Desktop Mate Hatsune Miku 'Magical Mirai 2026 Ver.' DLC Launches on Steam

Infinite Loop released the Desktop Mate Hatsune Miku 'Magical Mirai 2026 Ver.' DLC on Steam on July 23, 2026. The DLC adds a 3D model of Hatsune Miku wearing a special costume based on the event theme 'Lake Sonare,' which means 'to play' in Italian and references the first-ever Hamamatsu venue for Magical Mirai 2026. The costume design incorporates sunflowers, butterflies, and musical notes. The DLC includes new motions and effects such as shimmering water surfaces, splashes, and flower petals. The character can sit on the taskbar or windows, hide at the screen edge, and react to clicks with motions and voices. An alarm function triggers a special performance where Miku appears holding a bunch of sunflowers. The base Desktop Mate app is free on Steam; the DLC costs 2,200 yen and is available as a limited-time offer until August 31, 2027, with possible extensions or re-releases. Infinite Loop will also exhibit Desktop Mate booths at all three Magical Mirai 2026 venues in Hamamatsu, Osaka, and Tokyo, offering demos and selling DLC download cards and acrylic stands.

Desktop Mate Sister App Calculator Launches July 22 With Hatsune Miku DLC

Infinite Loop announced on July 16 that its desktop mascot platform Desktop Mate will get a sister app, Calculator - Desktop Mate Widgets, releasing on July 22. The app is a free-to-use digital calculator available on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store, Mac App Store), iOS, and Android. Characters appear in the background and react to button presses with spoken numbers and poses; pressing '=' sometimes triggers a struggle animation. A performance mode turns the calculator keys into piano keys, with the character singing. The base app includes Infinite Loop's mascot Aierutan voiced by Milia. Additional character DLCs cost 440 yen each. The first DLC, Hatsune Miku, launches simultaneously on July 22 with newly recorded voice lines and four theme designs. Special reactions occur for specific results like '39'. Infinite Loop also plans future widget apps beyond the calculator. Separately, a Desktop Mate DLC for Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2026 Ver. will release on Steam on July 23 for 2,200 yen, and Desktop Mate will have booths at all three Magical Mirai 2026 venues.
