CyberStep, Inc. is a Japanese global online video game developer and publisher. The company was founded on April 1, 2000.

History

CyberStep is a developer and publisher of online video games. Headquartered in Japan, CyberStep has local branches in the United States, Taiwan, Korea, the Netherlands and Indonesia.[citation needed] The company was founded on April 1, 2000.[1]

CyberStep has developed seven online games: notably the third-person shooter Cosmic Break in 2008, the action MMORPG Onigiri in 2013, and Dawn of the Breakers in 2018. In 2017,[2] Cyberstep released its English language version of Toreba, where online players can pay to control crane games to win prizes.

On March 14, 2023, CyberStep launched a new visual novel game brand, Rabbitfoot, with a focus on virtual YouTubers.[3]

Controversy

CyberStep has developed a notorious reputation internationally by critics and players of its games for its gashapon-based monetisation model.[4]

In 2020,[5] Cyberstep faced lawsuits regarding employees tampering with machines to prevent wins in its online crane game, Toreba.
