Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) is HoYoverse’s free-to-play urban fantasy action RPG. You play a “Proxy” in the city of New Eridu, guiding teams of Agents through dangerous zones called Hollows, fighting enemies in real-time combat and taking commissions. Compared with HoYoverse’s turn-based Honkai: Star Rail, ZZZ is a fast action game, so it suits players who enjoy combos and dodging.

- Steam: ZZZ is listed as free on Steam for Windows. Steam states that a HoYoverse account is required and can be linked to Steam.

Safety
Fake “mod” APKs, cheap top-up sites and account resellers for HoYoverse games are common. They risk malware on your phone and stolen or banned accounts. Top up only in the game or through HoYoverse’s official channels, and use third-party tools at your own risk: altering the game breaks HoYoverse’s terms.
