Hololive Dreams is a unique rhythm game, blended with RPG elements, developed by Cover and the Hololive production company. The game aims to attract new players to rhythm gameplay by incorporating RPG mechanics, expanding its scale and making it accessible to a wider audience. Released on July 23, the game features over 50 Hololive virtual influencers, each represented by a playable character, and more than 150 songs, including original tracks and covers.

The game's narrative revolves around developing a virtual uninhabited island theme park, with players completing quests to expand their presence.
