SEGA of Japan has announced that the PS4 versions of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Future Tone as well as their PlayStation VR tech demo featuring Hatsune Miku (simply titled SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku: VR Tech Demo) will be playable at Machi Asobi, an anime event held in Tokushima in Japan from May 3 to May 5.
SEGA of Japan made a bit of a surprise announcement today, as it revealed that a new “Racing Miku 2016 Ver.” module, based on Good Smile’s latest Racing Miku 2016 costume design, will be added as paid DLC to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. The module will cost 300 yen (tax not included) and will be available on the Japanese PlayStation Network on April 28. The announcement is surprising since the last “Racing Miku” module to be added to a Project DIVA game was the 2012 version. Since then, none of the yearly Racing Miku designs (2013 to 2015) were added to the Project DIVA games. Take a look at the 3 screenshots provided by SEGA of Japan below! Hopefully, the module will also make its way to the West when the game is released in the Americas later this Fall.
SEGA of Japan have released a few more screenshots for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, running on the PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, only one of these is in the game’s full 1080P resolution, but they still give us a good look at the graphical improvements compared to the PlayStation Vita version (which is already available in Japan). You can view new the screenshots below. For a more in-depth comparison between both versions, be sure to check our our previous article!
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X is scheduled to be released this fall in the Americas, for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4.
SEGA of Japan recently revealed the first screenshots from the PlayStation 4 version of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, and we thought it might be a good idea to compare them to their counterparts from the game’s PlayStation Vita version. To accomplish this, I captured screenshots from the PlayStation Vita version and upscaled them to 1080P, in order to compare them to the 1080P PS4 screenshots released earlier. As a result, the screenshots posted below from the PS Vita version aren’t really representative of the game’s graphical quality when you actually see it running on the PS Vita’s small, but high-quality, screen. Nonetheless, the game still looks decent when running on a Full HD TV. But given that the PS4 is a much more powerful system, we should expect a significant upgrade. So without further ado, on to the comparisons!

4gamer.net have posted the latest Media Create sales chart for the week running from March 28 to April 3, which shows Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X dropping from its third place in its first week to ninth place. The game sold an additional 10,073 copies, bringing the total to 79,511. For reference, the PlayStation Vita version of Project DIVA F 2nd sold 16,111 copies in its second week (totaling 114,738 copies at the time). So it doesn’t seem like Project DIVA X will be recovering from its slow start. That said, the real test for the franchise will likely be the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone on PlayStation 4, as well as the release of Project DIVA X in the Americas.

It’s been a busy week in terms of Project DIVA news, with the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X yesterday and the reveal of its first PS4 screenshots, a multitude of discount announcements for the Project DIVA games in both the US and EU, and new information regarding Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone on PS4. The latter now got a couple more screenshots, which you can view below.
Today, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X was released in Japan for the PlayStation Vita. At the same time, SEGA have revealed the first 1080P screenshots for the PS4 version of the game, giving us a good look at the technical upgrade! As expected, the game will also run at 60fps. Aside from an increase in resolution, the PS4 version will feature improved textures and lighting. The screenshot for Tsumi no Namai below shows the increased texture resolution in the background, as well as a lot more detail on the flying lilies. It’s a nice visual upgrade, and it’ll be interesting to see how well it compares to the upcoming PS4 version of Project DIVA Arcade (which is also running in 1080P/60fps).
SEGA of Japan have posted a video showing a complete playthrough of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X‘s most difficult medley (on the game’s Extreme difficulty), which you can watch below. We talked about the medley in one of our earlier articles. With no less than 1047 notes and a combination of the most difficult songs in the game, the medley is certain to give even veteran players a challenge. I only ever completed a dozen songs on Extreme in Project DIVA F 2nd, so it’s unlikely I’ll manage to complete this song on Extreme, let alone get a Perfect for it. But does it actually look challenging enough for the Project DIVA experts out there? Let us know what you think about the medley in the comments!
SEGA of Japan have revealed some more information on the Japanese release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone on the PlayStation 4. In fact, the game won’t actually be released as Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone. Rather, the game will be split into two separate versions. The “Future Sound” version will contain about 120 songs from those featured in SEGA’s Project DIVA series. The other version, titled “Colorful Tone”, will contain about 100 songs, featuring those from the arcade version of Future Tone and the “Project Mirai” series on the Nintendo 3DS.
Dengeki Online have posted an hour long video on their Youtube channel where they play Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X and take a closer look at the game’s various gameplay modes. These of course include the Quest Mode (including medleys), but also the game’s Edit Mode and Portrait Mode. You can watch the video below. In addition, Exophase have posted the trophy list for the game. Over at NeoGAF, someone made an effort to figure out the possible conditions required to unlock the achievements.
