V Inc. is a VRChat partner company that produces branded and municipal worlds and conducts consumer research with Hakuhodo. Its next public release is the Cosmic Wonderland world for plantica, opening October 23, 2026.
V Inc. works on VRChat in three visible directions: paid client worlds, public-sector outreach, and market research. The newest is a corporate commission. V Inc. handled direction and production of Cosmic Wonderland, a botanical garden world for flower creative studio plantica, which opens to the public on October 23, 2026. The world is split into four areas (a CORRIDOR entrance, a dome-shaped HALL, a TRAIL, and a LAB) and sets gravity at one-fifth of Earth's so visitors can jump to see the plants from other angles. The LAB holds Japanese and English panels for 24 fictional plant species. A launch listening event runs 20:00 to 23:00 on opening day with DJ Yusuke Shiotani, who composed the background music. The world is enterable from the PC version only.
Before that, V Inc. supported a Taiko Odori experience event hosted by Hioki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, on August 29, 2026. The event ran inside the Taiko Odori world released in January 2026 and was staged with the VRC EN-JP language exchange community. Participants in Japan and abroad used avatars to try the dance, heard about the local festival Myoenji Mairi, and received guidance in Japanese and English.
The research arm points in a different direction. A survey of 1,129 VRChat users by V Inc. and Hakuhodo's Metaverse Consumer Lab found spending concentrated on avatars and costumes (84.1%) and PCs and VR devices (78.1%), with 15.6% spending on real-world travel and events. Participation in company-run worlds reached 60.9%, but recall for company and brand names stayed near 20%. Read together, the three stories show a company that builds branded spaces and also documents that the spending they generate mostly lands outside the brand.
