– A crazy football take on the game of checkers  –

London,  June 15, 2026  – Sparkling Vinegar and Tiny Dragon Games announced today that the demo for their upcoming game, SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro, is now available on Steam.

SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro drops you into the high-energy chaos of a wild football league where classic checkers meets hard-hitting strategy and the football fantasy of offensive and defensive lines, ball carriers, and big collisions.

The game casts the player as a British ex-soccer coach hired to manage an American football team and bring it to the highest ranks of a very special league. While the standard rules of checkers apply, the player will alternate between attack and defense, trying to outsmart their opponent. Winning the traditional way in Checkers, or bringing the ball to the final line, the player learns to unleash game-changing special powers that can flip the match in an instant: Rewind the last turn or deliver a dummy and block a tile, the game isn’t over until it’s over (and the referee isn’t exactly helping).

The game lets the player charge through the story mode, defeat the league’s toughest teams and their totally unhinged coaches, and unlock powerful new abilities, fame and new sponsors as they climb their way to football glory. 

The demo features the bronze league of SFTP. The full game, coming this Summer, will feature the rest of the tournament, each with new teams and their unhinged coaches, teaching the player new powers, and leading to an epic final match. The full game will also include two additional modes:

• An arcade mode, where the player can hone their skills in quick matches against the 3 different difficulty levels of the computer, or fight one of their friends in local multiplayer on the same PC. 
• An Online multiplayer mode, where players compete against one another in public or private lobbies.

The full version of  SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro is scheduled to release this Summer on PC, and players can add it to their wishlist on Steam now.

(June 15, 2026) – Disruptive Games is pleased to announce that its co-op multiplayer extraction game, Wreck Runners, will also be released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles, as well as the previously confirmed PC launch. Set in the Bermuda Triangle, this chaotic, loot-gathering, sometimes-spooky-often-hilarious game will be released later in 2026. 

Watch the Wreck Runners console announcement trailer:

The extremely benevolent and not at all suspicious Trustwell Corporation has an urgent contract and it needs you and up to three friends to head to the Bermuda Triangle. You’ll explore the vast reaches of this tropical destination in search of valuable loot and profits for your mother company. Just don’t ask about the ominous and encroaching Fog. 

Hop into your all-terrain and aquatic vehicle, the ORCA, and venture out into the murky depths, unsafe skies, and a world that’s collapsing around you, aiming to locate precious salvage. Your Scrapjack tool can help too, as you wrangle with its physics-based grappler to wrest loot from difficult to reach places. 

Every run is unpredictable and you’ll need to brave unnatural creatures and the elements, including that pesky Fog, to get out safely. In between these runs, you’ll have the opportunity to turn your loot into treasure. Use your earnings to gain better equipment, upgrades, and even a fresh look for you and your crew. Being a wreck runner isn’t always easy, but with comms and collaboration, you’ll become Trustwell’s best employees.

Wreck Runners is coming to PC via Steam, as well as Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, on July 16, 2026.

It combines moderate complexity and divisional-level strategy with historically inspired units and production. Play as any major nation from the Axis, Allies, or Comintern.

Go live from a house that should have stayed empty. Survive the subathon. Figure out what it wants — before your audience does.

SAN FRANCISCO — June 15, 2026 — Skystone Games, in partnership with developer RedDeer.Games, today unveiled Dark Stream, a first-person psychological horror game about a disgraced content creator chasing one last viral moment inside a house rumored to be haunted for decades. The catch: the stream is live, the chat is watching, and the haunting reacts to both of you. The demo is live right now, and can be played on Steam immediately.

You play a creator with everything to prove and nothing left to lose. Armed with a laptop, a flickering flashlight, and a live chat feed, you push deeper into the house to uncover its violent past — and survive the encounters waiting inside it. This isn’t exploration. You’re stepping directly into active paranormal events that react to you.

Every anomaly is its own twisted performance. Objects shift with intent. Sounds linger where they shouldn’t. Whispers crawl through the static like they’ve been waiting for an audience. Each encounter is a tense, interactive investigation: observe, interpret, and experiment to understand what’s happening before the nightmare takes hold. Correct reads stabilize the anomaly and reveal the truth. Mistakes escalate everything, turning the house unpredictable and hostile.

And you’re never alone on stream. A fully integrated Twitch chat reacts in real time. They’ll support you when things go bad, feed the chaos for fun, or spam “F” while it all falls apart. Either way, they’re staying until the end. As you unlock more rooms, the fragments connect, the objects, the spaces, and the way the house warps around you – into something far bigger than a single haunting.

Dark Stream is coming to PC via Steam. Wishlist now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4028450/Dark_Stream/

Key Features

• A haunting that reacts to you — anomalies respond to your actions, not a script. Read them right or watch them turn on you.
• Live Twitch chat integration — your audience reacts in real time and becomes part of the experience.
• Interactive investigation horror — observe, interpret, and experiment your way through each encounter.
• A house with a violent past — piece together the full story as you unlock rooms and confront what’s inside.
• Survive the subathon — keep the stream alive as the haunting awakens and the pressure mounts.
