Break Free Interactive’s gesture-driven VR sports experience is now available on Meta Quest, with players able to ride, trick, customise and compete across five locations.

October 2, 2026. Grab your ride and get ready to send it! Independent developer Break Free Interactive today celebrates the launch of VMX on Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3, bringing its physical, gesture-driven take on BMX, mountain bike and scooter riding to standalone VR. VMX is available now via the Meta Store for $14.99 / £11.99 / €13.99. 

VMX opens up its riding experience to Quest players, putting the controls directly into their hands. With custom physics, physical gesture-based tricks, multiplayer riding and a choice of BMX, MTB and scooters, VMX is built around the feeling of actually riding rather than simply pressing buttons to perform tricks.

Watch the brand-new VMX launch gameplay trailer below.

At the heart of VMX is a custom VR control and physics system designed to make every movement part of the ride. Players control their bike through physical gestures, building momentum, finding their line, launching from ramps and performing tricks using their own movements.

Whether chasing a high score, learning a new trick or simply finding somewhere to ride with friends, VMX gives players the freedom to approach each session their own way.

FIVE PLACES. PLENTY OF WAYS TO RIDE.

VMX launches with five distinct locations, each offering its own setting for riding and tricking.

From the Under the Bridge Skatepark and Utah Desert Dirt Track to the Miami City Map, Docks/Harbour Map and a huge stadium featuring a megaramp and animated crowd, players can switch between different environments depending on how they want to ride.

Challenge yourself, practice in Free Ride or simply explore the parks with friends in multiplayer.

PUT YOUR OWN STYLE ON THE RIDE

The Workshop gives players plenty of ways to make VMX their own.

Grab a virtual spray can and customise your bike with colours, gradients and patterns, creating a setup that looks as individual as the way you ride. Players can also customise their character with a growing range of riding gear and clothing, including helmets, goggles, full-face helmets, snapbacks and beanies.

Earn points through gameplay and spend them on new gear as you build your rider’s look.

RIDE TOGETHER

VMX is built to be enjoyed with friends, whether that’s competing for the best score, practising tricks together or simply hanging out in a skatepark.

Multiplayer lets players explore the maps together, session their favourite spots and take on challenges, giving every ride the potential to become something different.

RIDE YOUR WAY

VR riding can be an intense experience, so VMX offers two different approaches to movement.

Comfort Mode is the default option, designed to provide a smoother experience and reduce motion discomfort while players learn the controls, explore the maps and develop their riding skills.

For experienced VR players looking for a more intense experience, Immersive Mode increases the sense of physical movement to bring players even closer to the ride.

RIDE BMX. RIDE MTB. RIDE SCOOTERS.

With three different types of ride, five locations, multiplayer and a physical control system built around gesture-based tricks, VMX gives players plenty of ways to hit the parks.

Whether you’re a BMX rider looking to learn new lines, an MTB fan looking for somewhere to send it, or a scooter rider wanting to master a new trick, VMX puts the ride in your hands.

KEY FEATURES

• Physical VR Riding – Custom physics and gesture-based controls put every movement in your hands.
• Three Ways to Ride – Take on the parks with BMX bikes, mountain bikes or scooters.
• Five Locations – Ride skateparks, dirt tracks, city streets, docks and a stadium megaramp.
• Gesture-Based Tricks – Perform tricks through physical movements rather than traditional button combinations.
• Ride With Friends – Explore, practise and compete together in multiplayer.
• The Workshop – Spray-paint your bike with colours, gradients and custom patterns.
• Customise Your Rider – Unlock helmets, goggles, hats, beanies and other riding gear.
• Comfort or Immersive – Choose the VR experience that suits the way you want to ride.

VMX is available now on Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 via the Meta Store for $14.99 / £11.99 / €13.99. 

About Break Free Interactive

Break Free Interactive is an independent two-person studio focused on creating immersive VR experiences built around physics, gestures and player movement. VMX is its debut title, developed from the ground up to make virtual riding feel physical, expressive and fun.

Cats ruled the internet for decades. Now one of them wants it back.

October 2, 2026: Prepare to team up with your friends and battle across increasingly bizarre worlds with a team of capybaras in Capyverse Odyssey, developed and published by Metazooie Studios. Capyverse Odyssey is a co-op action roguelite title for 1- 4 players, where wholesome hero Capy and their crew must stop the rampage of a spurned cat out to avenge her lost internet virality, and you can check it out right now via a free Steam demo.

The demo lets players take control of Capy the Capybara or one of their adorable-yet-deadly crewmates including Moody, a baby hippo built like a tank and who fights like one too, and Jim, a British Bulldog who is fast, aggressive, and only possibly house-trained. Each hero brings their own abilities and playstyle, giving squads more ways to build out a team. No matter who the players choose, chaos will occur. 

Capyverse Odyssey – Official Gameplay Trailer: 

For a long time, cats were the internet’s favorite animals. For Ophelia, a cat who rules a kingdom powered by attention and adoration, this arrangement was working pretty well. Then capybaras went viral.

