We’re looking forward to giving our players a new and deeper way to engage with the WNBA. But there is so much more coming to MyTEAM this year – from All-Star Team-Up to new weekly cash prizes in King of the Court, there have never been more ways to compete with friends and win big.”

Attributes and Badges function identically for all WNBA and NBA Player Cards ensuring a balanced, consistent gameplay experience no matter who is on the court. To complete the expansion, a dedicated WNBA Domination tier, all WNBA uniforms, and the entirety of the league’s set of court floors (featuring the NBA three-point line) have been added to MyTEAM.

Reach a new gym and you’ll be rewarded with new buffs, challenges and permanent upgrades like air control and jump distance.

“Jacked Up is pure chaotic energy. Part platformer, part social media circus, all wrapped in shredded animal madness,” says Arnaud Baernhoft, CEO, Field of Vision. “I wanted players to feel the rush of chasing gains while juggling the chaos of an online audience. If you can bounce, you can make it… but can you look good doing it?”

Jacked Up – Key Features

• No Jump Button, just bounce!
• Customise – Add hats and phone cases to create that ultimate social vibe
• Socialise – From selfies to followers, engaging with your audience is crucial. Take photos and videos with your virtual phone and save them to Quest to share! 
• Energise – Gyms provide all the nourishment to improve bounce height, air control, bounce streaks and more!
• Surprise! – Challenges, Bro Tasks and more hidden features await!

Jacked Up is available on Meta Quest Early Access from 14th August 2025. Stay tuned for further updates.    

About Jacked Up:

You’re a jacked rabbit on a mission to reach the top — and you’re doing it live.

Play With Friends and Take Them to the Cleaners.

Bristol, UK – August 14, 2025 – Yogscast Games and Terahard Studios look to clean up with the global launch of Monster Mop Up, exclusively available from today on Steam. Starting with a mop, gloves, and a high-tech trap, players will be swept up by the commotion caused by the cute yet confused Ragamuffins who have recently crossed over to the human world. Monster Mop up is a cosy cleaning sandbox that combines power washing satisfaction with ghostbusting action, offering both single-player and cooperative multiplayer options. Cleaning ‘agents’ can take advantage of a two-week 35% discount and a further 10% off when purchased as a bundle with PlateUp!

As newly recruited Custodians for the Ministry of Monster Concealment, players are hired as cleaners to enter a variety of properties, save the Ragamuffins and leave no trace of their existence. With no time limit, multiple strategies can be devised as they tackle a variety of missions ranging from small family homes to upscale mansions and hotels. Unfortunately, when disturbed, the intergalactic furballs trigger explosive poop chaos, challenging even the most seasoned cleaning crew to contain the situation as quickly as possible. Whether playing solo or as a party of up to six, players must coordinate a perfect bucket-and-mop strategy while deploying high-tech traps to contain these loveable troublemakers.

“Monster Mop Up combines the best of several genres and perfectly balances calm and chaos,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director at Yogscast Games. “Terahard Studios has created a highly polished simulation that will wipe the floor with anything that stands in its way.”

Through successful sanitisation, players earn money, which can be used to purchase items to make the mayhem less mundane. From super-suction vacuum cleaners to mop extensions that reach further to calming effects that put the Ragamuffins to sleep, each power-up and special item gives players a cleaning boost. There are also secret items dotted throughout the missions that, when discovered, make light work of the toughest stains. Players can also express themselves and make a dream home for their Ragamuffins with 150+ items available to purchase from the Bizarre of Human Stuff. Whether scrubbing an apartment or saving Ragamuffins, Monster Mop Up delivers a unique experience that will sweep players off their feet.

On sale for $6.66 for the first 6 days 6 hours and 6 minutes

Kraków, Poland – August 14th –  The crew at PARASIGHT, creators of the critically acclaimed BLACKTAIL, have revealed that their highly anticipated pirate-themed first-person action-adventure DAVY x JONES, will launch into Steam Early Access on August 28th.

That’s not all – the game’s price will be mercilessly slashed to a mere $6.66 for its first 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes on sale. (In layman’s terms, this means the sale ends on September 4th). After that, the price rises to $9.99/£8.50/€9.75.

To mark the occasion, PARASIGHT has released a brand-new trailer teasing the fierce battles, new infamous characters, twisted humor, and darkly enchanting pirate underworld that await in DAVY x JONES.

In DAVY x JONES, players will step into the boots of the legendary pirate himself – betrayed, robbed, and ultimately – beheaded. Jones awakens in The Locker, a pirate hell shattered into islands floating on an endless sea of clouds. But death is merely the beginning of his epic tale of revenge. Control the captain’s headless body — Jones — and forge an unlikely alliance with your stubborn skull — Davy — as you reclaim your legendary Artifacts and face your eternal nemesis: Blackbeard.

Fight like a true pirate legend, wielding sword, gun, and even your own sharp-tongued skull — whose tentacle makes for one hell of a grappling hook. Soar between cloud-swept islands aboard Abby, your half-ship, half-whale vessel, and face towering behemoths in desperate battles across the depths of The Locker. Rally your crew and avenge your honor by battling through hordes of cursed souls, fiends, and legendary pirates on your quest to escape the underworld!

This Early Access release will contain DAVY x JONES’ core gameplay and combat systems, Several of The Locker’s cursed islands, Legendary weapons, a host of underworld fiends, and variety of skills, cinematic executions and dynamic traversal. More content will be added throughout its voyage on Early Access, with the price increasing accordingly until the game’s full 1.0 launch on PC and consoles in late 2026.

“DAVY x JONES is already a blast to play, but we want players to join us well before launch,” said Bartosz Kaproń, CEO and Creative Director of PARASIGHT. “We’re around twenty people making something we love, and getting players on board now means we can make sure every part of it lands exactly how it should – and maybe surprise you along the way.”

Key features of DAVY x JONES:

• A Fresh Take on the Legend: Play as the legendary Davy Jones – his detached head guides, while the player commands his formidable body in an unforgettable alliance
• Pirates’ Open (Under)World: Journey through The Locker, a surreal pirate hell shattered into nine islands floating on an infinite sea of clouds. Face twisted fiends, cursed souls and legendary behemoths like the Kraken — guardians of the underworld’s darkest secrets.
• Intense First-Person Combat: Push through everything that stands in your way. Master fast-paced first-person combat with sword, gun and your own talking skull — and carve your path back into legend.
• FUSIONS — Risk, Reward, and Mayhem: Every fallen enemy drops volatile underworld essence. When essences converge, they merge into a treasure chest containing powerful loot — but each chest also unleashes an unpredictable fiend. Will you take the risk… or flee before the storm?
• Your Living vessel ABBY – Half Ship / Half Whale: Meet Abby: a young behemoth, hybrid of ship and whale who joins your epic journey. She’s your base, your artillery, and your ally. Recruit legendary Officers to crew her and unleash devastating abilities like CANNONS in combat.
• FATHOM THE DEVIL:  Grow into power and unlock your true nature — because the only way out of Davy Jones’ Locker… is to BECOME THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

“We wanted players to experience the twisted pirate (under)world and unique protagonist – DAVY x JONES,” said Bartosz Kaproń, CEO and Creative Director of PARASIGHT. “Our trailers showcase its hyperkinetic action—which you’ll briefly experience here—but this demo emphasizes tone, character depth, and the revenge-fueled journey ahead. It immerses you just enough to make settling the score with Blackbeard irresistible!”

DAVY x JONES is launching in Steam Early Access on 28th August
