Hello Kitty is not just something you buy anymore. Sanrio wants you to play inside the world.
If Hello Kitty already shows up in what you wear, gift, or collect, Sanrio now wants the same characters showing up in your next Switch play session too.
Sanrio shows up by owning what happens after discovery: the platform, community, commerce, or repeat habit people keep returning to.
If Hello Kitty keeps showing up in your feed, in store collabs, on pouches, or in gifts, that is not random. That is the system working.
Sanrio launched Sanrio Games, a self-publishing label that will release Sanrio Party Land on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in fall 2026.