Now Ophelia is losing her grip on the spotlight, and she’s willing to twist worlds into increasingly bizarre versions of themselves just to stay relevant. The only ones who can stop her are Capy and a crew of wholesome animal heroes fighting through surreal worlds, bizarre enemies, and ever-escalating chaos.

Good thing everyone has jetpacks. Standing still isn’t really something that happens a lot in Capyverse Odyssey. You and your crew will be taking to the skies and fighting off haunted slot machines, killer clowns, and more from whichever angle works best. Stop moving for too long and an aggressive suitcase might make you regret it.

Each run is a series of maps with different objectives – things like zone defence, elimination arenas, mini-boss fights and more – and the chaos builds with every new world you encounter. Every map cleared adds a new layer – power-ups stack, wearables boost your stats and by the time you reach the end of a run, your build that started simple has become complete chaos.

With each new world you visit, you’ll see something new and surreal. From an oversized casino with hostile playing cards and ATMs that can really do some damage, to a nightmare carnival with a giant clown that launches bumper cars, things start strange and only get bizarre.

Features:

• Jetpack capybara action. Always airborne, always moving, and always about three seconds from something exploding.
• Play solo or with friends. Full 1-4 player online co-op. Coordinate your character’s abilities or embrace the chaos, it’s your choice.
• Build-stacking progression. Earn power-ups and wearables after every map. Stack upgrades across the run until it feels like it might be broken, then stack a little more.
• Objective-based maps. Something new every time, from zone defence to mini-boss fights.
• Short, replayable runs. Drop in, stack your build, create some chaos. Easy to pick up, hard to put down after just one run.
• Borderline unhinged enemies and worlds. Corrupted casinos, deadly wastelands, killer clowns, exploding suitcases and much more.

Capyverse Odyssey is launching on PC later this year via Steam, and a free demo is available to play right now.

Shoreline Games’ Psychological Horror “Metroidbrainia” Prepares to Pull into Steam

Prague, Czechia – October 2nd, 2026 – There are no more stations, no more destinations, and on October 16th, it will finally be time to board.

Publisher Shoreline Games and developer David Konecny have announced that Dreadline Express, the first-person psychological horror “metroidbrainia” set aboard the last human train slicing through a scorched Earth, will launch for PC via Steam on October 16th, 2026.

The news was revealed during Insider Gaming’s 28 Games Later horror showcase last night, with the game’s brand new trailer offering an unnerving glimpse aboard a train carrying what remains of humanity through the scars of a world that is no longer ours, marred by Lovecraftian themes and undertones.

Watch the brand-new release date trailer here:

Part mystery, part exploration-driven horror, and intentionally full of riddles rather than telling players where they should go next, Dreadline Express puts you aboard the last remnant of a now collapsed civilisation – a steam train populated by a handful of colourful and frankly ominous survivors.

Inside every carriage hides another piece of the puzzle. Each passenger has their own story, their own motives and, perhaps, something they would rather keep hidden, buried deep down in their psyche. Some doors upon this train, it appears, may be better left closed.

“Dreadline Express is about giving players the freedom to be curious,” offers David Konecny, developer of Dreadline Express. “I wanted to make a horror game where making it through comes from paying attention, making connections, and understanding the people and places around you, rather than simply following a trail of objectives. It’s strange, unsettling, and sometimes deliberately obtuse, and I’m incredibly excited that people will finally be able to board the train on October 16th.”

At the centre of it all is Dreadline Express’ card-based narrative system. Discoveries, encounters and achievements become cards stored within an evolving album, allowing players to uncover connections, formulate new plans and open paths that previously appeared impossible. The more you understand about the train, its passengers and the world outside, the more options you have for deciding what happens next.

“Dreadline Express is exactly the kind of game we love working with at Shoreline,” says Keith Kawamura, CEO of Shoreline Games. “It has a completely distinct identity, a brilliant central idea, and the confidence to trust players to work things out for themselves. David has created something that feels genuinely unlike anything else we’ve ever played, and we’re incredibly proud to be helping bring his wonderfully weird, unsettling train journey to players this October.”

Dreadline Express features: –

• Unravel the mysteries of the last human train – Explore the final moving relic of a devastated civilisation, where every carriage hides new secrets, and every passenger has their own story to tell.
• Choose your own way forward – Explore freely, decide who becomes an ally or enemy, and overcome obstacles through force, tactics, or careful deduction. There is never only one solution.
• Piece together a fragmented story – Pay attention, gather clues, and connect the pieces of a larger narrative puzzle before everything that remains is lost forever.
• Master a unique card-based narrative system – Turn discoveries and achievements into cards, then use your growing collection to uncover connections, plan your next move, and open new possibilities.
• Complete the album, understand the truth – Every new card brings you closer to understanding the melancholy story behind the last human train and the fate of those aboard it.
• Remember: you are being watched – Your choices, relationships, and discoveries all shape how your journey through the train unfolds.

