Cash Cleaner Simulator Console Versions Launch Day Early Alongside New DLC

Wield the powerful Money Machine Gun in the LOUD AND LOADED DLC on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S on Feb. 11

HILVERSUM, NETHERLANDS – 30, Jan. 2026 – Cash Cleaner Simulator, the satisfying money processing sim from developer Mind Control Games and publisher Forklift Interactive, launches a day early on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, for completely normal and non-suspicious reasons that nobody needs to know more about.

To further divert your attention, Cash Cleaner Simulator’s LOUD AND LOADED DLC also launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on Feb. 11. Make it rain with new toys like the Money Machine Gun.

Scrounge up piles of dirty money that require cleaning from clients that have absolutely nothing shady going on at all. Clean each asset with a rolodex of tools, including washing machines and money counters, among other shady methods. Turn rusty coins, crinkly bills, and rare valuables into “generous payments” at the end of a job well done. 

Trudge through the depths of the dark web on a jailbroken smartphone to seek new jobs of all shapes and sizes. Surf through mattresses, bags, and boxes, all while scanning each surrounding for helpful tips to complete each job as efficiently as possible. Uncover hidden spots with a UV lamp, or wait till nighttime for other places to store cash. Can you really trust the banks?

Unwind from a long day of making green by shooting hoops in a game of Moneyball, watch dollar bills fly with a money gun, or throw some spares in the furnace, because who doesn’t like watching things burn? Purchase furniture and paint schemes to decorate a hideout. Invest hard-earned cash to upgrade equipment and purchase new tools to become the greatest (and most notorious) money cleaner around. Just don’t ask where the exit is. 

“Look, we had good reasons to bump up the console launch by a day, I can’t get into them, but it’s fine, it’s normal, I swear, look at this new DLC,” said Leonid Gorbachev, CEO of Mindcontrol Games.

Cash Cleaner Simulator launches on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, joining last year’s release on PC via Steam. The base game costs $19.99, with the LOUD AND LOADED DLC costing $9.99.

New Amazon-Themed World “Jungle Jamboree” Launches February 5

Faaast penguin removes Epic Games account requirement, adds voice chat

TOKYO – Jan. 29, 2026Faaast Penguin, the free chaotic survival action game developed by historia Inc., launches a major new update on February 5, 2026. The update removes the Epic Games account requirement and introduces in-game voice chat, making it easier than ever for new players to jump in and play together.

Starting with the Feb. 5 update, Faaast Penguin no longer requires an Epic Games account to play, lowering the barrier for new players to jump straight into the action. Previously, Epic Games account registration and linking were mandatory, but players can now race online without creating or connecting an account. Those who choose to link an Epic Games account can still share progression across platforms and use their Epic Games friends list for party invites.

Party play has also been expanded with the addition of in-game voice chat, allowing players to talk with party members in real time during races. Players can now create and join parties even without being friends, making it faster to jump into matches together, and enjoy shared moments of chaotic fun.

The update also kicks off Season 9 with a new Amazon-themed world, “Jungle Jamboree.” Set across dense forests, winding rivers, and towering treetops, the four new courses introduce mischievous monkeys and new environmental gimmicks that shake up every run. Full details, including course overviews and new mechanics, are available on the official site.

A new gameplay gimmick, the Monkey, makes its debut in “Jungle Jamboree.” Attacking a monkey causes it to grab and carry players forward, with the option to launch at a well-timed moment for strategic positioning or bursts of speed. Chaining monkeys together opens new routes and high-risk, high-reward shortcuts across each course.

In addition, a limited-time event titled “Hamster Paradise” is currently underway through Feb. 11, at 8:00 PM (PST). Players can race as fluffy, round-cheeked hamsters and earn exclusive cosmetic items through the in-game shop and challenges, offering a playful contrast to the wild setting of “Jungle Jamboree.”

Players jumping in before the launch of “Jungle Jamboree” can also take advantage of a limited-time 5x Season Pass point bonus, running until Feb. 4, at 8:00 PM (PST). The boost makes it easier for latecomers and returning players to unlock Season 8 rewards and earn exclusive items before the season wraps up.

Faaast Penguin is available to play for free and supports cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store. Online multiplayer is available without requiring Nintendo Switch Online or PlayStation Plus subscriptions. Stay connected with the latest updates on the official site, X (formerly Twitter), and Discord.

Wager Lifeblood in Deadly Dice-Rolling Roguelite Menherarium on PC Feb 18

Fill and bet blood vials with a new demo launching on Steam Monday, Feb. 9

TOKYO — Jan. 29, 2026 — Menherarium, the bloodletting blood-betting roguelite dice survival game developed by Tezcatlipoca and published by Phoenixx Inc., gathers blood bags for its Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026 launch on PC via Steam, alongside a new demo releasing on Steam on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026. 

Meet Menhera-chan, a charming yet psychotic gambling connoisseur who may or may not enjoy the taste of blood. Endure a seven-day gauntlet of throwing dice with Menhera-Chan, where each day punctures the jugular with new rules to remember — not to worry, she doesn’t mind a broken rule here and there. 

Roll the dice each day to recover blood, but throw a bad hand, and Menhera-chan sips a bit of the player’s blood. Stop the bleeding with health-restoring items, and tilt the odds in your favor with modifiable dice and re-roll chances. 

End each day by tuning into the Menhera Network, where she grades each day’s performance based on various categories, including Vitality, GutsChivalry, and Likeability. Why do those metrics matter while gambling? Remember, Menhara-chan is a bit quirky, to say the least. 

Menhara-chan grants coins for every day survived — use them to purchase consumables, extra rolls, or emergency health kits. Cheat and outthink Menhera-chan to survive as many days as possible before the seventh day approaches. Who knows how satiated she’ll be by the end of this bloody affair? 

