BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, APRIL 27, 2026 – Cyber Tech Mob, Inc., an emerging technology provider for the competitive gaming space, announced today the upcoming launch of MaxOut, the ultimate esports ecosystem built to support multiple aspects of competitive gaming in one place. Available soon on mobile and browser platforms, MaxOut brings together targeted global leaderboards, professional management tools, and features aimed to support teams, leagues, casters, coaches, and competitors across the entire esports industry.

Register for the MaxOut Beta HERE: www.MaxOut.pro 

After years of development and recent beta testing, MaxOut is approaching 10,000 registered users and has partnered with multiple esports organizations, including FSN Asia, Orion Gaming, Apex Esports, and more.

Built for a fragmented industry that often depends on multiple disconnected platforms, MaxOut combines essential esports tools and features into a unified destination. More than a single-purpose platform, MaxOut is designed as a complete ecosystem for competitive gaming, targeted global leaderboards, professional management tools, and integrated features that make it easier to compete, organize, track progress, and stay connected.

“I’ve been a competitor my entire life, and one of the biggest problems in esports is fragmentation,” said Bryan Ragin, founder of MaxOut. “People are forced to use different platforms for rankings, stats, event operations, communication, and visibility. The worst part is that many of those tools are not specific to esports. We are the first platform in the world to address many of these issues, some of them at a microscale. With this beta, we are introducing the core of MaxOut, with more features and tools already in the works. We expect to keep building on that foundation as we continue addressing more of the needs in esports and beyond.”

MaxOut is currently conducting a closed beta, with registration open now at www.MaxOut.pro.

As MaxOut begins making its presence known in the scene, the company is focusing on creating strategic networks of regional managers, league organizers, and users who share our vision and believe they can contribute valuable feedback, help shape the platform and grow together with us.

“We truly love the direction MaxOut is heading. We’re excited about what the future holds, and we’re very happy and proud to be part of this journey.” – Orion Gaming

Built Around the Core Needs of Esports
MaxOut is title – and platform-agnostic, with active communities already formed for Brawl Stars, Valorant, Call of Duty, Pokemon, League Of Legends, Inazuma, PUBG and more.

The Ultimate Esports Ecosystem
MaxOut is designed to bring multiple parts of the competitive gaming experience together into one connected platform, instead of forcing users to rely on separate tools and services.

For Teams, Leagues, Casters, Coaches, and More
MaxOut is designed to support more than just players. It is built for the broader esports community, including the people and organizations behind the competition. Its integrated prize and milestone systems help keep users engaged while creating a clear path toward partner status and revenue-sharing opportunities.

Targeted Global Leaderboards
MaxOut gives users structured visibility through leaderboards built to highlight performance, progression, and competition across different regions, communities, and titles.

Professional Management Tools
MaxOut includes professional management tools built to simplify esports operations at scale. This includes Snap Stats, an AI-powered feature that allows users to update results with a screenshot for games that do not have APIs, making stat reporting faster, easier, and less dependent on manual spreadsheet entry.

All the Tools and Features Needed, In One Place
From event support and social engagement to player tracking and beyond, MaxOut brings together the tools and features esports users need most in one platform. By making the business side more manageable, MaxOut allows users to focus more on their talents while making collaboration and growth easy and more scalable.

ABOUT CYBER TECH MOB
Cyber Tech Mob (CTM) was founded in 2023 by lifelong Esports competitor, team manager and event organizer Bryan Ragin.

The FIA Esports Global Rally Tour will feature a multi‑stage competitive format, giving thousands of Assetto Corsa Rally players worldwide the opportunity to compete in a structured, merit‑based championship. 

Beginning on May 12, a global online qualifier hosted on Assetto Corsa Rally will select 56 top drivers worldwide: 16 from Europe (combined North and South) and 8 from each of the other five participating regions MENA, North America, South America, Asia‑Pacific, and Africa. 

Following the initial qualification phase, the competition will move into regional shootouts, featuring a knockout format with quarter‑finals, semi‑finals, and a final. 

The series will begin with the Asia‑Pacific regional shootout on 23 June, held during the FIA Conference in Macau, S.A.R. China. 

The European regional shootout will follow on 16 –18 October in Frankfurt, Germany, as part of the SimRacing Expo.

From this phase, the 16 best virtual rally drivers in the world will earn access to the FIA Esports Global Rally Tour Finals, scheduled to take place during FIA Awards Week in Shanghai in December, where they will compete head‑to‑head for international recognition, prestige, and a place on the global esports stage.  

The championship will culminate on 12 December 2026, during the FIA Awards Ceremony, with the top two drivers facing off live on stage in a side‑by‑side Grand Final. 

