hololive Dreams Day-One Launch Checklist

hololive Dreams went live on July 23, 2026 across iOS, Android, and Steam. Launch day is the highest-value window in the entire first month — pre-registration gifts, the Release Celebration Login Bonus, Redraw Gacha rerolls, and the start of the Extra Song Campaign all stack together. This checklist walks you through every step in the right order so nothing expires in your mailbox and you start with maximum free gacha currency.

Before You Open the Game

1. Install from official stores only — App Store, Google Play, or Steam. Use links on our download page to avoid fake APKs.
2. Reserve storage space — The initial download plus cached MV assets can exceed 4 GB. Connect to Wi-Fi.
3. Decide your platform — Mobile for touch rhythm, Steam for longer sessions. You can link both later via cross-save.

Step 1: Create Account and Enable Cross-Save

During first launch, register your player name and birth date, then link a Google, Apple, or Nintendo account (platform-dependent) for cross-save. COVER recommends linking before you invest time in the Redraw Gacha or tutorial. Progress syncs between phone and PC once linked — critical if you plan to switch devices mid-session.

If you pre-registered, use the same store account where possible so milestone tracking aligns. Pre-registration rewards deliver automatically; no separate code entry is required.

Step 2: Claim All Mailbox Rewards

Open the in-game mailbox immediately after the tutorial gate opens. You should see:

• 2,500 Diamonds from the 1.5M pre-registration milestone
• ★4+ Guaranteed Gacha Ticket and Gacha Ticket x5
• Music Disk x3
• Memory “Live Stage Day/Night” and Memory “Park Day/Night”
• Pixel Sunglasses and Kawaii Hairpin for all 54 launch holomem

These items do not expire quickly, but claiming them early lets you use tickets during your first serious pull session. Full details are on the pre-registration rewards page.

Step 3: Complete Redraw Gacha Before Binding Progress

The Redraw Gacha lets new accounts reroll until they obtain one holomem at the highest rarity. Do this before you grow attached to early tutorial progress you cannot easily reset.

• Pick a holomem you enjoy, or consult the tier list for rhythm-focused picks like Suisei, Pekora, or Marine.
• Japanese community rankings also highlight Pavolia Reine and Nakiri Ayame as strong reroll targets — meta varies by region.
• Stop when satisfied; marathon rerolling beyond 30 minutes rarely beats using your ★4+ ticket afterward.

See the dedicated Redraw Gacha guide for delete-data reset steps if you want a completely fresh account.

Step 4: Run the Tutorial and First Rhythm Live

Finish the rhythm tutorial to unlock Dream Park. Adjust note speed in settings before judging difficulty — most new players benefit from slightly faster scroll speed once they understand lane layout.

Clear your first Live, then accept Holomem Stage quests on the map. These unlock additional playable talents without spending Diamonds — the fastest free roster expansion on day one.

Step 5: Start the Login Bonus Streak

The Release Celebration Login Bonus grants Diamonds equivalent to ten gacha pulls across consecutive login days during the campaign. Log in every day even for five minutes. Missing a day may forfeit that day’s payout depending on in-game rules.

Day-one login also starts your streak for the Extra Song Campaign tracking — new songs drop daily for 15 days starting July 24.

Step 6: Check Day-One Song Additions

The Extra Song Campaign adds 25 songs over 15 days. Day one (July 24 JST) typically brings the first batch. Check @holo_dreams_en each morning, then confirm new tracks in your song select screen. Play each new song once on Normal to register rewards.

Our song library guide tracks launch staples and campaign additions.

Step 7: Spend Currency Wisely on Day One

Recommended priority order:

1. Use free Gacha Tickets and the ★4+ ticket before spending Diamonds.
2. Save premium Diamonds for upcoming limited banners unless a launch banner features your oshi.
3. Do not buy Music Disks from the shop until you know which songs you farm regularly.
4. Check the codes page — no active promo codes yet, but we update the moment one drops.

First-Week Daily Routine

After day one, repeat this 15-minute loop:

1. Login → collect mailbox and login bonus.
2. Check Extra Song Campaign announcements.
3. Clear daily rhythm missions and one park quest.
4. Talk to holomem NPCs with quest markers on the map.

Upcoming: hololive 9th Anniversary Event

COVER has teased a hololive production 9th anniversary collaboration planned around October 2026. Expect limited banners, exclusive songs, and possible promo codes. Bookmark the launch events hub — we will add details when official dates confirm.

Day-One Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping mailbox claims before pulling — tickets and Diamonds stack with Redraw results.
• Forgetting cross-save link — losing progress when switching to Steam hurts.
• Burning all Diamonds on day one — login bonuses continue all week.
• Ignoring Holomem Stage quests — free characters beat one extra gacha pull for most accounts.

Launch week is generous by design. Follow this checklist, enjoy the official trailer content, and explore Dream Park at your own pace.
