holo Indie began as a year-round submission brand for fan games and, on May 1, 2026, moved to a seasonal system with three application periods per year. Cover Corporation's Takayuki Hatano and Kikuo Saga cited application volume outpacing system capacity, and total downloads passed 3 million since launch. CCMC Corp., a wholly owned Cover subsidiary, publishes the output and handles production support.
The catalog that followed runs from free to budget-priced and spans several genres. HoloTrials: Case Covered, a free mystery adventure set in the holoHigh parallel world, went up on Steam on September 10. Suba Pogo, a pogo-stick jump action game built around Oozora Subaru, arrived September 14 at 380 yen. Deco! Hololive Seal Battle, a sticker auto-battler with 12 talents and a ranked mode, launched September 3 at 1,280 yen. ReGLOSS: CROSS, a 490 yen puzzle game built around five ReGLOSS members, followed on October 15. Holo Dungeon, a roguelike from VELUX STUDIO, has been in Early Access since January 30 and added English support, three dungeons, and six Hollows in a June 25 update.
Console distribution expanded in September. Holo no Treasure Mountain Tenkomori Ver. Nintendo Switch 2 Edition went on sale September 17 at 2,800 yen with a 400 yen Upgrade Pass for owners of the Switch version. Puchi Holo no Mura, the roboqlo slow-life RPG, opened Switch 2 preorders on October 15 for an October 22 release at 2,900 yen on the Nintendo eShop, alongside its Steam version from April 2026.
Ongoing titles continue to get content. Star Sora Iro Fantasy added an AZKi pack on September 25, Koro-san's Home WAN! Derby added a Kuma-rin mode, and Puchi Holo no Mura added FLOW GLOW villagers in an August 24 update. HoloCozy opened a Steam page on August 19 with a five-talent roster, then released a free demo limited to Tokino Sora on October 4; the full version is listed for within 2026 with price undecided. BaeSplit: Chaos Down Under has a Steam page and no release date. Holostars' Aragami Oga is producing ARGM G Create in RPG Maker MZ, and the finished work still has to pass the brand's standard review.