“One of the FIA’s key priorities is to develop the field of Esports and to connect its rapidly growing audience with our National Sporting Authorities around the world, in order to help strengthen their local initiatives”, said Niroshan Pereira, the FIA Esports Commission President.  “The FIA Esports Global Rally Tour truly embodies this vision and marks a significant step forward for the sport. Rallying enjoys boundless popularity, and I am delighted to expand the scope of our Esports competitions – which have so far been focused on circuit racing – to include the discipline of rallying.  We can expect to see thousands of drivers from around the world competing on Assetto Corsa Rally for the chance to showcase their talent in front of all the FIA World Champions in Shanghai later this year at the FIA Awards ceremony.” 

“Being selected by the FIA as the official platform for a global rally esports competition of this scale represents an important validation step for Assetto Corsa Rally and for the work carried out by Supernova Game Studio to date”, commented Mauro Notarberardino, Studio Director at Supernova Games Studio.  “While the game is still in its Early Access phase, it is already considered one of the reference points within the rally sim racing landscape. This recognition represents a promising foundation as we look ahead to the future potential of Assetto Corsa Rally.”

Turn every hand into a deadly advantage in a brutal roguelike card battler where builds evolve and survival is never guaranteed.

Shanghai, China – April 29, 2026. Indie developer Breaker Games is thrilled to announce that Apokerlypse, the strategic roguelike card battler set in the world of Apocalypse Party, is now available on PC via Steam for $9.99USD / £8.50GBP / €9.99EUR with a limited-time20% launch discount.

At its core, Apokerlypse is built for deep experimentation and endless replayability. Players choose from five unique heroes, each offering distinct playstyles, skill sets, and chip pools that fundamentally shape how every run unfolds. From there, progression expands through more than 70 skills and affixes, alongside 400 Demon Chips that dramatically alter strategies and enable wildly different builds. Combined with 13 powerful card enchantments and full deck control systems that allow players to buy, remove, and refine their decks, every run becomes an exercise in adaptation and optimisation.

Watch the Apokerlypse launch trailer below

Beyond solo play, Apokerlypse introduces a layered multiplayer experience designed to keep players constantly on edge. Players can challenge real builds asynchronously, facing decks created by others across the globe, or step into 2–3 PvP online multiplayer matches, a rare twist on the genre where high-stakes decision-making and risk collide in chaotic, strategy-driven showdowns.

For even more unpredictability, dedicated multiplayer modes introduce wildcard mechanics such as Destiny Cards and Party Feasts, which can radically shift the flow of any match and force players to rethink their strategies in real time.

Whether playing alone or competing against others, progression is always moving forward. As players climb the ranks, enemy builds grow more complex, demanding sharper strategies, stronger combinations, and constant adaptation to survive.

For those wanting a taste before diving in, a free standalone prologue, Hell is Empty, Demons Are Playing Apokerlypse, is available now on Steam. This single-player-focused prequel tells a self-contained story across three chapters, casting players as Satan on a brutal ascent through the underworld.

Download Hell is Empty, Demons Are Playing Apokerlypse for free on Steam now.

Pre-registration for Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster open today

Shanghai, China — April 29, 2026 | Chinese publisher HAOPLAY is thrilled to announce Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster, a casual puzzle game scheduled to launch on iOS and Android later this year. Pre-registration is open from today, promising a whole host of rewards upon the game’s official launch for anyone that signs up.

In Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster, players assume the role of Captain Quack, a duck tasked with helming a magical ark on an oceanic voyage, in a world that’s been devastated by monsters. Quack — along with super-powered avian companions they’ve recruited along the way — must battle dangerous enemies, and overcome many obstacles, on their way to finding a new home for the flock.

Each stage involves players managing a group of birds, as they fire eggs at a variety of adversaries down a pachinko-style board. The goal is to eliminate monsters, and rack up points, by ricocheting eggs from one foe to the next until the board is clear. 

Players can optimise their approach on each level with their squad selection: while only five birds can be selected for each stage, there are up to fifty unique birds in the game, across six different classes — Celestial, Cold, Combo, Fire, Lightning, and Strike. Classes interact with one another in different ways, allowing players to try different combinations to find the optimal strategy. Bird stats can be improved through evolving and levelling up, abilities can be altered via the card system, and new equipment can be forged to increase the team’s overall combat power. 

In addition to the main campaign, players can hone their skills in the demanding Purgatory Tower, relax and reel in some monsters at the Fishing Ground, or take on other players in the Starry Expedition mode.

Pre-registration is open now on the official Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster website. Anyone who signs up before launch will receive the following rewards when the game is released later this year:

• Tier 1 Reward: Mystery Egg x10, Gold x1000
• Tier 2 Reward: Rare Egg x5, Runestone x50
• Tier 3 Reward: S-Class Hero Shard x10, Bone x100
• Tier 4 Reward: A-Class Monster Capsule x5, Exclusive “Novice” Avatar Frame
