  • BARREL ROLLS, BOOST, AND BRAVADO — LOW SPACE RACE BLASTS BACK WITH MASSIVE ‘OUT OF THE VOID’ UPDATE

    BARREL ROLLS, BOOST, AND BRAVADO — LOW SPACE RACE BLASTS BACK WITH MASSIVE ‘OUT OF THE VOID’ UPDATE

    No power-ups. No random loot. No lucky pickups to save you when you’re outgunned. Just pure, unfiltered speed — and the split-second choice that wins or loses the race.

    Developer collective Super Game Builder has today dropped Out of the Void, the landmark free update for their acclaimed anti-gravity racer Low Space Race, overhauling tracks, machines, and competition while keeping the one rule that matters: skill is the only thing that counts.

    ENERGY IS EVERYTHING — THE HEART OF THE RACE

    Low Space Race doesn’t play like other anti-gravity racers. Your energy is your boost and your shield — push too hard and you’ll go fast, but one hit from a rival and you’re gone.

    • Drafting — tuck behind another racer to recharge your energy
    • Barrel-roll attack — spin into a rival and deal five times normal damage
    • Slide mechanics — drift without losing momentum, rotate freely, snap direction instantly
    • Steal energy — wreck someone and their reserves become yours

    It’s a high-stakes dance: conserve to survive, or burn bright to lead. Every race is a balancing act between aggression and survival — and there are no shortcuts.

    OUT OF THE VOID — EVERY TRACK REBUILT, EVERY MACHINE REFRESHED

    This isn’t a handful of tweaks — it’s a complete reimagining of the game. The update delivers:

    • All 12 tracks fully rebuilt from the ground up — tighter corners, smarter layouts, zones designed for maximum chaos
    • All 16 racing machines redesigned and rebalanced — every craft now has a clearer identity, strengths, and playstyle
    • X Cup — an all-new championship featuring 4 procedurally generated tracks, so no two championships ever feel the same
    • Ironman Mode — permadeath racing; crash once and your run is over
    • Last-Man-Standing — the ultimate test of endurance; racers drop out until only one remains
    • Global leaderboards wiped clean — a fresh start for every pilot to claim their place
    • Online multiplayer — now fully supported alongside 1–4 player local split-screen and Steam Remote Play Together

    NO TEXTURES, NO MODELS — PURE PROCEDURAL SPEED

    Low Space Race is something genuinely rare: everything you see is generated entirely by code. No pre-made 3D models, no texture files, no hand-drawn UI — tracks, ships, environments, and even audio are built on the fly. The result is a game that weighs barely megabytes, runs on modest hardware, and looks unlike anything else on the track.

    The developers have also championed the game as a symbol of digital ownership — the offline version fits on a single 3.5-inch floppy disk, a deliberate statement about preserving games in an era of always-online dependence. Use the hashtag #bringfloppydisksback and join the conversation.

    100% POSITIVE — AND HALF PRICE

    Released 25 September 2026, Low Space Race has earned a perfect 100% positive rating on Steam from early players. Right now, it’s 50% off — discounted to just $4.77 — with the promotion running through 22 November.

    It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, full controller support, and 13 languages — and a free demo is available so you can test the speed before you commit.

    THE VOID IS CALLING — STRAP IN

    “Low Space Race is a return to when racing was about reflexes, not luck,” said Yuri Pourre of Super Game Builder. “Here, the best pilot wins — no exceptions.”

    The tracks are rebuilt. The leaderboards are blank. The competition is online.

    Burn bright. Stay sharp. Be the first across the line.

  • HOVERBIKES, HIT-AND-RUN, AND HIGH-OCTANE CHAOS — AIRFRAME ULTRA LAUNCHES TODAY FROM THE CREATORS OF RAIN WORLD

    HOVERBIKES, HIT-AND-RUN, AND HIGH-OCTANE CHAOS — AIRFRAME ULTRA LAUNCHES TODAY FROM THE CREATORS OF RAIN WORLD

    They made the quiet, haunting survival masterpiece Rain World — now VIDEOCULT, alongside publisher Akupara Games, has unleashed something entirely different. Airframe Ultra is available right now on PC via Steam and GOG, bringing neon-soaked, high-speed hoverbike combat racing to players everywhere.

