23rd of July – Melbourne, Australia – Late last year, a joke about a bird game that didn’t exist started making its way around the internet. People were using AI to fake a handful of gameplay clips from something called “Bird Game 3,” and for reasons nobody could quite explain, it caught on.
Today, HexNest Games is proud to announce that Birds of War, the class-based aerial PvP game born from that meme, is officially available today on Steam.
Birds of War drops three teams of three into fast, chaotic aerial combat, stealing eggs from rival nests and defending their own, with proximity voice chat that means you hear an opponent coming before you see them, and they hear everything you say back. The easiest way to describe it: it’s COD, but you’re a bird. It’s the game internet culture accidentally designed, built for real by a team of three: a rapper, a videographer, and a former professional esports player.
The game launches with 100,000 people already on the Steam wishlist, and none of them got there through paid advertising. During Steam Next Fest, the demo had more than 25,000 unique players that week and hit a peak of around 300 concurrent players in a single week.
Twitch streamer LIRIK played it live to his three million followers and stopped mid-session to say it outright: “You guys might have something here, this could be the biggest thing. Rip Fortnite. This could be the next Marvel Rivals, I see it. I see it.”
“We kept seeing these fake AI clips of a multiplayer bird game that didn’t actually exist, so we decided to change that. We thought it would take 2 weeks. It didn’t. Six months later, it’s finally here. This is a win for human and bird-kind, we stole AI’s job. Introducing Birds of War, it’s essentially COD but you’re a bird. It’s a 3v3v3 team-based shooter with no guns, just beaks and claws. You pick a bird class, fight over eggs, scream at each other in proximity chat, and somehow it all works. This is our first game as founders, built independently alongside our good friend Matt Didehvar, an ex-esports pro (Fnatic) and veteran developer.” says Seaton Rogers, Founder of HexNest Games, known to most as Australian rapper YNG Martyr.
Birds of War Key Features:
3v3v3 Aerial Combat – class-based dogfighting across fast, chaotic matches
Nine Bird Classes – Crow, Hummingbird, Shoebill, Pigeon, Owl, Eagle and more, each with a distinct playstyle
Proximity Voice Chat – hear the enemy before you see them, and they hear you
Ragdoll Physics – melee-first combat where every hit and every elimination makes its own highlight reel
Pay to Flex, Not Pay to Win – cosmetic-only monetisation, nothing purchasable affects gameplay
Built for Content – 9:16 in-game camera toggle and a Mute All Forever button, made for streamers and short-form creators
ABOUT BIRDS OF WAR: Birds of War is a class-based aerial PvP game where nine bird classes battle across multiple modes, including Egg Conquest, Team Deathmatch, Free for All and Infected. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game combines melee-first, physics-driven combat with proximity voice chat for a genuinely chaotic multiplayer experience, and everything purchasable in-game is cosmetic only.
ABOUT HEXNEST GAMES: HexNest Games is an independent studio based in Melbourne, Australia. Founder Seaton Rogers is a working Australian rapper known as YNG Martyr. Co-founder Samuel Gordon is a videographer who has shot much of Rogers’ music content. Lead Developer Matt Didehvar is a former professional esports player who competed for Fnatic before COVID-era travel restrictions ended his competitive career. Birds of War is the studio’s debut title, self-funded, self-marketed and built entirely by this team of three.
Official NBA 2K27 Gameplay Trailer Premieres Worldwide on July 29
July 23, 2026 – Today, 2K officially announced the cover athletes for NBA 2K27, the latest iteration of the NBA video game franchise developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs Centre who made history as the NBA’s first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, will grace the cover of the Standard Edition. Indiana Fever Guard, 2024 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year, three-time WNBA All-Star starter, and player who has transformed the landscape of women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark, will star on the Deluxe Edition. Chicago Bulls legend Derrick Rose, three-time NBA All-Star and the youngest MVP in NBA history, will be celebrated on the limited-time Ultra Edition.
NBA 2K27 launches September 4 across PlayStation®5 (PS5®), XBOX Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch™ 2. Deluxe Edition or Ultra Edition owners won’t have to wait long as Early Access begins on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 2:00 AM AEST.*
“Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose each come from different worlds, but they share the same obsession that has altered the trajectory of the game,” said Zak Armitage, SVP & GM of NBA 2K. “Wembanyama has broken the mould for what a big man can be and keeps breaking it. Clark is pulling up from the logo, not just redefining what range looks like, but the women’s game entirely. And Rose changed what it meant to be a point guard – explosive, physical, unstoppable – and when faced with setbacks, his hunger for the game is what brought him back. None of them have an off switch, and that same relentless drive is what defines NBA 2K27.”
