Iconic cover stars Tiger Woods, Max Homa, and Matt Fitzpatrick, updated graphics, gameplay, and customisation features offer the ultimate “Next Round, Best Round” experience

Sydney, Australia – February 29, 2025 – Today, 2K announced that PGA TOUR® 2K25, the newest entry in the golf simulation franchise from HB Studios, is now available worldwide on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam. Players can step onto the tee box and take their best shot at golf glory with several franchise advancements, including upgraded graphics and the addition of new EvoSwing mechanics, which offer a host of new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual improvements. The new Perfect Swing difficulty setting offers beginner players a more forgiving intuitive experience and veteran players a more relaxing round. The most immersive and customisable PGA TOUR 2K MyPLAYER and MyCAREER* experience to date offers a diverse suite of customisation options, while the franchise’s signature Course Designer offers new tools to allow players more freedom to create their dream courses and share them with the global community.

“We’ve reached a major milestone in the evolution of the franchise with PGA TOUR 2K25,” said Dennis Ceccarelli, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sports at 2K. “From the moment players step onto the digital tee box, they’ll feel the difference – whether it’s the precision of EvoSwing, the ease of Perfect Swing or the depth of our all-new progression systems. With enhanced realism, refined gameplay and three Major Championships, PGA TOUR 2K25 delivers the most immersive and rewarding golf experience ever made.”

PGA TOUR 2K25 features an array of new features and improvements on existing fan-favourites:

• EvoSwing: Realism is dialed up with the all-new EvoSwing mechanic for both Swing Stick and 3-Click Swing. Whether a player is new to the franchise or a seasoned veteran, EvoSwing complements the player’s own rhythm and dexterity to better simulate the feeling of swinging a golf club when using Swing Stick. While with 3-Click Swing, players can enjoy the enhanced simulation while using visual cues to hit their shot;
• Perfect Swing: Delivering the most accessible and intuitive golf experience, players can try out the all-new Perfect Swing experience, which ensures perfect contact with every swing. New players can get their bearings with club choice, shot types, lie, wind and various other inputs without worrying about immediately finding their “perfect swing.” Perfect Swing is also great for veteran players who simply wish to enjoy a relaxing experience before jumping back into more competitive modes;
• Make History in Major Championships: For the first time in franchise history, PGA TOUR 2K25 players can prove themselves on some of golf’s grandest stages and become a legend of the game by conquering three Majors – the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, and The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club – marking the franchise debut for all three iconic venues.
• Licensed Courses and Topgolf: 27 licensed courses and events are available at launch, including PGA TOUR tournaments such as the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, and THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The familiar Topgolf experience returns while also adding a range of quests for players to complete. Not to be outdone, the Home of Golf comes to PGA TOUR 2K25 in Season 2 with The Old Course at St. Andrews Links ready for play shortly after launch;
• Play as the Pros: In addition to leaderboards stacked with 200+ big names across the PGA TOUR landscape, PGA TOUR 2K25 players can take control of a roster of 11 featured male and female pros at launch, including Tiger Woods, Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, Lydia Ko, Tom Kim, Brooke Henderson, and more. Also, “The World’s Greatest Golfer” Chris McDonald** joins the field to teach the pros a thing or two about the sport;
• MyPLAYER, Your Way: The most diverse suite of MyPLAYER creation tools yet allows players to represent themselves in the most authentic way on the course.

Apparel options are available from licensed brands, including adidas, FootJoy, Malbon Golf, and more***. Clubs and balls from brands including Callaway, COBRA, Mizuno, PUMA, and Titleist can deck out players’ golf bags and keep them swinging in style;

Trek across vast open-world dunes in groups of up to six players, customize your mech fortress, and battle against other iron beasts and their crews to claim your fortune.

SAND is set in an alternate-history, diesel-punk world – the ruined planet Sophie – where an ecological disaster has evaporated the oceans. All that’s left are humans and their Trampler mechs, titanic mechanical moving structures that can traverse Sophie’s sprawling wasteland. Working alone or in teams, humanity now scours Sophie’s sprawling deserts, scavenging for hidden riches and fighting to keep them.

Players got a taste of SAND’s unforgiving terrain and intense gameplay with a demo that was ranked among the top 10 most played in Steam Next Fest last year, as well as a highly successful open playtest that attracted over 200K testers. Early access will introduce loads of improvements along with continued development to keep players coming back to Sophie.

Early Access Features

• New cities, points of interest and way more loot
• Undead NPCs that roam cities and engage in combat with players
• New environmental hazards such as minefields
• Revamped controls for Tramplers
• New Trampler customization options, including new compartments and a new chassis option

New gameplay content and features will be added throughout early access in regular updates, and a development roadmap will be available at launch detailing what to expect from the future of SAND.

Cleanse cash on consoles in Q4 2025

HILVERSUM, NETHERLANDS – Feb. 28th, 2025 – Cash Cleaner Simulator, the relaxing money processing sim from developer Mind Control Games and publisher Forklift Interactive, arrives on PC via Steam just in time for spring cleaning on Thursday, May 8. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases follow in Q4 2025 as revealed yesterday at IGN Fan Fest.

