hololive Dreams

hololive Dreams is a free-to-play rhythm and RPG from QualiArts and Cover, available on iOS, Android, and PC via Steam, with a live service running new events and member additions. First-month data puts Japan above 70 percent of downloads and revenue, and Cover describes the game division as a highly sustainable business pillar.

Synthesized from 14 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 18

hololive Dreams launched on July 23, 2026 for iOS, Android, and Steam as the first official smartphone game for the hololive VTuber group. QualiArts developed it with Cover. It is a free-to-play rhythm and RPG set in a theme park, with more than 150 songs at launch, a create-beatmap function, and a roster of over 50 talents. Pre-registrations passed 1 million on May 30 and 1.5 million by launch. Physical tie-ins preceded the release: a CyberAgent snack with game-original stickers, in three volumes, and a second volume with 20 sticker designs.

After launch, QualiArts and Cover built the live service around seasonal events and member-specific tracks. The first event, "Hello! Brand New Summer!," began July 28 with five members, a swimsuit gacha, and six songs. A miComet event, "Syncing Summer Sparkle," followed on August 7 with three songs. A solo event, "Ultimate Summer! for Me?," started August 17 with five talents and chapters rotating every two days. The most recent event, "Innocent Two, Watching Eyes," added Takane Lui, Fuwawa Abyssgard, and Mococo Abyssgard as new five-star members and runs until September 17. QualiArts also announced adjustments to the Mission Pass free tier and fixes for PokaJan disconnections.

Cover's August 26 earnings call transcript covered the game's business position. Downloads passed 2 million after reaching 1 million on the first day. CEO Motoaki Yago said the game brought music videos back to the surface with rising view counts, and CFO Yosuke Kaneko put overseas demand at about 30 percent on a preliminary basis. Kaneko said results are significantly above the conservative assumptions set at the start of the fiscal year, though the co-development arrangement limits what Cover can state about its own upside. The company materials assess the game division as steadily getting off the ground as a highly sustainable business pillar.

Sensor Tower's September 15 first-month data shows Japan took more than 70 percent of both downloads and revenue from July 23 to August 22, with South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong ranking high. The iPhone version reached first place in Japan on July 25, 26, and August 1, and first in Hong Kong on July 28, August 7, 8, and 17. Real-world promotion is set for the fall: the Holo~Cal Yokohama Arc walking event runs September 18 to October 9 with seven talents, and Holo Hanabi 2026 takes place October 15 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. The company materials assess the game division as steadily getting off the ground as a highly sustainable business pillar.