“Our first demo during last October’s Steam Next Fest really showed a thirst for Menhera-chan’s twisted game,” said Tezcatlipoca’s Director. “With next month’s release, we can’t wait to draw more victims into her strange, sanguine domain.” 

Menherarium launches on PC via Steam on Feb. 18, 2026. Follow Phoenixx and Tezcatlipoca on X for the latest updates. 

About Tezcatlipoca

Tezcatlipoca is a game creator collective consisting of five creators based out of Japan. Menherarium is their first title.

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 Schedules Delivery on Steam for PC This Q3 2026

SayGames, publisher with more than eight billion downloads, reveals its debut PC-first title

Jan. 29, 2026 – Publisher SayGames and developer PLAYSTROM today reveal Shipping Store Simulator 2037, the management sim with robotic employees, coming Q3 2026 to Steam for PC. This release marks the first time SayGames has launched a title as a PC-first experience, following the multiplatform success of My Little Universe and more than eight billion downloads across its portfolio.

Opening up Rocket Post for package pickup and delivery was a risky endeavor, especially when QuickBox dominates the city of Cranelock. At the start, you and you alone have to receive incoming deliveries, label packages for customers to pick up, and then hand them over. It can all seem like too much…thankfully in the year 2037, robots exist and after earning some revenue, can handle the menial tasks at Rocket Post.

Keep Rocket Post running smoothly by purchasing robots to handle key tasks, while also managing the budget, and finding opportunities to expand. Help maintain the robotic staff, as they sometimes need repairs, or can slip on spills in the store. Treat them well, purchase supplies as necessary and enjoy the satisfaction of Rocket Post becoming both a figurative and literal well-oiled machine.

As Rocket Post expands, Cranelock’s VIPs will take notice of its success, and want to do business. Let the robots hold down the fort, while handling deliveries via van, drone, and other methods to try and expand to become Cranelock’s biggest and best shipping store, but only at the pace you want to advance at.

“We aimed with Shipping Store Simulator 2037 to find that sweet spot between something that’s cozy and relaxing to play while providing the fun that comes from grinding and building up your business,” said Ivan Bogdanchuk, CEO and Founder, PLAYSTROM. “If you like to min-max everything possible, or just enjoy unwinding with meaningful progress in a low-stakes environment, our game has something for all fans of the genre.”

“We have enjoyed a very fruitful relationship with PLAYSTROM for many years, and we have each played a significant role in each other’s success,” said Yegor Vaikhanski, CEO & Co-Founder, SayGames. “Shipping Store Simulator 2037 is the kind of easy to pick up but hard to put down fun that we prioritize in our titles, just available first on PC.”

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 releases Q3 2026 on Steam for PC. The game will support English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language text.

RUNESCAPE DRAGONWILDS DELVES DEEPER INTO UNCHARTERED TERRITORIES AFTER SMASHING 1 MILLION SALES

New regions will expand Jagex’s fantasy survival game in the months ahead, as it continues to navigate a successful expedition through Steam Early Access.

Thursday, 29th January 2026, Cambridge, UK –  Jagex, creator of the iconic RuneScape franchise, has today unveiled further details on the next uncharted regions of Ashenfall set to emerge from the mists of RuneScape Dragonwilds over the next year. Featured as part of today’s community summit livestream, these new and mysterious areas – Dowdun Reach, Umbral Sands, and Scorned Wilderness – will expand the world and continue the Kuldra Saga, which began with the game’s launch into Early Access in April 2025.

Watch the community livestream here: https://www.twitch.tv/rsdragonwilds 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an epic, open-world survival and crafting game set on Gielinor’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, where solo players or teams of up to four, embark on quests to discover why untamed, transformative magic spills across the broken, fractured land. This latest deep dive into the upcoming early access content comes soon after Jagex recently announced sales of the game has broken the one million sales milestone.

Dowdun Reach: Madness of Zamorak

Scheduled to launch towards the end of March, Dowdun Reach is an area choking under the shadow of Zamorak, the God of Chaos. At its heart is a mountain fortress lost in the mists of long ago, now haunted by the twisted, tormented Black Knights.

Focused on the fortified stronghold’s labyrinthine halls, battlements, armouries, and inner chambers, players must complete layered quests, overcome its knights in deadly combat, and explore every hidden corner. Those who dare push into the inner keep and beyond will uncover materials needed to craft mithril-tier gear and weapons, but nothing comes easily. Deeper within, an even greater challenge awaits: Blue Dragons.

Dowdun Reach will also see a brand-new skill for players to max out, as Fishing makes its debut in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The overall level cap for each skill in the game will also be increasing to 99, with content being retroactively added to existing skills in future content updates.

Umbral Sands: Fire of Fuzan

Coming this Summer, the vast desert region of the Umbral Sands comes to the game, bringing with it the blistering heat from the sun bearing down upon baking ground. Featuring a dangerously dynamic environmental system, players exposed to its rays will be drained of health, making their use of shade and the time of day critical for survival. But of course, while the daytime heralds the unbearable heat and attacks from the elemental Kot’Haar, nighttime brings with it new dangers for players to face…

Ruled by Fuzan, the Red Dragon General, the Umbral Sands will introduce a selection of iconic RuneScape items to the game, including Adamant tier gear, Red Dragonhide, and Yew Bows and Staffs, together with Icthlarin, the Demigod of the Underworld.

Scorned Wilderness: Rage of Kuldra
Due to launch in September 2027, Scorned Wilderness will bring the Kuldra Saga to a stunning conclusion as players face off against Kuldra, the God Eater.

In addition to the major updates above, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will also receive monthly minor updates adding new quests and activities to the game as well as adding quality of life fixes.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is available now on Steam Early Access.
