Having ended updates for the arcade version in November, Love Live PS4 is a port with all the content from the now-concluded arcade game with English-language support. Even the gacha elements made a return, albeit without the gambling, as collectible cards could be used for costumes that could be scanned in as you play. This game brought the mobile rhythm game experience to arcades with at-the-time new 3D performances accompanying the familiar gameplay, replicated thanks to a dedicated 9-button control scheme. Love Live! School Idol Festival ~after school ACTIVITY~ Wai-Wai! Home Meeting!!

Thanks to these two projects, Love Live became a phenomenon and gave the series the avenues needed to expand with further music groups like Aquors, figures, an arcade game based on the mobile rhythm game, and more. Having found moderate success when it first launched, the two things that truly launched the Love Live franchise into the mainstream consciousness were the premiere of the first season of the anime and the massively popular mobile rhythm game that launched in 2013.