Take on dirty jobs to make filthy bills, coins, and treasures look like new, indubious valuables and become filthy rich in the process! Scrub, stack, and sort piles of money with a wide selection of experimental tools to a bass-heavy trap soundtrack. Kick back and focus on the cleansing craft with no time restraints or pressure in this lucrative new career.

Search the darknet on a jailbroken cell phone to reach new clients and quietly convert some of their currency into untraceable crypto to buy new cleaning tools, upgrade current machines, and purchase furnishings to cozy up the Cash Cleaner Lab. Try out new gadgets like the washing machine and drier, UV lamp, workbench and furnace. Furnish, and decorate the space with plants, Moneyball hoops, and more.

Make use of spare piles of dough by forming and shooting basketballs, creating confetti by sending cheddar flying with the Money Gun, and burning money in the fireplace to keep the lab warm. Snoop around the lab with UV lights and other tools to find wealth storage solutions and secrets – and perhaps even discover the reason there’s no exit.

“We wanted to focus on the joy and satisfaction of cleaning and organizing as a form of ASMR with money,” said Leonid Gorbachev, CEO of Mindcontrol Games. “We hope Cash Cleaner Simulator becomes a new favorite way to relax, whether that’s through cleaning, decorating, or playing around in the lab with no deadlines.”

Cash Cleaner Simulator will make suspicious money sparkle on PC via Steam Thursday, May 8, and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q4 2025. It will support English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Spanish languages.

Embark on a Journey to the Forbidden Lands in the critically acclaimed latest evolution of Capcom’s best-selling Monster Hunter™ series

London (February 28, 2025) Today Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, released the highly anticipated co-op action RPG Monster Hunter Wilds™ on PlayStation®5 with PS5®Pro Enhanced support, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Join the Expedition Team as they journey to the Forbidden Lands in search of the mysterious “White Wraith” and unravel the mystery of this unrelenting frontier. Wield 14 iconic weapon types ranging from Great Swords to Gunlances and battle larger than life monsters uniquely adapted to their ever-changing environments. Then gather resources to craft an expansive arsenal of more powerful gear to take on even bigger challenges in your search for answers.

Watch the Monster Hunter Wilds launch trailer below, visit the official website.

Venture to the Forbidden Lands

After rescuing the young boy Nata on the border of the reportedly uninhabited Forbidden Lands, the Hunter’s Guild gathers its resources and forms the Forbidden Lands Expedition Team to investigate Arkveld, the mysterious “White Wraith,” that attacked Nata’s village. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the player’s Hunter is joined in the Expedition Team’s Avis unit by Alma the Guild-appointed Handler, Gemma the reliable Smithy, and the Hunter’s trusty Palico.

Upon arriving in the Forbidden Lands, the Expedition Team encounters multiple biomes with dynamic identities that players can experience seamlessly between cutscenes and gameplay. The ecosystems of the Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Oilwell Basin, and more rapidly shift between vibrant seasons of “Plenty” brimming with life, and unforgiving periods of “Fallow” where monsters fight over limited resources. The sudden shift in the landscape known as the “Inclemency” drastically impacts both the creatures that live there and pushes hunters to adapt their tactics.

A Whole New World

Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures alongside series mainstays like the iconic Rathalos, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters – some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors. The Apex predators of each region such as Rey Dau, Uth Duna, and Nu Udra are heralded by a period of Inclemency that reshapes the environment around them. The Seikret, an agile new mount native to the Forbidden Lands, enables hunters to track monsters across the shifting scenery, perform actions like wielding the Hook Slinger to gather materials on the move, and easily switch between two weapons while out on hunts.

The Monster Hunter™ series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. Utilise the new Focus Mode to carefully aim attacks and guards while identifying weak points on a monster, then target wounds with Focus Strikes to deal massive damage. Some weapons also have the ability to disrupt monsters’ attacks using either Offset Attacks that counter monster attacks with an attack of their own, or Power Clashes that can physically overpower a monster after an intense struggle. As you master these new additions to combat and enjoy the rich story of Monster Hunter Wilds, you can play solo, join up to three other players across any system with cross-platform online multiplayer, or receive aid from notable story characters with the new Support Hunter NPC ally feature.

The Road Ahead

Beyond today’s highly anticipated release, Monster Hunter Wilds will continue to evolve with post-launch content updates. Event Quests will be introduced starting next week, with special armor that players can earn as rewards. The first free major Title Update is planned to release in Spring 2025 and will see the return of fan-favourite monster Mizutsune, the sleek dancing Leviathan that ensnares its prey with immobilising bubbles. Additional details on limited-time quests and the other exciting content coming in free Title Update 1 will be revealed soon. Please also stay tuned for details on future free Title Updates, including this summer’s Title Update 2 in the near future.
