Gree Holdings is a corporate group operating across five core business areas: games, metaverse, intellectual property (IP), digital transformation (DX), and investments. The company's primary services include developing and operating games for smartphones and home consoles, as well as operating a social gaming platform.

The company serves two main customer types: individual consumers (game and metaverse users) and corporate clients (advertisers, content-using companies, and enterprises seeking DX support). Revenue streams include in-game purchases, download fees, platform commissions, content licensing fees, SaaS and consulting contract revenue, and investment gains from asset sales.

By business segment, the games division comprises WFS, which develops and operates smartphone games; GREE Studios, which plans and develops home console games; and the company itself, which operates the platform. The metaverse division develops and operates "REALITY" and manages VTuber talent. The IP division focuses on content expansion centered on anime and manga. The DX division provides digital transformation support to enterprises primarily in marketing and offers various SaaS solutions. The investment division conducts venture capital and startup investments in domestic and international internet and IT sectors.

Gree Holdings pursues the mission of "making the world better through the Internet." The company's core growth objectives are expanding revenue and operating profit. Key performance indicators include user numbers and revenue per user. The company is capitalizing on favorable market conditions, including a domestic smartphone penetration rate of 80.5% and a projected domestic gaming market size of approximately 2.396 trillion yen in 2024, to enhance corporate value.

The company focuses investment across five pillars: games, metaverse, intellectual property (IP), digital transformation support (DX), and investment operations, with differentiation strategies in each area. In gaming, the company balances revenue stabilization through long-term operation of existing titles with the creation of new hit titles. To achieve this, it pursues in-house development alongside contract development and consumer game planning and development, aiming to expand revenue opportunities through multi-platform deployment.

For new market development and business expansion, the company strengthens the revenue generation of its metaverse platform "REALITY" and continues talent development, discovery, and content investment in the rapidly growing VTuber business both domestically and internationally. In IP operations, the company creates intellectual property through anime and other media, expanding revenue streams through licensing and merchandising. In investment operations, the company pursues long-term investments in domestic and international Internet and IT ventures and startups to secure new revenue sources.

Regarding technological innovation, the company strengthens its DX business through two pillars—DX solutions and consulting—and expands recurring revenue through the transition to cloud-based services and subscription models. The company also pursues sustainable growth by enhancing talent recruitment and development across all business units and strengthening internal controls and risk management systems, supporting both technological development and operational excellence.
