Kicking it up a gear with Taxi Chaos 2 Physical Edition for PlayStation 5 & Nintendo Switch and an all new Splitscreen Mode

Swansea, UK (01/05/26) – Curveball Games rides shotgun with Current Games to bring Taxi Chaos 2 to physical release. Vinny and Cleo are back! Taxi Chaos 2 is racing onto physical with a PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch release coming May 22, 2026.  

Bring the cab-based chaos home to console in the UK, EU, and US with pre-orders currently live from all major retailers. 

Developer, Focuspoint Studios has an extra special update for those couch coop cabbies. Splitscreen will be available from May 21, 2026 for PlayStation and Xbox, no more backseat driving, time to put your money where your mouth is and join your fellow drivers to deliver twice the chaos! 

The new Splitscreen mode is a brand-new game mode where two players take on the rival cab company, H.A.N.K and his dreaded TaxiBots, together. Play as Vinny and Cleo in a new spin on the classic arcade mode.  

The difficulty for this new mode has been rebalanced to provide an appropriate challenge for 2 players. The game mode has its own leaderboard, so you can compete against other teams of players to place the highest scores. So grab a friend and show the world your Taxi driving skills! 

*Please note this game mode will not be available on the Nintendo Switch 1 platform due to performance limitations. The single player collectible hats are not present in the arcade co-op game mode 

In case you missed it, Taxi Chaos 2 features: 

  • Deliver Under Pressure - Your shift hours are limited, so every run counts. Rush point-to-point for fast cash, or take riskier fares with fragile cargo, hazardous routes, or oversized loads for a larger payout. Some jobs even change how your vehicle handles, from extra weight to rockets bolted to the trunk! 
  • Adapt to the Ever-Changing City - The streets never stay the same. Roadworks, hazardous fog, restricted TaxiBot zones and more can block your way, while abilities can unlock shortcuts and open new options. Every shift brings new obstacles and opportunities… 
  • Outdrive the TaxiBots – A.I. taxis ram, block, and disrupt your runs, growing more aggressive as you progress. Avoid them to keep your route clean or confront them to clear the way. 
  • Drive with Style - Your cab reflects your driving style. Pick from Heavy, Sport or Drift vehicles, each tuned for responsive arcade driving. Heavy plows through chaos, Sport focuses on speed, and Drift carries momentum through turns. Personalize your ride with cosmetic customizations. 
  • Power Up Your Cab - Discover new abilities and equip them to match your approach. Utility skills help you access shortcuts or navigate hazards, while combat skills hit back at your TaxiBot rivals. 
  • Play Your Way - Take on the campaign in Story Mode with rising challenges or jump into Arcade Mode for quick runs built for chasing high scores and climbing the leaderboards.

25 Years of Gothic: New Making-of Video Celebrates the Community Behind the Cult Classic

Sydney, Australia – May 1st, 2026: For 25 years, Gothic has sent players into the Colony and for 25 years, its passionate community has kept the flame alive. In the new making-of video for Gothic 1 Remake, Alkimia Interactive puts the spotlight on the people who shaped Gothic far beyond the original game: fans, modders, musicians, artists, LARPers, creators, and everyone who helped turn Gothic into something much bigger than a game.

Gothic 1 Remake – Making of Special “Community”

From early forums such as World of Gothic to legendary fan projects, Gothic has never been just a game. It became a meeting place, a creative playground, and, for many fans, a second home.

The making-of video shows how closely Gothic’s history is tied to its community. Since the early 2000s, fans have exchanged feedback directly with developers, created their own content, and later helped keep parts of the series alive through community patches, tools, and mods.

This connection also plays a central role in Gothic 1 Remake. The team at Alkimia Interactive aims to preserve the spirit of the original while creating a modern version of the Colony, for long-time fans as well as players entering the world of Gothic for the very first time.

The new making-of is not only a behind-the-scenes look at the remake, but also a THANK YOU to everyone who has kept Gothic alive for two and a half decades.

New ROG Xbox Ally Updates: Docking Improvements, Auto SR Preview, Collective Library, Enhanced Vibration, and More

Six months ago, in partnership with ASUS and AMD, we launched the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X to players in 45 countries around the world. These handhelds combine the power of Xbox with all the freedom you expect from Windows 11 for the first time in a portable form factor.

