Cover Corp. has been active across several fronts in 2026, expanding its technical tools, physical retail presence, talent management structure, and mobile gaming reach. On June 25, the company announced an in-house OBS plugin that uses Spout technology to offload 3D effects like relighting and ambient occlusion from its Studio App to OBS, decoupling effect development from the app's release cycle. The plugin is currently used internally, with plans to distribute it to talents later.
In physical retail, Cover Corp. and NoonX will host a hololive Spring Travel Diary pop-up store at Big City Mall Hsinchu in Taiwan from July 1 to August 9, 2026, featuring six talents, exclusive merchandise, and interactive attractions. This extends the company's physical retail presence into Taiwan with a themed event.
A significant structural change came in March 2026, when Cover Corp. announced that VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei established a personal agency named Studio STELLAR to strengthen her solo artist activities, with talent management handled by NERD Inc. Suisei will continue collaborations and group activities as a hololive production VTuber, while solo operations move to the new agency. Cover Corp. described the move as a step toward expanding VTubers' reach. Separately, the first official hololive smartphone game, hololive Dreams, developed with QualiArts, surpassed 1 million pre-registrations, prompting additional rewards and a JR Tokai collaboration.