    From Silence to Speed

    VIDEOCULT built their reputation on Rain World — a meditative, atmospheric survival adventure celebrated for its deep ecosystems and deliberate, thoughtful pacing. After years crafting a world of quiet peril, the team has pivoted 180 degrees: Airframe Ultra is pure, unapologetic adrenaline — a throwback to the ferocious, unpolished fun of classic combat racers like Jet Moto and Twisted Metal, reimagined for today.

    “We spent basically 12 years making a mopey pixel platformer,” VIDEOCULT’s team said of their shift in direction. “This time we want to do the opposite — stupid fun”. The result is a game stripped of complexity but brimming with chaos: no convoluted progression systems, no endless stats to grind — just bikes, bats, and blazing tracks.

    Race, Crash, Fight, Repeat

    Set in the rain-slicked, neon-drenched streets of Megacity West, Airframe Ultra drops players into an underground racing circuit where gutterborn pilots fight not for championship points, but for infamy. Here’s what you can expect:

    • Blazing-fast hoverbike racing — skim above the asphalt, drift through tight corners, and leave smoke and sparks in your wake.
    • Combat is half the game — swing baseball bats, toss explosives, pour gasoline on the track and light it ablaze. Get knocked off your bike? Keep fighting on foot — and if you’re quick, steal your opponent’s ride right out from under them.
    • Play your way — jump into online multiplayer or huddle up on the couch with split-screen support for up to four players. The devs added local play late in development, not just for nostalgia, but to recapture that electric energy of shouting alongside friends as you crash and burn.
    • No philosophy, no pretension — just explosions, close calls, and pure, unfiltered fun.

    Available Now — Jump In Today

    Airframe Ultra is live immediately on Steam and GOG for PC. Whether you’re teaming up with friends or diving solo into the fray, Megacity West is waiting — and the race never slows down.

    For more details, wishlist links, and future updates, head to the official Akupara Games store pages or follow the studio on social media.

  • Crash, Drive, Repeat — BeamNG.drive Hits PS5 Oct 19: The Legendary Physics Sim Comes to Console

    Crash, Drive, Repeat — BeamNG.drive Hits PS5 Oct 19: The Legendary Physics Sim Comes to Console

    For over a decade, BeamNG.drive has stood as one of PC gaming’s most extraordinary achievements — a soft-body physics marvel where every dent, crumple, and twist is calculated in real time. Now, the wait is over: BeamNG GmbH has officially brought the simulation to PlayStation 5, launching October 19, 2026 — complete with local split-screen multiplayer for up to four players.

    The Gold Standard of Vehicle Simulation Arrives on Console

    BeamNG.drive isn’t just another driving game. Its patented soft-body physics engine simulates every beam, panel, and component of a vehicle as a physical object — meaning crashes deform cars with jaw-dropping authenticity, suspension flexes exactly as it should, and surfaces from tarmac to mud fundamentally change how you drive.

    On PC, that formula has earned over 212,000 reviews and a 97% Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. Now PS5 players get the same core experience — the same realism, the same attention to detail — optimised and ready for console.

    What You Can Do — The Ultimate Driving Sandbox

    Vehicles & Environments

    • Dozens of highly customisable vehicles — from city cars to heavy trucks, every part tweakable
    • 12 vast open-world environments — jungles, deserts, highways, cities, and more
    • True-to-life damage modelling — crashes don’t just look real; they affect how your car drives

    Game Modes

    • Free Roam — go anywhere, tweak weather and gravity, experiment freely
    • Scenarios — deliveries, police chases, off-road treks, and precision challenges
    • Time Trials — refine your lines and beat your best times
    • Local Split-Screen — up to 4 players on one console. Crash together, race side-by-side, or just mess around — the chaos multiplies with friends

    PS5-Specific Features

    • DualSense support — immersive vibration and adaptive trigger resistance that shifts with road surface and vehicle damage
    • Full accessibility suite — remappable controls, adjustable difficulty, practice mode, game speed options, and 17 supported features making the experience welcoming to all
    • PS5 Pro Enhanced — optimised visuals and performance for Sony’s latest hardware

    A Note on Early Access & Platform Differences

    Just like its PC counterpart, the PS5 release is in Early Access — development is ongoing, and player feedback will shape future updates. Some features beloved on PC, including mod support and VR, are not available at launch, though BeamNG aims toward long-term feature parity where possible.

    The launch lines up with PC Version 0.40, bringing the biggest update in the game’s history — split-screen, improved graphics, new vehicles, and under-the-hood refinements across all platforms.
