Product
Mobile Gaming Portfolio
Gree’s mobile gaming portfolio spans RPGs to sims and often licenses anime IPs, driving ¥62.4bn in mobile revenue in FY2024 and sustaining top-5 share in Japan mobile grossing titles.
By end-2025 Gree integrated advanced live-ops (A/B-tested events, dynamic pricing), lifting 30-day retention by ~12 points and reducing churn vs 2022.
Games feature console-grade graphics and deep narratives, targeting casual and hardcore players across 120+ markets with average ARPU up 8% in 2024.
Metaverse and VR Services
Gree, via subsidiary REALITY, expanded its metaverse footprint with a virtual live-streaming platform where users customize 3D avatars and interact in social virtual spaces; monthly active users reached ~6.2 million by end-2025 and VR/AR feature adoption rose 28% year-over-year. The product shifts engagement to social-driven digital experiences and drove a 14% uplift in in-app purchases in FY2025, showing monetization from avatar sales and virtual events.
Social Networking Platform
The original GREE social networking service remains a core pillar, hosting 18 million monthly active users (MAU) in 2025 and serving as a hub for community interaction and integrated gaming experiences.
It has evolved into a digital ecosystem where users manage gaming profiles, join 120,000+ forum groups, and access exclusive content that increased in-app ARPU to ¥420 ($2.9) in FY2024.
The platform functions as the foundational layer for cross-promotion, accounting for 28% of new-game installs and driving 34% of GREE’s digital-service revenue in 2024.
Investment and Incubation
Gree’s investment and incubation arm backs gaming, AI, and blockchain startups, creating a feed of tech into its core gaming and social platforms; by late 2025 the arm held ~28 startups and contributed 14% of new-platform features rolled out in 2024–25.
This strategy raised platform R&D efficiency: internal adoption cuts external dev spend by an estimated ¥1.2 billion (~$170M) from 2022–25, keeping Gree aligned with internet and entertainment tech shifts.
- Portfolio size: ~28 startups (late 2025)

Digital Content and IP Licensing
GREE develops and licenses original IP and partners with major media houses to create cross-media projects—digital manga, music, and videos—that extend its gaming franchises and social platforms, boosting user engagement and retention.
By managing diverse digital assets, GREE extends franchise lifecycles and monetizes via licensing, streaming, and in-app tie-ins; in FY2024 GREE reported ¥64.2bn revenue, with digital content/licensing contributing an estimated 18% of total revenue.
