, supported languages, and what players can expect at launch.
The official BanG Dream! Our Notes global release date is September 24, 2026. The game is planned to release worldwide at the same time, meaning players across different regions will be able to begin playing around the launch window.
The date was announced during a special release program on September 13, along with a new official trailer and the game’s launch key visual. The global version is coming to both Android and iOS.
While the game launches on September 24 in UTC+9 regions such as Japan and South Korea, the date may look different in some countries because of time-zone differences.
For players in India, a midnight September 24 UTC+9 launch would be around 8:30 PM IST on September 23. However, players should wait for the exact in-game server-opening time before assuming they can log in at that hour.
Pre-Download Starts September 22
Pre-download for BanG Dream! Our Notes will gradually begin on September 22, 2026 (UTC+9).
This means you may be able to install the game before launch day, but the servers may remain unavailable until the official release starts. Pre-downloading is useful because it lets you prepare the game files early instead of waiting through heavy download traffic on launch day.
The word “gradually” is important. Some players may see the game on Google Play or the Apple App Store before others. Availability can depend on:
If you cannot find the download immediately on September 22, check the official game accounts and search the store again later. You should avoid downloading unofficial APK files, especially before a major game launch.

What Is BanG Dream! Our Notes?
BanG Dream! Our Notes is a new rhythm game based on the popular BanG Dream! girls’ band project. It follows the franchise’s mix of music, character stories, live performances, and collectible members.
The game is being published by BILIBILI GAME, with Bushiroad Games and FROMTOKYO also involved in the project. It is presented as a new chapter for the BanG Dream! series rather than simply an update to an older title.
Players can expect to build a team, collect characters and support items, play songs by tapping along to notes, and unlock story content connected to the featured bands.
One of the main gameplay features is GEKISO LIVE, a performance mode that aims to make songs feel more active and cinematic. The game also includes story scenes, original music, anime-related tracks, and real-time multiplayer content.
All Confirmed Bands
At launch, BanG Dream! Our Notes will focus on five girls’ bands:
MyGO!!!!!
Ave Mujica
Mugendai MewType
millsage
Ikka Dumb Rock!
MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica are already well-known to many modern BanG Dream! fans. The other groups help make Our Notes feel like a new era for the franchise, with fresh characters, stories, and songs to discover.
More than 25 characters across these five bands have been mentioned in early global information. Each group has its own style, personality, and story, giving players different reasons to follow the game beyond rhythm gameplay alone.
Global pre-registration is still active ahead of launch, and the game has passed major player milestones. Reports on September 11 said pre-registrations had reached 1.6 million worldwide.
Because of those milestones, several launch rewards have been confirmed for players. These include currency, tickets, profile items, and free access to the Season 1 Mission Pass.
Confirmed rewards so far
Milestone
Reward
500,000 pre-registrations
4,000 STAR, equal to 20 gacha pulls
600,000 pre-registrations
3 song tickets
700,000 pre-registrations
SR-or-higher guaranteed gacha ticket
800,000 pre-registrations
New key-visual Snap card
900,000 pre-registrations
Three BanG Dream! anime-logo stickers
1 million pre-registrations
Free Mission Pass Season 1
1.1 million to 1.4 million
One gacha ticket at each milestone
1.5 million pre-registrations
Release-celebration SSR-or-higher guaranteed gacha ticket
1.6 million pre-registrations
One gacha ticket
The Mission Pass Season 1 reward is especially useful because it is normally a paid pass. The announced free version lasts for the game’s first month after release and does not automatically renew.
The team has also announced extra goals up to 2 million global pre-registrations. If the game reaches the final milestone, players are set to receive an SSR member guaranteed gacha ticket. The rewards for 1.7 million, 1.8 million, and 1.9 million are additional gacha tickets.
What Are Snap Cards?
One new feature mentioned in the pre-registration rewards is the Snap card.
A Snap is described as a support card that can be set alongside members in a live team. The pre-registration campaign includes a new key-visual Snap card with EX rarity, which makes it different from a normal character member.
This likely means team building will involve more than collecting band members. Players may need to choose both members and support cards to improve their live performance, scores, or team bonuses.
However, full details about Snap effects, upgrades, rarity rates, and the complete launch meta have not been fully explained yet. Players should wait for official in-game guides before spending important resources.
