Honestly thank fuck for that. Obviously pleased it's been clarified now but what a needless waste of mental energy it's been stressing about all this.

GTA 6 squeaks into eligibility for The Game Awards 2026 by the smallest of margins - but can it break Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's record number of wins? https://bit.ly/3WcF6U5

Buyitbuyitbuyit.

Dupery: A Game Of Solo Deduction is OUT NOW on Steam! 🕵️ Sleuth your way through this corrupt noir city to unveil criminals. The traitors are hiding in plain sight, will you get duped? Over 175 roles to discover, everyone is a suspect, trust no one. You're up, Detective. #gaming #indiegame #crime

It is true. Fuck me - that is amazing. I finished Star Wars Outlaws on Luna and it was great; this is a real endorsement of the tech if they're pushing a high-octane racer on the service. Wow. That's my evening sorted.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be available to play on cloud gaming service Amazon Luna at launch as part of a Prime subscription www.gamesindustry.biz/star-wars-ga...

Um. I know people say "huge if true" sarcastically but this is genuinely huge if true.

Was just looking at the data a popular Steam analytics platform has across our portfolio. Nine games are within 25 percent of the actual (over or under); almost third are more than 50 percent out. It underestimates 48 percent of our releases. Good times.

Switch and PlayStation players - the tavern will soon be open. Get ready for blackjack like you've never seen it before - coming October 9th.

Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers is coming to console! Battle your way to the top with more than the 52 card deck. We're talking tarot cards, credit cards, birthday cards & more. This is blackjack like you've never seen it before. The tavern opens on PS5 and Switch on Oct 9th! #gaming #indiegame

I'm pleased to report I've still got it. The Royal Writ is out now on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox and Game Pass. Really happy more people now have the opportunity to play this brilliant deckbuilder.

Counterpoint against the cloud gaming grumps: prompted by the GTA hype and realising I'd like a more convenient way to play it, I bought a second hand PlayStation Portal off eBay. I've been impressed with the cloud streaming side of it. SpiderMan 2 handheld is much more playable than on handheld PC.

We've had a year of the Royal Writ and still a fucking belter. I wonder what's coming next?

HARK! Listen up loyal subjects. There's exciting news for The Royal Writ on the cards...all will be revealed soon... For now if you've loved the game please consider leaving a review on Steam - We'd be super grateful! 🐦‍⬛❤️ #gaming #indiegame #gamingnews #discover

This looks great.

Trial of the Space Invaders: The Case that Changed Video Games The true story of Nintendo’s years-long legal battle to establish who invented video games, and the secret, never-before-revealed settlement that profoundly shaped today’s industry. I cannot wait to share it with you. Coming: Jan 2027

I dunno why anyone would pay to get rid of adverts on Reddit when you'd miss on placements like this. I'd like to think it's deliberate on the part of Specsavers. If so - bravo.

Happy Tiny Teams Day to all who celebrate. It's an extraordinary effort from the Yogs team to organise and manage this event - thanks to all the devs and publishers supporting us this year. There are some cracking Champion games and a host of other discounts and demos. Please enjoy. (From 6pm UK).

We really like this game - do give it a look and consider supporting if it's your thing too.

I really want this project to get funded and for these devs to do well. Throw a coin to your game dev 🫵 www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

I feel uncomfortable acknowledging compliments but I'm very happy to have played a small part in the success of Human: Fall Flat. Happy 10th birthday! What an incredible ride.

I'm now officially the bravest gamer in the country. What a fucking terrifying/great game that was. First half of it absolutely up there with the scariest I've played. Horrible. Brilliant.
