    Sunshine & Scanners — Quarantine Zone: Miami Zero Drops FREE on PC & Xbox!

    This year, millions of you stepped up to protect humanity from an apocalyptic zombie outbreak in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check — but your work is far from over. Developer Brigada Games and publisher Devolver Digital have unleashed Miami Zero, a massive, completely free expansion that takes you to where it all began: the sun-soaked streets of Miami, Florida. Available right now on PC (Steam, Game Pass) and Xbox.

    Welcome to Ground Zero

    Miami Zero isn’t just a new map — it’s a prequel campaign that throws you back to the very first days of the outbreak. Before the checkpoints, before the global quarantine, before the world fell apart — spring break was in full swing, and something was spreading faster than beach gossip.

    You’re the first responder on the scene, screening crowds of panicked partygoers, locals, and tourists as the virus takes hold. This is where the story started — and what you discover here changes everything you thought you knew about the infection.

    What’s New in the Sunshine State?

    All-New Gameplay

    • Lab research system — collect samples, study mutations, and track the virus back to its source
    • Fresh inspection mechanics — never-before-seen symptoms require new tools and sharper instincts
    • Yacht restoration project — help survivors repair a luxury vessel as their escape route from the city
    • Dynamic weather — blistering heat gives way to torrential tropical storms that change how the virus behaves
    • Over 30 unique survivors — each with distinct stories, risks, and secrets; your choices ripple across the campaign

    A City on the Edge

    Miami blends glitz and grit in classic style: neon-lit boardwalks, abandoned festival grounds, luxury marinas, and rain-soaked streets where the infected don’t just wander — they adapt. The virus here is mutating fast, and identifying who’s truly safe becomes harder than ever.

    Free for Everyone

    • No purchase required — Miami Zero downloads automatically for all base-game owners
    • Base game 35% off on Steam through 19 Oct 2026 — perfect time to jump in
    • Xbox & PC Game Pass subscribers get full access, including the expansion
    • Miami Supporter Pack available separately — purely cosmetic beach-themed skins and dog outfits to back the team

    Why It Matters

    Quarantine Zone: The Last Check has earned its place as a breakout hit, praised for its tense moral dilemmas, atmospheric storytelling, and deceptively deep simulation mechanics. Miami Zero is the largest update since launch — and Brigada Games is making it free as a thank you to the millions who’ve stood guard at the gate.

    Ready to Return?

    Whether you’re a veteran operator or a new recruit, the beaches of Miami are calling — and the clock is ticking. The outbreak didn’t start at the border. It started here. And someone needs to hold the line.

    Download Miami Zero now via the Quarantine Zone Steam Page or your Xbox library. The sun’s out — but so is the danger.

    Full Throttle — Cleared Hot Drops Free Chapter 2: Jungle Storm Update!

    Dust off your rotors — it’s time to head into the trees.

    Developer Not Knowing Corporation and publisher MicroProse Software have launched Chapter 2: Jungle Storm — a massive, free campaign update for their physics-driven helicopter shooter Cleared Hot, available right now on Steam for all owners.

    Nine New Missions. One Lush, Dangerous Jungle.

    Jungle Storm expands the world of Cleared Hot with a brand-new nine-mission campaign featuring playtime on par with Chapter 1, plus a climactic boss encounter you won’t see coming. You’ll fly through dense canopies, battle sudden storms, and face enemies that know exactly how to use the terrain against you.

    What’s New in the Jungle?

    • Two helicopters join the fleet — the Ka-52 Alligator attack craft and the massive MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter, both chosen by the community
    • Unique abilities for all 11 helicopters — every chopper now has a signature power reflecting its real-world role; no two fly or fight quite the same way
    • Utility Slot system — equip flares, chaff, EMP bursts, airstrike calls, and smoke grenades; grab them from the world or upgrade them in the hangar
    • Dynamic weather — fly through rain, lightning, and thunder; visibility shifts with the storm
    • Fresh threats — BTR armoured carriers, Shilka anti-aircraft vehicles, gunboats, swift boats, and swarms of deadly drones await
    • Customise your ride — unlock helicopter skins using in-game currency
    • Level editor & mod support — build your own missions and share them with the community via early file-based modding tools
    • Enhanced physics — reworked buoyancy and water interaction, plus a refined weapon overheating system

    Overwhelmingly Positive — and Still Growing

    Since launching in Early Access last November, Cleared Hot has earned Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam — 96% approval across over 3,000 players. Chapter 2 is the game’s biggest update yet, shaped directly by community feedback and delivered at no extra cost.

