Fallout 76: The Slasher, the game’s 70th free update, is available now alongside the highly anticipated next-generation update for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. 

The shadow of a mysterious killer, inspired by a Fallout legend, spreads across the Wasteland. The Slasher brings a season-long trail of clues, unsettling encounters, new enemies, and deadly rewards for those brave enough to investigate. 

The Slasher
A mysterious figure masquerading as the infamous Pint-Sized Slasher has begun terrorising Appalachia. As reports of disappearances spread across the region, Vault Dwellers must follow clues, investigate grisly discoveries, and survive encounters with the Slasher’s growing army of devoted followers.

Over the course of the event, from today through December 1, new activities and challenges will unlock across the map, building an ongoing narrative that rewards players for returning each week. From scavenger hunts and unmarked graves to Daily Ops, Infestations, Mischief Night celebrations and more, every step brings players closer to uncovering the truth behind the legend. 

Follow His Clues
As players explore Appalachia, they’ll collect mysterious evidence tied to the imposter Slasher’s killings. These form the foundation of a larger mystery, which will eventually lead to a cinematic showdown.  

Along the way, players will encounter eerie new enemies including the devoted followers of the Pint-Sized Slasher, the Pint-Sized Phantoms and fanatics, all while earning themed rewards, including new power armour and skins. Will Appalachia uncover the truth behind the legend, or become the Slasher’s next victim? 

Why now?
With The Slasher, Fallout 76 reaches its 70th free update, continuing years of ongoing support and new content for the ever-evolving Wasteland. It also marks a new approach for the game, connecting activities across Appalachia into a single evolving experience. This new, limited time event system can be implemented in future planned updates. 

Described by Creative Director Jon Rush as ” a first of its kind update for Fallout 76 – a frightening experience that unravels over the weeks spanning our Fall updates”, The Slasher transforms the Wasteland itself into part of the story, with new developments unfolding throughout the season. 

“We’ve long harboured a dark fascination with the various serial killers of Fallout lore, and no name looms as large as The Pint-Sized Slasher. The idea of bringing his namesake into the current Fallout 76 timeline, reimagined through the lens of a manipulative fanatic and his band of merry murderers, was too good to pass up.  Especially when coupled with the Fall season! A perfect setting for murder!” 

Next Gen in Appalachia
In tandem with this update, Fallout 76 has been optimised for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. On all platforms, players can now experience Fallout 76 at 1440p and 60fps, delivering a smoother, next-generation experience for The Slasher and all future updates. Owners of Fallout 76 on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 can upgrade for free. Bethesda Game Studios will continue to support previous gen consoles with additional visual improvements and stability. 

Fallout 76: The Slasher is available now on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4. Fallout 76 is also available via Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra.

Set in the familiar PAW Patrol universe and taking place in the same prehistoric world as the upcoming theatrical release of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, this brand-new 3D adventure tells a unique Dino Island story, inviting players to join Ryder and the PAW Patrol for an adventure filled with rescues, exploration and dinosaur-sized surprises.

Mayor Humdinger is causing chaos across Dino Island, with dinosaurs disappearing and trouble spreading across every region. It’s up to the PAW Patrol to work alongside their prehistoric friends to uncover its mysteries, restore order to the island and prove once again that no dino is too big, and no pup is too small.

Created for young players and families, PAW Patrol: Dino World lets players explore four vibrant regions of Dino Island, from The Shore and The Jungle to Dino Plains and The Volcano. Each area is filled with rescue missions, environmental puzzles, mini-games, hidden collectibles and opportunities to discover a lively prehistoric world.

Players can step into the paws of all six playable pups – Chase, Marshall, Skye, Zuma, Rubble and Rocky – each equipped with their own unique abilities and signature vehicles. Throughout the adventure, players can switch between pups as they solve problems, complete rescues and explore every corner of the island.

Designed with accessibility and family play in mind, PAW Patrol: Dino World can be enjoyed solo or in local two-player co-op. The game encourages teamwork, exploration and problem-solving, making it easy for friends and family to jump into the adventure together.

Players are also encouraged to make the adventure their own through a wide range of unlockable customisation options. By discovering hidden treasure chests and collecting pup treats throughout Dino Island, players can unlock new accessories for the pups, customise their vehicles and even decorate their dinosaur friends with fun cosmetic items.

“Working with Nickelodeon on PAW Patrol continues to be a wonderful opportunity for the team, so we’re thrilled to see PAW Patrol: Dino World launch today,” says Robin Flodin, CEO of Outright Games Group. “From the start, our goal was to create an accessible and engaging adventure that captures the spirit of the franchise. We’re excited for families around the world to finally be able to experience the adventure for themselves.”

Since its launch in 2013, PAW Patrol has grown into one of the world’s leading preschool entertainment franchises, spanning hit television series, blockbuster films, live experiences, toys and interactive entertainment enjoyed by families worldwide.

With PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie debuting in cinemas now, families can begin their Dino Island adventure today and experience the prehistoric world firsthand alongside the pups as it reaches the big screen.

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.
