DMM GAMES is expanding its PC-first strategy and storefront reach while closing older service titles. It announced the end of ANGELICA ASTER on October 19 and Tenkei Paradox on August 26, and is taking pre-registrations for Chaos★Smash ahead of an undecided launch date.
DMM GAMES spent the second half of 2026 consolidating around PC and its own storefront while retiring older live-service titles. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, CEO Hiroyuki Toujou and executive officer Yuuki Ajiro put numbers on the platform: 40 million members, about 260 online titles and 15,000 download titles, a 20 billion yen content investment over three years, 39 self-published titles running and 16 in development. A separate session covered simultaneous PC releases and an Unreal Engine SDK and MCP server.
The storefront push has a concrete result. The iOS version of the GAMES STORE app launched on August 31, letting players install DMM GAMES titles directly on an iPhone without the App Store, including R18 versions as native apps. The launch lineup covered 10 all-ages titles and the store is available only in Japan. Weeks earlier, EXNOA announced the largest DMM GAMES booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, with hands-on previews of Touken Ranbu Puzzgiri and Muv-Luv Girls Garden.
New distribution deals landed alongside. Netmarble's Monster Guild: STAR DIVE gets a DMM GAMES version in November. KADOKAWA's KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! - Prosperity in This Beloved City! brings its PC version to DMM GAMES, with a special stage at the booth on September 20. MoonRabbit's Chaos★Smash added DMM GAMES as a pre-registration channel alongside its official site; the free-to-play browser title has no launch date yet.
Two closures bracket the period. Tenkei Paradox, a 10th anniversary commemorative title, ends service on August 26 after about four years. ANGELICA ASTER ends October 19, roughly one year and eleven months after its December 2024 launch, with the operation team citing an inability to keep providing sufficient service. Dot Abyss, the debut title under the Kumasan Black label, released June 11 and added its Chapter 8 update on September 21.

DMM GAMES announced on September 18 that ANGELICA ASTER will end service on October 19, about one year and eleven months after its December 2024 launch on DMM GAMES for PC, PC browser, and Android, with an iOS version following later.

DMM GAMES, operated by EXNOA, released the iOS version of its store app "GAMES STORE" on August 31, 2026. The app allows players to install and play DMM GAMES titles directly on an iPhone without going through the App Store. The launch lineup includes 10 all-ages titles, such as "Teklonos," "Muv-Luv Girls Garden," and "Mist Train Girls: From the Window of the Misty World." The store is available only in Japan, requiring a Japan-based Apple account, and it is not supported on iPad. The release follows the Smartphone Software Competition Promotion Act, enacted in December 2025, which enabled alternative app marketplaces on iOS. A notable feature is the distribution of R18 versions of games as native apps, with "Twinkle Star Knights X" cited as an R18 version. To install, users must set the iPhone's age rating to "Unrated" and use Safari. A campaign running from September 2 to September 22 offers 50 DMM points to all participants and a lottery for up to 3,000 DMM points.
EXNOA announced DMM GAMES will exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with its largest booth ever, located in Hall 3 of Makuhari Messe. The booth will feature hands-on previews of Touken Ranbu Puzzgiri and Muv-Luv Girls Garden, plus stage events with special guests, including a fripSide live and a Touken Ranbu joint stage.
KADOKAWA announced on August 20, 2026 that the PC version of the new KonoSuba game, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! - Prosperity in This Beloved City! (abbreviated Machisuba), will be distributed on DMM GAMES. The game is a smartphone and PC title based on the KonoSuba anime and original light novel, retaining the series' worldview and characters while offering an original story. Natsume Akatsuki, the original author, supervises production, and Kurone Mishima, the original illustrator, provides production cooperation. The genre is described as an "another world trouble life RPG." The smartphone version is available for pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play, with a 2026 release planned. To mark the platform decision, a special stage program, "Machisuba Special Stage in TGS2026," will be held at the DMM GAMES booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 on September 20, starting at 15:00. The stage will feature Jun Fukushima, the voice actor for protagonist Kazuma, and KADOKAWA game producer Taiki Fujii, who will share the latest information and highlights. The event will be viewable on-site and via a YouTube live stream.
DMM GAMES has announced that the PC RPG Tenkei Paradox will end service on August 26, 2026, approximately four years after its launch. The game was one of the titles commemorating DMM GAMES' 10th anniversary. Paid diamond purchases are suspended from July 13, and refunds will be available from August 26 to November 26. A CG collection with unreleased data is in preparation.
DMM Games' new title Dot Abyss, releasing June 11, is the debut work under the Kumasan Black label. The game features all female characters with exaggerated soft, squishy (mochimochi) designs, with clothing accessories that emphasize thigh plumpness. The developer describes it as a wholesome game, but the obsessive focus on mochimochi across every character makes that label feel questionable.
