Immersive anime girl streamer encounters accessible through a VRChat-like application for Hololive enthusiasts
As of August 2025, Holoearth, a virtual space developed by Hololive, one of the biggest vtuber agencies in the world, is now available for download [1]. This interactive platform offers a unique and immersive experience for fans of Hololive VTubers, allowing them to engage with their favourite virtual personalities in a 3D world.
A Metaverse-Style Environment for Hololive Fans
Holoearth serves as a metaverse-style environment where fans can attend streams, events, take photos, and socialize in a richly featured virtual world designed specifically for immersive fan interactions [2]. The current version, 1.0.20, was updated on August 21, 2025, and includes significant new additions and improvements [1][3].
Key Features and Recent Updates
Some of the key features and recent updates in Holoearth include:
- Celestial Arena Watch Party Area: A dedicated space for live performances and watch parties with other users and VTubers, hosting exclusive Hololive events for more interactive fan experiences [1][3].
- Tracking Feature Test for Hololive Talents: Allowing official Hololive production talents to use a standard PC webcam for motion tracking to capture avatar expressions and movements, aiming to enhance user interaction by enabling more expressive avatar poses and gestures during activities [1].
- Expanded Avatar Customization: New avatar items, gestures, and customization options have been added, enhancing personalization in the virtual space [1][3].
- Marketplace Updates: Management of original avatar items is now handled through a web-based Creator Tools portal, streamlining item visibility and sales with new public/private status options and flexible sales settings [3].
- Improvements in User Spaces: The "My Room" feature has been updated by removing some restrictions and improving treasure chest mechanics and UI experiences for smoother gameplay and social interaction [3].
- Enhanced Social Management: To improve user comfort, users who block each other cannot enter shared private areas like Simulation Rooms or Shops [3].
- General Area and UI Updates: The default spawn location was moved to the center of "Alternative City," which received visual enhancements. Photo mode now disables usernames for privacy, except for official users shown regardless of render settings [3].
A Growing Interactive Virtual Community
In practice, Holoearth offers a growing, interactive virtual community with advanced avatar controls, social hubs, and exclusive content spaces tailored for Hololive fans and talents [1][3]. This ongoing development demonstrates Hololive's commitment to innovating virtual fan engagement beyond traditional streaming platforms.
Journalist Tyler Colp, who frequently covers videogames and PC hardware, has been reporting on Holoearth's developments, including its latest updates and the potential for Hololive VTubers to appear in other games, such as Death Stranding 2 [4].
Engaging with Fans in a New Way
The concept of hosting a virtual event where people can interact with each other isn't revolutionary, but Holoearth offers unique opportunities for Hololive vtubers to interact with fans in a more immersive and engaging way. Users can collaborate with vtubers to make merchandise that can be bought and worn for real in Japan [5].
As Holoearth continues to evolve, it's expected that streams may become more frequent in vtubers' schedules, providing fans with even more opportunities to engage with their favourite personalities. With continuous updates planned, the future of Holoearth looks bright for both fans and vtubers alike.
