Watch the Release Date Trailer:
Already one of Steam’s most anticipated cozy titles, Cozy Game Restoration has amassed more than 225,000 wishlists, earning a place among Steam’s most wishlisted upcoming games.
Cozy Game Restoration is a soothing restoration simulator about bringing forgotten video game cartridges back to life. Players will carefully unwrap mystery parcels, peel away tape and old stickers, clean dust and grime, remove ink and adhesive residue, and transform battered retro games into cherished collectibles. There are no timers and no fail states, just the quiet satisfaction of restoring something that matters.
Each cartridge is procedurally dirtied, with randomized conditions, visuals, and imperfections that make every restoration feel different. Some cartridges may have cracked shells or clean labels, while others are scuffed, drawn on, discolored, or covered in stubborn residue. As players restore their finds, they’ll work toward completing a retro game collection featuring 108 distinct titles inspired by classics from the 1980s to early 2000s.
Cozy Game Restoration will also celebrate the wider Australia, New Zealand, and global indie scene through collectible cartridges inspired by real games from around the world. Among them, Deep Field Games has given permission for Abiotic Factor to appear as a collectible cartridge that players can discover and restore. Additional indie game collaborations will be revealed closer to launch.
“Cozy Game Restoration is a love letter to the games that were with us growing up and the moments we experienced around them with friends and family,” said Adam Stormhardt, Founder. “It’s wonderful to know so many people resonate with restoring and collecting battered old retro games, and I’m excited to finally be able to point to a date on the calendar when it’ll be ready. Being able to feature games from fellow Australian and New Zealand developers as collectible cartridges makes the project even more special.”
Beyond individual restorations, players will complete collection-based quests, hunt for rare variants, and decorate their collection room with rewards earned through play. Whether peeling a stubborn sticker, opening a mystery parcel, or finding a rare gem for the shelf, Cozy Game Restoration is built around the tactile, nostalgic joy of caring for games from another era.

Adds all new content including optional boss challenges, “Easy mode” option, and new items!
Detroit, United States – June 9th, 2026 – Five Houses LLC are proud to announce that their acclaimed music-based RPG Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles on June 30th. Get ready to kick down doors and fight with music as a trio of goofball musicians!
Originally launched on PC in 2023, where it currently has 98% positive reviews on Steam, Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands puts players in the combat boots of Faye, Ian and Briff, a 3-piece band of dysfunctional friends who unknowingly stumble into a cursed battle of the bands contest where all entrants can attack with music and must fight to the death.
Utilizing a state-of-the-art “Measure Effects” combat system that merges real-time decision making with turn-based combat, players must make active choices between turns that influence the flow of combat. Swap out your frontman to speed up your turn, but also be careful not to put the same band member in the line of fire more than they can handle. This is a team after all, and staying in the limelight too often will come with its fair share of consequences.
Kick down every single door you come across. If you’re gonna rudely enter every RPG house despite lack of invite, might as well enter in style. Customise the band with 9 musically-themed classes to choose from, each with their own attacks, perks and COOL OUTFIT. Inspire your bandmates as a BUSKER or recklessly deal huge damage at the cost of damaging yourself as a HEADBANGER.
This console conversion adds all new content not included in the original PC release, including new items, an “Easy mode” option at save points, as well as new harder variants of bosses for those striving for a tougher challenge. Those playing on PC will receive the same content as a free update on June 30th. “We’re very proud of what we created with Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands when we released it on Steam back in 2023. While the game remained largely unknown, the reception over the years has been extremely positive amongst those who’ve played it, with some even saying it’s their all-time favourite RPG. This made bringing the game to consoles a no-brainer,” said Dan Martin, Solo Artist of Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands.“As we all grew up with console games, we’re very excited to bring Deathbulge to everyone on Switch, Playstation and Xbox. And if the Steam reviews have taught us anything, it’s that console players will LOVE IT.”
Features:
Roughly 15-20 hours of game time.
Late game dating segment.
Sew patches of band logos onto your BATTLE JACKET for extra perks in battle.
No Random Encounters! Monsters will be shown on the field for your avoiding leisure, and 3 different FIELD ABILITIES with which to avoid them.
Unique item system. Say good bye to individually stocking up on consumable items! Once you get a piece of MERCH, you keep it forever, and it simply costs STOCK to use, a refillable global resource for all your merch.
Original soundtrack that’ll make you say things like SIIICK and OH RIGHT ON.
Incredibly rich world boasting a wide variety of colourful characters whose dialogue changes as you progress through the game. Every single NPC is unique, armed with their own dialogue portraits to express themselves TO THE MAX.
Even the ITEMS have personality. Say bye bye to the generic “health potion”. Local NPC Barry Friendly is taking care of the soothing beverages around here. Sink into a warm cup of BARRY FRIENDLY’S TEA whenever your health is low. Maybe you’ll even have the pleasure of meeting Barry at some point.
Based on the popular webcomic Deathbulge, by moatee creator Dan Martin.