Together with our partners, we’ve been committed to continual updates in response to player feedback. We’ve optimized hundreds of popular games for handheld play, introduced Default Game Profiles, expanded Xbox mode, and much more.

Now, we’re rolling out updates that deliver an improved experience, especially when your device is docked to external TVs and monitors. More than ever, a docked ROG Xbox Ally device will look, feel, and play more like the Xbox console experience you know and love.

To experience all the latest improvements, make sure you’ve installed the latest updates for Armoury Crate SE, the Xbox PC app, Game Bar, and Windows 11. Check out our essential tips for getting started to learn how to stay up to date.

Here’s what’s new:

Docking Improvements

  • Docked play defaults to the TV display

When you dock your ROG Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X, your gameplay now moves to the TV and the handheld display automatically turns off. This delivers the best possible big-screen experience – optimizing resolution, refresh rate, and HDR output.

  • Automatic gaming enhancements on smart TVs

When you dock your ROG Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X, modern smart TVs from Samsung, LG, and Vizio automatically enable built-in gaming features like Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Auto Game Mode (Samsung) or Game/PC Mode (Vizio) for low-latency, high-quality visuals. In collaboration with ASUS, the ROG Bulwark Dock and the ROG 100W Charger Dock support HDR10, with the ROG Bulwark Dock also unlocking Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for even smoother, more responsive gameplay. These features are available today, and we’ll extend support to additional Designed for Xbox docks over time.

  • Display Widget in Game Bar

When docked, you can quickly adjust key display settings directly from Game Bar using a controller. The new Display Widget brings essential controls like display resolution, refresh rate, and projection mode into one streamlined, console-style experience so you don’t have to leave your game or navigate Windows Settings. It only shows options that work with your TV and setup, making it easy to fine-tune visuals and stay focused on playing.

  • Improved controller pairing for docked play

When you pair an Xbox or Designed for Xbox controller, the built-in controls on your docked Xbox Ally are automatically disabled and your paired controller puts you in control. This streamlines the experience and unlocks docked play for a wider range of games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Additional controllers are recognized in-game for multiplayer and couch co-op, and switching back to handheld play is easy: just disconnect your paired controller. For the smoothest experience, pair your controller before docking.

  • Gamepad Cursor

Gamepad Cursor makes it possible to navigate experiences that don’t otherwise support controller input, like web browsers, music streaming apps and third-party PC gaming storefronts. This feature is now rolling out to all Windows 11 PCs via Game Bar update.

Auto Super Resolution Preview

We previously introduced Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR), designed to make games look sharper and play smoother, and shared that it would be coming to the ROG Xbox Ally X. Starting today, Auto SR is available in preview for Xbox Insiders on the ROG Xbox Ally X, to help us test and refine the experience.

For years, players have had to choose between visual quality and performance: turn up resolution and framerate drops or dial it back and the image suffers. When docked and connected to an external display, Auto SR changes that equation, delivering 1440p-like detail alongside smooth framerates on larger screens, where every pixel counts. As part of this preview, we’ve also added Game Bar integration, letting Xbox Insiders easily control when Auto SR is applied to their games.

We’re excited to hear feedback from the Xbox Insider community as we continue improving Auto SR and expanding where it can be applied. For a deeper dive, including examples and tips, check out the Auto SR DirectX blog.

Super Wideband Stereo Voice

In December, we released an update for the Xbox Wireless Headset that added support for Bluetooth LE Audio. When connected to a Windows 11 device with LE Audio support, like the Xbox Ally, you benefit from lower audio latency and improved battery life.

Now, Bluetooth LE Audio on the Xbox Ally handhelds streams in super wideband stereo voice fidelity. For the first time with a Bluetooth connection, you can stay immersed in your game and hear high-fidelity stereo audio even when using the microphone for party chat.

Super wideband stereo voice is available when connected to headsets, earbuds or hearing aids that support Bluetooth LE Audio, including the Xbox Wireless Headset. Make sure your Xbox Wireless Headset is updated to enable LE Audio support.

Enhanced Vibration

Enhanced Vibration provides a fuller, more refined haptic experience that better matches what you expect across Xbox devices. With enhanced vibration, in-game haptic effects feel richer and smoother.