Dreadline Express launches on Steam on October 16th, 2026. Players can board early through the Dreadline Express Demo, available for a very limited period right now, and wishlist the full game ahead of launch.

London – October 2nd, 2026 – Gamers’ charity SpecialEffect are inviting gamers to buy and play selected mobile games from some of the biggest names from the industry on Friday 2 October including Hay Day, Golf Clash, Subway Surfers and Dream League Soccer.

Gamers can raise vital funds for the charity by purchasing qualifying titles and DLC from One Special Day industry partners including Sybo, Supercell and Rovio, who will donate a percentage of the resulting UK revenue to the charity’s flagship fundraising campaign.

A full list of games in the mobile promotion can be found here:

The support of the partners and their communities will help the thousands of physically disabled people every year who ask for the charity’s assistance. SpecialEffect’s teams of therapists and technical specialists provide assessments and customised technology loans to help bring joy into the lives of people with disabilities. In turn, the charity pass on what they learn to help hardware and software developers make their products and games easier to use for as many people as possible all over the world.

Deborah Mensah-Bonsu, Social Impact and Sustainability, Supercell, said, “We’ve been proud to partner with SpecialEffect across our games for nearly a decade, and that relationship has grown far beyond One  Special Day. From cycling in Helsinki and joining One Special Walk in London, to learning from their incredible work as we think more deeply about inclusive design. We’re continually inspired by their tenacity,
generosity and tremendous heart, and by how they show the games industry can genuinely change lives for the better.” 

Tom Donegan, SpecialEffect COO, added, “We’re truly grateful to our partners for their generous involvement in One Special Day 2026. As demand for our projects and services continues to rise, this valuable contribution will play a vital role in  helping us share the joy of gaming with thousands of people with physical disabilities around the world.”

The charity would like to thank all the One Special Day mobile partners this year: Supercell, Rovio, SYBO, Playdemic, Fingersoft, Supersolid, Hyper Luminal Games, New Star Games, Miniclip, Green Man Gaming and MAG Interactive.

This year’s One Special Day has already featured an extensive Steam Sale, a Green Man Gaming bundle beginning in early October and the second One Special Walk in London. A range of other supporting activities and studio events have also taken place, with the charity hoping to raise in excess of £500K through this eleventh edition of their flagship campaign.

The charity recently launched Open Drive, their first iOS mobile game, specifically designed for players with a wide range of physical disabilities.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition is now available on PS5, expanding Atsu’s journey with the new Echoes of Sekigahara narrative expansion and Most Wanted single-player combat survival mode, alongside additional content and updates for Ghost of Yōtei.*

In Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara, players venture into Ashoro Foothills, a previously unseen area of Ezo now controlled by the Vipers, an enemy faction group loyal to the Snake. Told across the present day and flashbacks to the Battle of Sekigahara, the new narrative expansion explores Atsu’s history with Nagato, a key figure from her past who fought alongside her on the mainland.

Along the way, players will encounter new enemy types, wield new heavy weapons, and discover new Mythic Tales, abilities, armor sets, cosmetics, and more.

In Ghost of Yōtei’s new Most Wanted mode, players choose from four playable characters and take on increasingly difficult bounties inspired by the Yōtei Six. Each run challenges players to battle waves of enemies and minibosses, selecting perks and upgrades along the way to build their character before facing the bounty’s final boss.

The playable roster includes Atsu with dual katana, Oyuki with the kusarigama, Nagato with the yari, and Jin Sakai, returning from Ghost of Tsushima with his katana and all four of his signature combat stances. Each character features unique weapons, abilities, Ultimates, and Kill Streaks, while perks spanning weapon mastery, gear loadouts, summons, parries, survivability, and more allow players to experiment with different builds across runs.

Players can also earn Mon to unlock new techniques, weapon upgrades, charms, and characters between runs, while cosmetics earned in Most Wanted carry over to the main game and Echoes of Sekigahara.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition is available now for $124.95 AUD and includes the main Ghost of Yōtei game, Ghost of Yōtei Legends online co-op mode, Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted, all in-game content previously included in the Digital Deluxe Edition, and the Charm of Hokkyokusei.**

Existing Ghost of Yōtei owners can access Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted by purchasing the Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Upgrade for $22.95 AUD.*

The Complete Edition also includes new Photo Mode stamps, additional New Game+ cosmetics, and new Trophies for Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted.

Additionally, all Ghost of Yōtei owners can download a free update featuring Beauty of Yōtei mode, which allows players to browse the environments of Ezo and explore them in Photo Mode. The update also includes new Watanabe Mode tracks that can be experienced throughout the game, the ability to retain one armor set’s appearance while using another set’s stats, and a new high contrast accessibility option.*

Also announced today, Ghost of Yōtei and Marvel’s Wolverine are the first titles to use Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a new technology that improves image detail and stability on PS5. QSSR is available as an additional graphics option for both titles beginning today.
