Break Free Interactive’s immersive VR sports experience launches on Meta Quest 2, Quest 3 and PCVR headsets, putting physical riding, tricks and multiplayer competition in players’ hands

September 17, 2026. Independent developer Break Free Interactive announces that VMX will launch for VR on October 2, 2026, bringing BMX, mountain bike and scooter action to Meta Quest 2, Quest 3 and PCVR headsets.

Riding has never been more Real.

VMX puts the ride directly in players’ hands with advanced VR controls and a custom physics system designed to deliver precise, true-to-life handling. Tricks are performed through physical gestures, letting players find their line, build momentum, launch into the air and throw down tricks using their own movements.

Ride through five distinct maps, take on challenges, or simply find a spot and session it with friends. From an underground skatepark and desert dirt track to the streets of Miami, a docks warehouse skatepark, and a huge stadium featuring a megaramp and animated crowds, VMX gives players a variety of places to ride across BMX, mountain bikes and scooters. 

PUT THE RIDE IN YOUR HANDS

VMX‘s custom physics system and gesture-based VR controls are at the heart of the experience. Rather than relying on traditional button combinations, players physically perform their tricks, creating a more immediate connection between rider and bike.

Whether practicing a new trick, searching for the perfect line or trying to land a high-scoring run, every movement becomes part of the ride.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN IN THE WORKSHOP

The Workshop is where players can customise both their ride and their rider. 

Create a bike that reflects your style with VMX’s detailed spray-painting system, grabbing a spray can to apply colours, blend shades, create smooth gradients and experiment with custom patterns.

Players can also customise their character with a growing selection of clothing and riding gear, including helmets, goggles, full-face helmets, snapbacks and beanies. Earn points through gameplay and spend them in the in-game store to unlock new items.

RIDE TOGETHER

VMX is built for riding with friends. Multiplayer lets players explore maps together, session skateparks, practice tricks, take on challenges and compete for the best scores.

Whether it’s a relaxed freeride session with friends or a head-to-head challenge, multiplayer gives players another way to experience VMX and find their flow together.

FIND YOUR FLOW

VR riding can be intense, so VMX includes Comfort Mode, the default setting designed to reduce motion discomfort and provide a smoother riding experience. It lets players spend more time exploring, practicing tricks and learning the parks at their own pace.

For experienced VR players looking for the full intensity of the sport, Immersive Mode takes the realism even further, delivering a more intense and physical riding experience designed to make players feel closer to the action. While Comfort Mode is recommended for most players, Immersive Mode is intended for experienced VR users who are comfortable with more intense movement.

RIDE YOUR WAY

With BMX bikes, mountain bikes and scooters, VMX gives players multiple ways to hit the parks and dirt tracks.

Take on challenges, master gesture-based tricks, customise your ride, build your look and ride alongside friends as VMX brings a new level of physicality to VR sports.

KEY FEATURES

• Riding Has Never Been More Real – Advanced VR controls and custom physics deliver precise, true-to-life handling.
• Ride BMX, MTB or Scooters – Choose your ride and hit five distinct maps across skateparks, dirt tracks, city streets and more. 
• Gesture-Based Tricks – Perform tricks through physical movements rather than traditional button combinations.
• Five Maps to Explore – Ride the underpass bridge skatepark, desert valley dirt track, Miami city skatepark, docks warehouse skatepark and the stadium megaramp. 
• The Workshop – Customise your bike and character with detailed paint options and a growing selection of riding gear. 
• Ride Together – Explore maps, session parks and compete with friends in multiplayer.
• Make It Yours – Spray-paint your ride with colour blending, gradients and custom patterns, then customise your rider with a growing range of gear.
• Find Your Flow – Choose Comfort Mode for a smoother VR experience, or Immersive Mode for a more intense, realistic ride recommended for experienced VR players. 

VMX launches October 2, 2026 for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and PCVR headsets. Wishlist the game now on the Meta Store.

An analog optical gaming keypad with 31 programmable controls, adjustable actuation, and a fully adjustable ergonomic wrist rest, built for total command over MMOs, FPS, and beyond.

IRVINE, CALIF. – SEPTEMBER 17, 2026 – Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Tartarus V2 Pro, the next evolution of its Tartarus gaming keypad line. Built to carry forward the accuracy and speed players expect from the Tartarus name, the Tartarus V2 Pro brings Razer’s flagship switch technology and true 8000 Hz HyperPolling into a dedicated keypad for the first time, alongside a wrist rest designed to move with the player rather than around them.