Bring Games from Other PC Storefronts Together in One Library

We recently refreshed the Xbox PC app so that your library experience brings together installed games from across PC storefronts in one place.

Rolling out this month, you can now add, remove, edit, and launch any installed game or app directly from the Xbox experience – including games from other PC gaming storefronts and launchers. Using the new “+” button in the library, you can now add custom games and apps directly. Once added, these games and apps launch directly from your library and can be personalized by editing names, images, launch targets, and command-line options. Removing them from the library doesn’t affect the original game or app.  

Additional Improvements

Based on player feedback, we’ve made several other updates to the ROG Xbox Ally experience. You can see the complete list of updates in the patch notes.

Handheld Compatible, Default Game Profile and Advanced Shader Delivery Titles

Over the last six months, our teams and development partners have been focused on making more games look, play, and feel great on Windows 11 handheld devices. To date, we’ve ensured that more than 1000 PC games immediately play great on handheld through our Handheld Compatibility program.

We also introduced Default Game Profiles late last year, which makes it easy to play supported games at optimal settings and performance when playing unplugged and on the go. And with Advanced Shader Delivery, supported games download precompiled shaders so they launch faster and run smoother the first time you play. Both Default Game Profiles and Advanced Shader Delivery are currently supported on both ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.

Today, many popular games support all three features, including Ninja Gaiden 4Grounded 2High on Life 2The Outer Worlds 2Ark: Survival AscendedMonster Hunter RiseGears of War: Reloaded and more. We’ll add support for these features to even more existing and upcoming games, including Forza Horizon 6, coming to Xbox and PC on May 19, with early access through the Premium Edition or Premium Upgrade bundle allowing you to play up to four days early.

Even More to Come

Our work to refine and evolve the Xbox experience on ROG Xbox Ally and other Windows 11 devices continues. We have even more in store for you based on your feedback, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s ahead! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this latest batch of updates and enhancements. And as always, let us know what you think.

Rough-and-Tumble Gas Station Simulator Prequel Roadhouse Simulator Drops Free Prologue May 19

Get a taste of the Uncle’s early days as a jack-of-all-trades at a Route 66 biker bar

Kraków, Poland – April 30, 2026 – Roadhouse Simulator, the action-packed biker bar management simulator and prequel to the hit Gas Station Simulator which sold 2M units so far, dishes out a free Prologue chapter on PC via Steam on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, offering a taste of the tough life of a Route 66 bouncer and barback. 

Relive the rowdy early years of Gas Station Simulator’s Uncle, starting out as a bouncer at a remote roadhouse on the long desert highway. Keep the place running smoothly by monitoring guests who enter, and maintain order through de-escalation whenever possible, or by stepping in to finish the fight when things get out of hand.

Climb the ranks from bouncer to bartender, mastering the art of attending to demanding patrons. Protect the roadhouse from rival biker gangs who aim to disrupt business, or exploit opportunities for shady deals. Operate discreetly to keep the local sheriff at bay, or risk inspections, fines, and even temporary shutdowns!Roadhouse Simulator: Prologue offers an introductory peek at events leading up to the full game. After hours of trekking across the country in a rundown bus, set foot in the middle of nowhere and prepare to lock in for your new job, Bouncer. What awaits through those doors is a pack of rowdy patrons who clearly lack bar etiquette. Roll up your sleeves and set them straight, restoring order and running the establishment with an iron first. If you lack the guts to get the job done, sling the backpack over your shoulder and step back onto that shabby bus.

“With Roadhouse Simulator, we’re going back to the outlaw days of Route 66 and Gas Station Simulator,” said Joanna Tynor, CEO at DRAGO Entertainment. “The Uncle has been such a popular character in the Gas Station Simulator world, and we’re finally ready to explore his origin story – the prologueis just a first taste.”

A brand new demo for Roadhouse Simulator is also set to debut later this year ahead of the full game’s release. By this point, the Uncle will have a lot more experience under his belt, and players will be able to manage a fully operational bar experimenting with key features and game mechanics. 

Roadhouse Simulator – Prologuelaunches Tuesday, May 19, 2026, on PC via Steam.