    Ready to Lift Off?

    Chapter 2: Jungle Storm is live right now — simply launch Cleared Hot to download. The game is also currently 20% off on Steam until 29 October, so new pilots can join the fight at a discount.

    From desert dunes to jungle canopies — the mission continues. Will you answer the call?

  • Check-In After Dark — Late-Night Check-In Brings Hotel Horror to Steam

    Check-In After Dark — Late-Night Check-In Brings Hotel Horror to Steam

    The doors are locked, the halls are quiet… and something is waiting.

    Independent developer Uncanny Works has announced Late Night Check-In, a spine-tingling psychological horror game arriving on Steam in Q2 2027. The Steam store page is live right now — and you can wishlist it today to keep one eye on the door.

    A Shift That Shouldn’t Exist

    You’re the new night receptionist at an old, out-of-the-way hotel. What starts as a routine graveyard shift — checking guests in, pouring drinks, keeping the lobby tidy — slowly unravels into something far more unsettling. Strangers arrive at strange hours. The corridors seem to stretch. And the secrets buried in this building are waking up.

    • Do your job — but watch your back — manage the front desk, serve room service, and follow procedure… even when the procedure feels wrong
    • Every guest tells a story — some are harmless, some are hiding something, and some… aren’t human
    • Late-90s retro aesthetic — warm, dated visuals that make the darkness feel all the colder
    • Slow-burn psychological dread — no cheap jump scares; just a tightening feeling that something is very wrong
    • Free demo coming Oct 26 — test your nerves during Steam Next Fest, directly from the game’s Steam page

    Wishlist Now — Don’t Be Late

    The Steam page is open right now. Add Late Night Check-In to your wishlist and be the first to know when the demo drops October 26 — and when the full game checks in next year.

    Will you make it to sunrise? Or will this be your final shift?

  • Depths of Strategy — Fathom Reach Surfaces November 3 on Steam!

    Depths of Strategy — Fathom Reach Surfaces November 3 on Steam!

    Dive into a sunken world where every card played could be your last breath.

    Independent developer Feldsparc has announced that Fathom Reach — an atmospheric underwater roguelike deckbuilder — will launch on Steam this Tuesday, 3 November 2026. And before it arrives, you can test the waters yourself during Steam Next Fest, kicking off October 19 with an enhanced demo!

    A Sunken World of Cards

    Fathom Reach drops you beneath the waves of a ruined ocean, where every dive is a calculated gamble. You’ll descend through dangerous chambers, chain devastating card combos, and face the ultimate choice: push deeper for richer loot… or surface before your hull gives out.

    What Lies Beneath

    • 220+ unique cards across four distinct factions — craft builds around armour, corrosion, swarming drones, marked targets, and more
    • Dive modules — upgrade and reshape your deck between runs; no two dives play the same
    • Three ways to play — test your skill in Open Descent, go the distance in Endless Descent, or compete in the shared Daily Signal
    • Build & defend your base — place traps and weapons to guard your domain; other players will dive against your creation
    • Raid others — take your deck and test it against defences built by real players
    • Hull integrity matters — every hit you take carries forward; push too far and you lose it all

    Try It Soon — Steam Next Fest Demo

    Can’t wait to start your descent? An enhanced demo goes live during Steam Next Fest (Oct 19–26), featuring the latest gameplay polish, balance updates, and a generous preview of what the full release offers. Head to the Fathom Reach Steam Store Page now to wishlist and grab the demo when it drops.