New Character “Ark Black,” Hero-Themed Story Event, and Moran Costume Coming June 11
PALO ALTO, CA – June 9, 2026 – Level Infinite today revealed the upcoming ‘Ark Ranger’ update for the award-winning sci-fi RPG shooter GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, will be arriving on June 11 for PC and mobile devices. Inspired by classic tokusatsu-style heroes, the update introduces a brand-new character, a dramatic original storyline, and an all-new costume for Moran who leads the underworld Peony association.
The new story event, Ark Ranger, follows three NIKKE actresses – Black, Red, and Blue – who portray heroes in the Ark’s most popular tokusatsu show. While the cameras capture flashy battles and transformation sequences, Black’s journey quickly becomes personal. Players will be immersed in her event story as she confronts trauma, loss, and the harsh reality behind heroism and if on-screen heroes are truly heroic.
The update also features a new costume for Moran, the intimidating leader of the Peony criminal game. Despite her sometimes ferocious persona to intimidate her enemies, behind the scenes Moran is actually a vulnerable “big softie” who quietly agonizes over her social interactions. Deeply dedicated to her followers, she treats her subordinates like family and earns their undying loyalty, as they all know that despite her reputation, their boss is fundamentally a kind woman.

Explore the Legendary Artist’s Most Influential Works and Relationships, Rendered in a Painterly World That Explores the Question of Why Van Gogh’s Art Endures Across the Centuries
LOS ANGELES – June 6, 2026 — thatgamecompany, the acclaimed studio behind the legendary video games Journey, Flower and Sky: Children of the Light, today revealed Dear Van Gogh, a new experience set in the world of Sky: Children of the Light. Launching on July 17, 2026, Dear Van Gogh brings players into the life of Vincent van Gogh through an interactive journey shaped by his paintings, his struggles, and the people closest to him.
“Some stories are so universal that they must be experienced, not just observed, and Van Gogh’s is one of them,” said Jenova Chen, CEO and Creative Director for thatgamecompany. “Most people remember Van Gogh as the tortured artist who suffered alone. That loneliness was a big part of who he was, so honoring his story meant integrating that into this experience. But we also wanted to shine light on the devoted family whose quiet sacrifice and unwavering support helped carry him forward without recognition. This is the side of the story most people don’t know. What moves us most about Van Gogh’s legacy is that behind his extraordinary art was extraordinary human devotion and resilience, but also the question that his works keep asking across the centuries: what makes his art endure?
“At thatgamecompany, we have always believed that games can carry the same emotional truth as other classic artistic media. This interactive Van Gogh experience is our tribute to the love and devotion behind Vincent van Gogh and his family.”

About Dear Van Gogh
Step into a living canvas in Dear Van Gogh, where art, emotion and human connection intertwine. Embark on a journey to bring Van Gogh’s masterpieces into the light, traveling inside his paintings to witness his earliest uncertainties, his Paris awakening, and the fragile beauty of his final years.
At the heart of this experience are the letters between Van Gogh and his brother Theo, a decades-long exchange of doubt, wonder and unfailing devotion that make Van Gogh’s art possible in the first place. Through them, players discover the full depth of that bond: Vincent’s lifelong struggles, Theo’s steadfast belief, and a correspondence that became one of history’s most remarkable artistic records.
Guided by Theo’s wife, Johanna, players become quiet witnesses to a life shaped as much by that invisible support as by Van Gogh’s own restless vision. Through her, players learn how the birth of her son inspired Vincent into a new era of painting, along with her tireless work to promote Van Gogh’s paintings after his tragic death at age 37.
Blending exploration and emotional storytelling, Dear Van Gogh invites players to feel the weight and warmth of that family bond, to discover that art, at its most basic, rarely endures alone. Players can explore 3D recreations of some of Van Gogh’s most iconic works of art in-game, each brought to life in his distinctive bold, swirling brushstroke style, evocative of the Post-Impressionism style he helped popularize.
Dear Van Gogh will be available on July 17, 2026 through the Sky: Children of the Lightgame app on iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.
Sky: Children of the Light released as a free-to-play iOS game on July 18, 2019, receiving critical and commercial acclaim. It earned Apple’s iPhone Game of the Year award in 2019, ‘Best Mobile Game’ and ‘Audience Award’ at the 2020 Game Developers Choice Awards, and ‘Mobile Game of the Year’ at the 2020 SXSW Gaming Awards.

Today, Owlcat Gamescelebrates its 10th birthday. Starting out as a small group of adventurers wanting to develop their own CRPGs, Owlcat now several successful titles under its belt, and even became a third-party publisher.
The anniversary trailer takes fans on a journey through ten years of victories, defeats, and memories Watch the Anniversary trailer here:
Ten years ago, a party of adventurers sat down at the table, rolled their dice, and decided to make CRPGs. Through lucky rolls, critical failures, tentacles, and many table-flipping moments, the studio developed its first CRPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker before going on to build the monumental Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. This marked a huge milestone for the studio, with its beloved characters, myriad of role-playing options, and several years of content updates.
After the success of WotR, Owclat went into the darkness of the 41st Millennium and created Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, considered to be one of the best games in the 4K universe. Now, with Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, fans of the studio have two additional RPGs to look forward to. Who knows what else the future might bring…