Equipped with 31 programmable controls, a full-sized anti-drift thumbstick, and a fully-adjustable ergonomic wrist rest, the Tartarus V2 Pro is designed to give competitive MMO and FPS players alike near-infinite customisation without sacrificing comfort over long sessions.

“Games have evolved dramatically, and players now expect more control, precision, and flexibility from the hardware they use,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “Our Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 brings greater precision and a wider actuation range that lets players dial in exactly how they want each key to respond, while the TMR thumbstick delivers smooth analog movement with zero stick drift. The Tartarus V2 Pro is unapologetically maximalist: more inputs, finer controls, and more ways to make it your own.”

Precision at Your Fingertips
At the core of the Tartarus V2 Pro is the Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2, Razer’s flagship switch technology, now built into the Tartarus V2 Pro. It offers a fully adjustable 0.1–4.0mm actuation range and Rapid Trigger sensitivity down to 0.1mm for ultra-fast repeated inputs. Each switch is individually lubricated and seated in a dense foam layer, rated for a 100-million keystroke lifespan and tuned for a clean, satisfying acoustic that keeps players in their flow state.

Command Every Angle
Command over the Tartarus V2 Pro starts with 31 programmable controls, giving players enough mappable inputs to cover an entire ability bar, macro set, or genre-specific loadout from a single keypad. Anchoring them is a full-sized, anti-drift TMR thumbstick drawn from Razer’s award-winning controllers, letting players smoothly navigate radial menus or land precise in-game inputs, backed by three dedicated buttons to fit any playstyle.

No two hands rest on a keypad the same way, so the Tartarus V2 Pro’s wrist rest is built to match the player, not the other way around. It slides out and rotates left and right, letting each player find their own natural angle rather than settling for a single fixed position. The result is a support surface that adapts to the hand resting on it, keeping wrists aligned and fatigue-free through long sessions instead of asking players to adjust their grip to fit the hardware.

Built to Keep Up
The Tartarus V2 Pro carries up to 8000 Hz HyperPolling, a polling rate eight times faster than the industry standard, backed by Razer’s Advanced Input Control suite, including Razer™ Snap Tap, Razer™ Snap Flex and Dynamic Keystroke, for faster, more precise execution under pressure. Players can configure up to 24 keymaps across 3 onboard profiles through Razer Synapse for different games and genres, and make on-the-fly actuation or Rapid Trigger adjustments directly on the device via an onboard LED array, with no software required. Textured doubleshot PBT keycaps round out the build for lasting durability and feel.

Together, these features define the Tartarus V2 Pro experience:

Precision at Your Fingertips

• Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 with Rapid Trigger and 0.1–4.0mm adjustable actuation.

Command Every Angle

• 31 programmable controls, a full-sized anti-drift TMR thumbstick with three dedicated buttons, and a fully-adjustable ergonomic wrist rest that slides and rotates to match the player’s natural hand position.

Built to Keep Up

• True 8000 Hz HyperPolling, Razer’s Advanced Input Control suite, and up to 24 configurable keymaps across 3 onboard profiles via Razer Synapse.

With the Tartarus V2 Pro, Razer sets a new benchmark for what a gaming keypad can be, uniting analog optical precision, adaptable control, and ergonomic comfort in a single command centre for MMOs, FPS, and beyond. It marks the next step in the evolution of the Tartarus line, and a platform Razer will keep pushing as competitive play demands more from every input.

Take this story on-the-go and dive into an immersive atmospheric experience! 

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, 17 September 2026 | Publisher Critical Leap and indie developer Mother Gaia Studio are excited to announce that their critically acclaimed time-loop murder mystery, The Posthumous Investigation, is out today on Nintendo Switch and Android! Step into the role of a private investigator faced with an unusual case. It’s up to you to solve the mystery before the clock resets.

Your Client Is…The Victim
Play as an investigator hired by a rather unusual client: an influential entrepreneur who’s already dead. The task? You have a single day to solve the mystery of his murder. The story unfolds in a noir version of 1937 Rio de Janeiro, where each suspect has their own routine, secrets, and motives. Players observe these characters, question their actions, and use each loop to learn more about the case. When the day resets, take your knowledge with you through the time loop to stay one step ahead of the killer. In The Posthumous Investigation, death is the client, and time is your only weapon.

