Tamagotchi Uni first launched last summer and the company unveiled a big feature update in the form of the Tama Portal. The Tamagotchi Uni digital pet toy runs on WiFi and explores the Tamaverse, which is a virtual platform that broadens the experience.
Players can send their pets and characters out to meet one another, purchase outfits, go on small vacations, and participate in activities. The new update builds on these existing experiences by taking it a step further. This includes DLC packs that are Tamaverse Tickets, allowing players to travel to new locations through the portal. It also answers the players' ask for more item storage with the 'My Box' function to stow away surplus items. THe first ticket takes players to Very Berry Land for free and the second is the LoveMelo Concert for $6.
