Runway and Japanese gaming, sports and entertainment company MIXI announced an enterprise partnership on June 29, 2026. MIXI has deployed Runway across creative operations spanning sports, lifestyle and digital entertainment, and the companies plan to collaborate on new creative use cases and explore emerging applications across gaming, animation and interactive experiences. MIXI, known for the mobile game Monster Strike, which has run for over 10 years and amassed more than 65 million users globally, and the family photo-sharing platform FamilyAlbum with more than 30 million users, reported significant cost and time savings from using Runway: a video production for the Traditional Chinese version of Monster Strike that previously required 21 days was completed in three days entirely in-house; a brand film that would have taken 20 days with traditional tools was produced in seven; and visual proposals for character animations, in-app effects and screen transitions can now be created in as little as five minutes, compared with a process that previously took several days. The partnership follows Runway’s recent expansion in Japan, including opening a Tokyo office as its Japan headquarters and committing an initial $40M to build its presence in the country.
