Infinite Loop is actively expanding the Desktop Mate platform with new character DLC, having released a Sanrio bundle in June 2026 and the final Piapro Characters DLC in July 2026.
Infinite Loop has been releasing DLC for its desktop mascot platform Desktop Mate, with two major drops in mid-2026. On June 26, the company began sales of the Desktop Mate Sanrio Characters DLC Set, a bundle of six previously released character DLCs at a 20% discount. The set includes Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, Pochacco, My Melody, and Kuromi, each with officially supervised voices and personality-specific animations. It is the first six-DLC bundle for Desktop Mate, and a multi-character interaction feature is scheduled for a full release soon.
On July 9, Infinite Loop released DLC for virtual singers MEIKO and KAITO on Desktop Mate, completing the lineup of all six Piapro Characters on the platform. Each DLC is priced at 2,200 yen on Steam and adds 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voice lines. Both characters include an alarm function that displays them full-screen at a set time. Desktop Mate itself is a free app that displays 3D characters on the PC screen, with additional DLC available for other characters.

Infinite Loop released DLC for virtual singers MEIKO and KAITO on the Desktop Mate platform on July 9, 2026. The paid add-ons, each priced at 2,200 yen, are available on Steam and add new 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voice lines. MEIKO, who debuted in November 2004 as the first Japanese-language virtual singer, can be seen striking poses, singing, fixing her hair, relaxing with a drink, and waving when pinched. KAITO, the first male Japanese virtual singer since February 2006, performs singing gestures, poses, eats ice cream, and exits with a polite bow. Both characters have an alarm function that displays them full-screen at a set time. Desktop Mate itself is a free app that displays 3D characters on the PC screen, with additional DLC available for other characters. With the release of MEIKO and KAITO, all six Piapro Characters are now represented in Desktop Mate.