    Ready to Dive?

    From the first card played to the moment you decide to surface, Fathom Reach blends tense push-your-luck exploration with deep, rewarding deckbuilding — all wrapped in a haunting underwater aesthetic.

    The ocean is waiting. Will you bring the treasure home, or vanish into the deep?

    Bound for Tau — Warframe Launches Historic Taubound Community Event!

    The journey beyond the Origin System begins now.

    Digital Extremes has officially kicked off Epoch Operation: Taubound — a landmark, one-of-a-kind community event uniting Warframe players across all platforms to pave the way toward Warframe: Tau, the expansive new star system arriving later this year. Whether you’re a veteran Tenno or just stepping into your first Warframe, you’re invited to be part of history.

    One Community. One Mission.

    Taubound is more than an event — it’s a collective effort. The Sentient mothership Praghasa needs fuel to chart a course to the Tau System, and that fuel comes from you. Here’s how it works:

    • Collect Moonflesh — head to Eris and complete missions to gather this rare new resource
    • Contribute together — every Moonflesh collected worldwide fuels the journey; there’s no too small contribution
    • Time is limited — the operation runs now until Tuesday, 17 November 2026 — and it will never return
    • Open to nearly everyone — if you’ve completed Vor’s Prize, you can join in. New players welcome

    Rewards Fit for a Starfarer

    Trade your Moonflesh with Praghasa and unlock exclusive, one-time rewards that won’t be available again:

    • Contegorus Armor Set — imposing, otherworldly protection
    • Dhampyre Syandana — a striking cape customisation
    • Vacis Amp Skin — stand out in every battle
    • Legendary Core & Honoria — powerful upgrades to boost your Arsenal
    • Vessel Glyphs & Decorations — show off your part in history

    A Story Unfolds — Prologue to Tau

    Alongside the community drive, a brand-new narrative awaits. Complete The Old Peace and The Hex to unlock the Prologue to Tau — a permanent quest that dives into the Lotus’ memories and reveals what lies ahead in the uncharted reaches. Step into the rain-slicked decay of Fornax, tangle with the fearsome Drowners, and face the ruthless kingpin Hunra — all before the full Tau System launches.

    What Is Tau?

    A new binary star system ages in the making — corrupted, dangerous, and full of secrets. Fornax, a once-glorious orbital ring city, now drowns in madness-inducing black rain. It’s here you’ll meet Brysko, a noir-inspired Warframe with a deadly Corecracker pistol and Rain & Shine gauntlets, plus Portau — Warframe’s very first in-game card game.

    Ready to Answer the Call?

    Log in to Warframe now — on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and mobile — to begin your contribution. Visit the Taubound page for full details, and stay tuned for the full Tau System launch coming later in 2026.

  • Solve the Lies Alone — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Out Now on Steam

    Solve the Lies Alone — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Out Now on Steam

    Who needs a crowded voice chat or a late-night board game? The truth is yours to uncover — all on your own.

    Independent developer Gilded Rune Games and publisher Yogscast Games are thrilled to announce that Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction is available right now for PC and Mac via Steam, officially launching 15 October 2026.

    Deception Doesn’t Need a Crowd

    Dupery takes the social deduction genre — think Among Us or classic mystery parties — and reimagines it entirely for single players. No more waiting for friends, no more unreliable allies, no more arguing over who’s telling the truth at 2 a.m. You are the detective, the jury, and the investigator — and every suspect is lying to your face.

    You’re up against the Syndicate — a sprawling criminal network embedded across three distinct regions. Your job? Sift through statements, spot contradictions, and identify who’s truly innocent… and who’s secretly working against you.

