The original game ended its online service in July 2020. However, Liber Entertainment updated the game on the same day to work offline. This offline version was available until December 2020. A new game titled I★CHU Étoile Stage launched in April 2020 and ended service in June 2021. A Nintendo Switch version of the original game launched in Japan in November 2022.
The I★CHU: Halfway Through The Idol television anime debuted in January 2021 and had 12 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.
