The set includes Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, Pochacco, My Melody, and Kuromi, each with officially supervised voices and personality-specific animations. Pompompurin dozes off while sitting, Pochacco hops around, and Kuromi occasionally takes selfies. The bundle is priced at 10,560 yen including tax, a 20% discount from the regular combined price of 13,200 yen. It is the first six-DLC bundle for Desktop Mate. A multi-character feature allowing Sanrio characters to interact on screen is scheduled for a full release soon. A promotional video showing the characters moving on a desktop has been published on YouTube. The set is available on Steam for Windows 10 and 11, with macOS support added for Tahoe 26 and later via open beta. The sale period runs until March 4, 2027.","whyItMatters":"By bundling six individually released DLCs into a single discounted set, Infinite Loop offers a lower entry point for users who want the full Sanrio lineup on Desktop Mate, a bundling strategy new to the platform.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe six DLCs were originally released individually on March 5, 2026, each priced at 2,200 yen. The bundle saves 2,640 yen over buying them separately. Each character has unique animations beyond the ones previously noted: Hello Kitty gives a heart when clicked; Pompompurin, who won the 2025 Sanrio Character Ranking, gets into a groove when standing; Cinnamoroll eats snacks; My Melody spins in a jump; Kuromi reads a book. The set requires 8GB RAM, an Intel Core i5-8250U or AMD Ryzen 3 3300U or better, and 500MB of storage. macOS support is in open beta for Tahoe 26 or later and requires Apple Silicon; Intel processors are not supported.
