MSI Computer Japan Co., Ltd. has announced a major update to “DigiME,” a beginner-friendly VTuber software offered under PC and gaming brand MSI, along with a collaboration with popular VTuber “kson.” The update brings tighter VRoid Hub integration, advanced lighting controls and new facial-expression features.

Targeting beginners through a partnership with kson

“DigiME” is a VTuber-focused software defined by real-time avatar tech and an intuitive UI. MSI has now signed a partnership with kson, a leader in the VTuber community, restating DigiME’s mission of making professional-quality virtual streaming approachable for everyone. The setup is designed to make the software easier to position for fans trying VTubing for the first time.

DigiME is offered as an all-in-one toolkit, letting users quickly create and customize a high-quality virtual avatar and start streaming. According to MSI, the goal is an environment that focuses creators on content creation itself, rather than on technical complexity.

Major updates: VRoid Hub integration and Perfect Sync support

The biggest change in this update is direct integration with VRoid Hub. Users can now import avatars directly from VRoid Hub or upload VRM files, dramatically speeding up character switching for both beginners and experienced creators (*VRoid Hub integration is currently in development and will be released soon).

On the facial-tracking side, DigiME now supports Perfect Sync, enabling more precise motion capture and smoother expression mapping. With Perfect Sync-compatible blendshape models, the software delivers more realistic and responsive facial animation.

Expression presets and pro-grade lighting controls

A new feature lets users instantly switch between 9 customizable expression presets via hot keys or the UI — designed to enrich on-stream interaction with viewers.

On the lighting side, pro-grade controls have been added, letting users fine-tune avatar lighting, scene lighting and overall brightness for a stream look tailored to their preferences.

Looking ahead: positioning DigiME as a starting point for new VTubers

MSI positions DigiME as an environment where the next generation of virtual creators can focus on content creation rather than technical hurdles. DigiME can be downloaded from its official page, with more details on how to create a virtual avatar available on this introduction page. More initiatives — including additional joint work with kson — and continued software feature expansions are also previewed.

Takeaways

A PC maker tapping a VTuber with kson’s reach for its own VTuber software signals that the “VTuber ecosystem” race among hardware and peripheral brands has entered a new phase. The head-on VRoid Hub integration and Perfect Sync support are solid catch-up features against competing tools, and especially for newcomers thinking about getting started, this announcement lowers the bar to entry. How quickly MSI ships follow-up kson initiatives and UI refinements will determine whether DigiME sticks.