Gather The Evidence
Venture through dirty alleys and postcard-perfect scenery, searching for notes, documents, or anything that serves as a clue. Once you’ve unearthed all the evidence, it’s up to you to piece it together and reconstruct the timeline; only then will you be able to properly accuse the culprit. Use the knowledge you gain from your different time loops to unlock new paths, confront characters, and break open their alibis. Utilize your “Thinking Board” to keep everything you’ve learned organized before making your final accusation. 

A Hand-Drawn Noir World
Your investigation sends you through a hand-drawn 1937 Rio de Janeiro that drips with style, sarcasm, and atmosphere. In this reimagining of the work of Brazilian author Machado de Assis, there is no single correct answer for this world-weary detective. Every accusation has its logic, and the truth is yours to define.

Out Now on Nintendo Switch and Mobile Devices
The Posthumous Investigation is available today on Nintendo Switch and Android devices. Mother Gaia is thrilled to bring the game to more audiences, introducing new players to this homage to Brazilian storytelling. According to Bruno Toledo, Game Director of Mother Gaia: 

Bringing The Posthumous Investigation to other platforms is something we have dreamed about as a team for a long time. We’re so happy that more people can now enter this world inspired by Machado de Assis. We hope the game can be part of the little moments in their day and make the investigation feel even closer.

Gameplay Features

• Master the Time Loop: You only have one day to solve the crime, but unlimited attempts to try new approaches and test different theories. 
• Question Everyone: Fourteen characters with distinct routines, stories, and motivations can be observed and interrogated to uncover who truly wanted the client dead.
• The Thinking Board: Track the progression of the case by checking your board.
• Interrogation & Dialogue: As you move through the time loops, unlock new paths, confront characters, and find the cracks in their alibis. 
• Manipulate Routines: By observing and altering the suspects’ daily schedules, you can create new opportunities to gather information.
• Hand-Drawn Noir-Drenched World: Enjoy a stylized, hand-drawn art style that captures the aesthetic of 1930s Brazil.

The Posthumous Investigation is out now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Android.

The Posthumous Investigation will launch on the Nintendo eShop at midnight, with the release rolling out across Europe and Australia between 2–3 p.m. local time. The Posthumous Investigation is coming soon to iOS.

Former Grand Theft Auto Developers Release Their New Comical Hidden Object Game With a Twist

London, 17th September 2026 – Experience an entirely new twist on the hidden object genre, developed by a team of former Grand Theft Auto talent including Creative Manager Gary Penn! 

PQube and developer Denki today released their wholesome 3D hidden object game, Sniper Dan, digitally on PC (via Steam®), PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2 and Nintendo Switch™, alongside a physical PlayStation® 5 version, Sniper Dan: Hotshot Edition. The Nintendo Switch™ 2 version of the game, available as a standalone purchase or as a free upgrade for owners of the Nintendo Switch™ version, also introduces a new way to play, with Joy-Con 2 Mouse support providing more immersive controls.

To celebrate, a brand-new Launch Trailer was released giving players a glimpse of what they can expect during their time in Clumsy County!

In Sniper Dan, players aren’t hunting enemies, they’re hunting problems. Armed with a trusty sniper rifle, they will travel across six lively locations, from peaceful parks to bustling airports, taking on jobs to help the residents of Clumsy County. On each job, players must decipher clues, scope out the scene, spot the problem and shoot the solution with pinpoint accuracy. From fixing rusty taps, shearing sheep, or even stopping a thieving pelican, every job is a tiny mystery packed with delightful comical moments.

“We had such a good time making Sniper Dan, giggling to ourselves like kids as we imagined how the people we knew would react to the ridiculousness. We like to think that shines through,” said Gary Penn, Creative Director at Denki.

“We’re super happy to bring some much-needed silliness into an overserious world. Sniper Dan is deliberately superdumb fun for all the family – especially backseat players who can sometimes see what the driver does not. Hopefully Sniper Dan can give relief to anyone who woke up today with a burning itch to misuse a lethal weapon to do something benevolent for a change.”

Between jobs, players can use their earnings to purchase new décor for their office, upgrade their sniper rifle, take on additional game modes, and enjoy a variety of mini games. Whether completing jobs, uncovering secrets or aiming for a high score, there’s always something new to discover in Clumsy County.

PQube also revealed that players that purchase Sniper Dan on Steam within the first two weeks from launch will receive a 20% discount.