“When you’re truly obsessed with basketball, the game doesn’t stop when you leave the arena. NBA 2K is the court that never locks up, it’s always open whether you’re in Paris or San Antonio. It’s how you study the game, sharpen your IQ, and live basketball 24/7,” said Standard Edition cover athlete Victor Wembanyama. “To be the face of a game that fuels that hunger for hoops and whose covers immortalise the all-time greats, that’s a dream come true for me.”
“Being on the cover of NBA 2K27 is special because this game reaches fans all over the world,” said Deluxe Edition cover athlete Caitlin Clark. “To be the first WNBA player on her own global cover means women’s basketball gets to show up on that stage too, and I am proud to be part of that.”
“It’s crazy looking back at being on the NBA 2K13 cover to now having my own edition for NBA 2K27,” said Ultra Edition cover athlete Derrick Rose. “During my journey there have been coaches who believed in me, teammates who made me better, and fans who showed up louder than I ever expected. So, this is a chance to inspire young athletes to stay obsessed with the game. To show them that when you put in the countless hours of hard work, it rewards you.”

Travel through time on an excellent adventure on an absurd quest for extra credit
MIAMI – July 22, 2026 –LIFTED, the cinematic puzzle-platforming comedy adventure from former Disney Imagineer Jeffrey Ashbrook and his company Adventure Works, launches on PC via Steam today, with versions for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 arriving at a later date.
It’s a tale as old as time(-travel): slacker student Ari Buktu begged Professor Lionel Raventhorpe for extra credit, but he never expected an epic adventure across space and time! The eccentric Professor, smitten with Miss Barton down the hall, just knows he could woo his great love with a legendary tiara…but he’ll need help searching through eras to find it! Strap in for a journey inspired by ’80s blockbusters, with all of the escapades and none of the violence.
Step into the Professor’s time machine and visit awe-inspiring locations like 1818 Egypt, swashbuckling pirate-ridden islands, and ancient Mayan civilizations. Professor Raventhorpe may be the brains, but Ari is the brawn! Jump and swing with Ari’s trusty grappling hook just like old-timey adventurers, solve head-scratching puzzles, pull off laugh-inducing hijinks, and evade some of history’s trickiest troublemakers to reach the treasure. Enjoy fully voiced endless banter adding levity to every level, with voice acting from Joe Gaudet (Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted), Ray O’Hare (Once Upon a Wasteland: A Fallout Story), and Evan Widjaja as their furry chinchilla sidekick Julius.
After spending years perfecting his craft of interactive storytelling while developing beloved Disney Parks rides, including the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Ashbrook wanted to expand beyond live experiences. He founded Adventure Works to share his original stories while applying the immersive techniques and compelling narrative design skills he honed while designing world-class park attractions. “LIFTED is built on the principles that I learned at Disney: there can be magic in every moment,” said Jeffrey Ashbrook, Founder, Adventure Works. “From the opening cutscene to the music, down to the clever back-and-forth dialogue between Ari and Professor Raventhorpe — I wanted gameplay to feel like playing through a classic animated movie, evoking the same childlike wonder we all felt when watching our favorite childhood films.”
LIFTED is now available on PC via Steam, with Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 versions launching at a later date. It includes language support (text only) in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

About Shift at Midnight
Managing a gas station is tough work, keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store nice and clean.
Oh, and make sure to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers – miss one and they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends… Execute on site if you think they are not human – just be sure to clean up after.
If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as horrible monsters.
Manage your gas station
Stock the shelves, take deliveries, keep your store clean & serve customers. Each shift is randomly generated… meaning no 2 shifts are the same.
Not all customers are human…
Managing a gas station these days also means you have to be a detective… You may ask each customer 5 questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour. Make sure they are human before you let them leave, or they will come back…
Board Up, Lay Traps and Hide
If a creature manages to leave the store, all hell breaks loose. Barricade the doors, place traps, and find a place to hide. Survival is no longer guaranteed.
Better with friends!
Multiplayer is where the game thrives, work together or at least be together… proximity chat enhances the experience.
Features:
Multiplayer
Proximity chat
Interrogate customers
Randomly Generated Shifts