    What Makes Dupery Unique

    • 175+ handcrafted roles — from innocent townsfolk to hidden Underlings and treacherous Traitors, every case brings fresh faces and fresh lies
    • Three distinct regions — each with its own mechanics, quirks, and challenges; master them all before facing the Syndicate mastermind
    • Procedurally generated cases — no two investigations play exactly the same; every run offers new puzzles to untangle
    • Build your own crime board — use the in-game notation toolkit to map out suspects, flag inconsistencies, and track your leads
    • Protect your reputation — make the wrong arrest and public trust falls; get it right and doors open wider
    • Roguelite progression — unlock new abilities, quirks, and smarter investigative tools as you close cases and advance

    From Bristol to Your Screen

    Hailing from Bristol, UK, Gilded Rune Games is a small independent studio whose work on Dupery caught fire during the Tiny Teams Festival, where its demo earned glowing praise and a rapidly growing community. An interactive pre-launch ARG campaign even saw players collaborating to decode clues and unlock launch discounts ahead of release.

    Ready to Crack the Case?

    Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction is available now on Steam for PC and Mac. System requirements are light — just Windows 10 or later, a dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, and 1 GB storage — so nearly anyone can step into the detective’s chair.

    Head to the Dupery Steam Store Page to pick it up, and remember: in this game, everyone’s a suspect until proven otherwise.

    The truth is waiting — but so are the lies. Will you see through them?

    His quest for vengeance will carry him through rain-slicked streets, crowded markets, and shadowed back alleys, hunting down those responsible — one bone-crushing strike at a time.

    Brutal, Fluid Martial Arts Combat

    • Chain strikes, blocks, and counters into devastating combos that feel weighty and visceral
    • Finish enemies with brutal, bone-crushing signature moves

  • Sing Your Way Home — Echoes of the Unread Out Now on Steam & NES!

    Sing Your Way Home — Echoes of the Unread Out Now on Steam & NES!

    Prepare to raise your voice and sing your way to freedom in a musical tale of magic, song, and friendship.

    Following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, Echoes of the Unread — the charming 8-bit musical adventure from Clever Cat Games and publisher Mega Cat Studios — has officially launched on Steam alongside a physical NES cartridge release, both arriving October 15, 2026.

    Where Books Come Alive

    You play as Rhapsody, a student who drifts off during a late-night study session in the library — only to wake up in a wondrous world where stories have sprung from the shelves. The library itself has become an adventure, and your voice is your greatest power. Sing to solve puzzles, battle foes, and unlock secrets as you journey through realms inspired by your favourite book genres.

    From a galloping Wild West frontier to a spooky graveyard, from shimmering underwater kingdoms to mysterious lands beyond imagination — every page brings a new world to explore. Along the way you’ll befriend a cowboy, serenade a mermaid, and outsmart a mischievous ghost. Every choice shapes your story, with multiple endings waiting to be discovered.

    Game Highlights

    • Music is your magic — use your voice to manipulate the world, overcome obstacles, and face whatever comes your way
    • Storybook worlds — leap through distinct, vivid realms each with its own characters, challenges, and atmosphere
    • Friends along the way — build bonds with a colourful cast; their help could be the key to getting home
    • Your choices matter — decisions change the journey, leading to different paths and endings
    • Retro charm, modern polish — enjoy classic 8-bit platforming with a challenging Retro Mode for purists
    • Dual release — play on PC via Steam or own a piece of history with the physical NES cartridge

    From Dream to Reality

    The project began life as a Kickstarter where 355 backers rallied together to bring it to life, raising over $25,500 to make this musical dream a reality. Now, thanks to that incredible support, Rhapsody’s adventure is ready for everyone to experience.

    “We’re reading everything — Steam Discussions, Discord, Reddit, in-game surveys,” said Dream Dock CEO Rostislav Fedorov. “Your feedback is helping us make DREADMOOR everything you’re hoping for”.

    Ready to Sing?

    Echoes of the Unread is available right now on Steam and the physical NES edition can be ordered directly from the Mega Cat Studios Store.

    Will you help Rhapsody find her way back? The library is calling — and it’s time to answer with a song.

  • Into the Depths — DREADMOOR Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on November 9

    Into the Depths — DREADMOOR Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on November 9

    Forget peaceful lakes and lazy afternoons — this is fishing at the end of the world.

    Developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment have confirmed that their highly anticipated dark first-person fishing adventure DREADMOOR will cast off into Steam Early Access on Monday, 9 November 2026 — and it’s already swimming in success, ranking among the top 100 most wishlisted unreleased games on Steam.

    A World Lost Beneath the Waves

    DREADMOOR drops you into the Submerged Lands — a haunting, waterlogged realm swallowed by catastrophe. Coastal cities lie drowned, twisted creatures haunt the murky depths, and survival means mastering the tides. You’re not just fishing for sport: every catch is currency, every salvage keeps your boat afloat, and every shadow beneath the surface could be your last.

    What to Expect at Launch

    When it arrives in Early Access next month, players will dive into a complete core experience:

    • Deep, rewarding fishing — target dozens of rare, mutated species; the more dangerous the catch, the higher the reward from mysterious traders
    • Boat progression — upgrade engines, hulls, lights, and fuel capacity to venture further into uncharted waters
    • Full crafting system — forge reinforced harpoons, specialised bait, survival gear, and medicines from salvaged scrap and forgotten blueprints
    • Real-time combat — defend yourself against horrors that lurk both below the waves and on the rotting shorelines
    • One vast, atmospheric region with the complete opening storyline, plus endless exploration once the tale unfolds

    The Road Ahead

    Dream Dock plans to keep DREADMOOR in Early Access for 6–12 months, using player feedback to refine balance, polish, and expand the world. The full release will bring new regions, additional fish species, fresh fishing mechanics, and even more boat upgrades — all while the game is priced lower during Early Access, with a price increase planned for version 1.0.

    “We’re reading everything — Steam Discussions, Discord, Reddit, in-game surveys,” said Dream Dock CEO Rostislav Fedorov. “Your feedback is helping us make DREADMOOR everything you’re hoping for”.

    Ready to Drop Your Line?

    The DREADMOOR demo is already available to try via Steam, giving you a taste of the darkness to come. Head to the DREADMOOR Steam Store Page now to add it to your wishlist and be notified the moment it unlocks on 9 November.

    Will you brave the Submerged Lands? The water’s waiting — but be warned: something is watching from the deep…

  • Bend Time, Save the City — DESOLUS Arrives Across All Major Platforms!

    Bend Time, Save the City — DESOLUS Arrives Across All Major Platforms!

    Step into a city torn between a glorious past and a crumbling future — and rewrite its fate. Today marks the official launch of DESOLUS, the spellbinding first-person puzzle adventure from veteran creator Mark J. Mayers (known for his work on Outer Wilds and Manifold Garden) and publisher The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Xbox.

    A City Suspended Between Then and Now

    DESOLUS invites you to explore a haunting, beautifully realised Gothic metropolis fractured by a cataclysm that threatens to unravel reality itself. Your mission: mend what has been broken, piece by piece, by stepping through portals that let you shift between the city’s vibrant past and its desolate future.

    This isn’t just simple time travel — you’ll use portals and black-hole mechanics to move architecture, swap structures across timelines, and solve mind-bending puzzles inspired by the impossible, mind-bending art of M.C. Escher. Bridges, towers, and pathways exist in one era but not the other — your job is to connect them, restore order, and prevent the collapse that would erase the city entirely.

    Crafted by a Master of Space & Mind

    DESOLUS has been a labour of love more than a decade in the making — a personal project Mayers nurtured alongside his work on some of the most celebrated puzzle and exploration games of the last generation. That pedigree shines through: expect the same thoughtful design, striking atmosphere, and puzzles that reward patience and perception over reflexes.

    With an original piano-driven soundtrack by Kyle Landry and a visual style that feels both timeless and utterly unique, DESOLUS is built to pull you in and keep you thinking long after you step away.

    Ready to Be the Salvation?

    The city waits for its harbinger — and that’s you. Whether you’re playing on console or PC, you can dive in right now and start stitching reality back together.

    • Xbox Series X|S — available now
    • PlayStation 5 — available now
    • Nintendo Switch 2 — available now
