hololive Dreams

Synthesized from 12 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

hololive Dreams, the first official smartphone game for the hololive VTuber group, launched worldwide on July 23, 2026, after pre-registrations passed 1.5 million. The free-to-play rhythm RPG, developed jointly by Cover and QualiArts, is set in a theme park where players raise over 50 talents, play rhythm games and mini-games, and build a dream park. It launched on iOS, Android, and Steam with over 150 songs, a create-beatmap function, and monthly 290 yen memberships for individual members.

Cover's fiscal year 2027 first-quarter earnings call on August 12 positioned the game as a sustainable business pillar, not a one-off hit. CEO Motoaki Yago said the game brought buried content, especially music videos, back to the surface, with view counts increasing, and noted the possibility that users supporting a single talent might shift to supporting multiple talents or the whole group. CFO Yosuke Kaneko said about 30% of demand currently comes from overseas, on a preliminary basis, and that results were significantly above the conservative assumptions set at the start of the fiscal year, though Cover could not state the degree of upside on its own because of the co-development arrangement.

The live service is building around seasonal events and member-specific songs. The first event, "Hello! Brand New Summer!," ran from July 28 to August 5 with a point rally, swimsuit gacha, and six new songs. The second event, "Syncing Summer Sparkle," features miComet, the unit of Sakura Miko and Hoshimachi Suisei, with three added songs. A solo event, "Ultimate Summer! for Me?," started August 17. QualiArts announced quality-of-life improvements including Red Diamonds in the Mission Pass free tier and PokaJan disconnection fixes.

Cover is pushing the game through physical tie-ins. A snack with collectible stickers launched in June, and the 9th anniversary events in September and October are the first major real-world activations tied to the game, including a walking event in Yokohama and the Holo Hanabi 2026 fireworks and drone show at Saitama Stadium 2002.

Cover Says 2M-Download Hololive Dreams Is a Sustainable Business Pillar

Cover released the transcript of its fiscal year 2027 first-quarter earnings call on August 26. The call, held on August 12, included a Q&A session focused on the mobile and Steam game Hololive Dreams. The game launched worldwide on July 23 and surpassed 2 million downloads after reaching 1 million on its first day. During the call, CEO Motoaki Yago and CFO Yosuke Kaneko answered questions about the game's effect on other businesses, revenue contribution, and long-term sustainability. Yago said the game has brought previously buried content, especially music videos, back to the surface, and view counts are increasing. He also noted the possibility that users supporting a single talent may shift to supporting multiple talents or the entire group. Kaneko said about 30% of demand for the game currently comes from overseas, on a preliminary basis. Regarding revenue, Kaneko explained that because the project involves a co-development company, Cover cannot state the degree of upside on its own, but results are significantly above the conservative assumptions set at the start of the fiscal year.
