Sydney, Australia – December 5^th, 2025 – Milestone released the very first deep-dive gameplay trailer for RIDE 6, offering fans an exclusive look at the next evolution of its acclaimed motorcycle racing franchise. Set to release on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, RIDE 6 will be available on February 12^th, 2026, with Early Access available from February 9^th, 2026.

Aiming to welcome all players, RIDE 6 will feature two different gameplay experiences. Depending on their skill level, players can decide to hit the road with either the Arcade or the Pro experience. In the Arcade experience, the complexities of bike handling have been simplified with fewer controls, making it the ideal choice for newcomers and for those eager to hit the gas and dive straight into the action. The Pro experience, on the other hand, is tailored for more experienced players who want to fine-tune every aspect of their performance. Here, it is possible to adjust multiple technical parameters of the bikes, enjoying the highest level of realism and simulation.

Thanks to the dual physics system, RIDE 6 offers a gaming experience tailored to every player’s skill level, making it the most accessible chapter yet.

Regardless of the chosen physics, RIDE 6 does not fall short of challenges. In fact, for the first time in the franchise’s history, the game will feature 10 real-world riders, who will wait for players in thrilling boss battles at the end of dedicated career chapters. These events mark the climax of the Ride Fest, the brand-new career mode built around an open event system that lets everyone find their own path to the top step of the podium.

Developed with Unreal Engine 5, RIDE 6 will push the series’ realism to new heights. Greater detail, advanced technologies, and stunning visuals come together in a revamped weather, daytime, and lighting system designed to enhance the gameplay experience and maximise immersion. Moreover, providing potentially endless replay ability, players will be able to tweak all these aspects to recreate their dream races and enjoy some of the scenarios that made the history of motorbikes.

With launch just months away and the largest roster of over 340 motorcycles*, RIDE 6 promises to be the strongest entry in the series.

Prepare to combat corrupted magical creatures and restore the lost tranquility of the ancient ruins in Seed Lab’s upcoming life sim.

Zhuhai City, China – Thursday, 4th December 2025 — Chinese developer, Seed Lab, has revealed all-new details about the combat and multiplayer coming to its anime-inspired life sim, Starsand Island, set to launch on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 in early 2026.

Revealed during today’s PC Gaming Show, in addition to the calm, tranquil farming and friendship building showcased to date, Starsand Island will feature third-person combat mechanics when players explore the island’s mystical, ruined area. As players encounter the many strange animals that live among the ruins, they’ll use a range of weapons, including slingshots and bows, to remove a magical corruption from the creatures, enabling them to be domesticated.

Powerful animal bosses also live among the ruins, presenting a further layer of challenge. Overcoming them will take skill to exploit the creatures’ weaknesses, upgrade weapons and ammo, and perfectly time counters, but with the promise of greater rewards – including unlocking advanced professions to master – it’s a risk worth taking!

Exploring the ruins and battling its strange inhabitants doesn’t have to be a solo experience; like the rest of Starsand Island life, it can also be enjoyed online with a friend, as part of the game’s multiplayer. Players will also be able to invite friends to help build their idyllic, pastoral life, as they plant and harvest crops, fish and master animal husbandry, and construct a perfect home. They can also share vehicles or ride the larger animals, and adventure across the length and breadth of the island.

Today’s reveal also highlighted a number of advanced features available to players on their journey to exploring the simple life: The addition of smart robots will help automate farming, ensuring the harvest is reaped while players are away from their homestead – perhaps on a futuristic hoverboard – while custom glasshouses built in DIY mode will harness the sun’s energy to further help with plant propagation. 

Starsand Island is launching on PC, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026, and is available to wishlist now.

A cozy Haddonfield neighborhood becomes the ultimate battleground of fear.

Lakewood, CO – Dec. 4, 2025 – Halloween, the asymmetric stealth horror game with single and multiplayer modes from developer and publisher IllFonic, co-published by Gun Interactive, and created in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, reveals its first in-game map, “Haddonfield Heights,” at PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted today. 

Nestled beneath the iconic Haddonfield water tower, the map brings players deep into the heart of the town, introducing a warm, tight-knit neighborhood that hides terror behind every picket fence and perfectly manicured lawn. 

Featuring a cluster of charming homes, the game’s first map radiates small-town comfort by day, but becomes a maze of dread at night. With plenty of front yards and winding side streets, players can explore every neighborhood nook and cranny, daring the brave enough to face what’s lurking in the shadows.

In this chilling sandbox, players can take the role of either a desperate Civilian fighting to protect the townsfolk or the infamous Michael Myers himself. As a Civilian, scavenge for supplies, guide residents to safety, and locate a phone to call the police before the time runs out. As Myers, prowl the shadows and use eerie abilities, like Shape Jump, to traverse through the neighborhood unseen and strike without warning. Every decision is a life-or-death gamble in a relentless game of cat-and-mouse.

“This neighborhood allowed us to reimage the tension of Haddonfield in a way that feels both intimate and terrifying,” said Jordan Mathewson, Design Director at IllFonic. “We wanted players to feel the comfort of the neighborhood they recognize from the film right before we turn it into panic. Every hedge, hallway, and backyard was built to heighten suspense and reward clever play, whether you’re hunting or being hunted.”

The game, Halloween, will terrify Haddonfield on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.
