New releases Week 41, 2026
A free co-op shooter demo, a cheap survival sandbox, a racer, a big puzzle adventure, and a word duel for the week of 4–10 October.
October 2026 edition
This week's new releases make room for a free co-op shooter demo, a low-cost survival sandbox, a full-throttle racer, a slow-burn puzzle adventure and a keyboard duel for the sofa. There is something here for a quick try with friends as well as a longer solo session.
Deadzone Rogue 2 Demo

- Demo opened: 9 October 2026
- Platform: PlayStation
- Genres: FPS, Roguelite
- Play style: Solo or co-op
- Price: Free demo
- Launcher: PlayStation
- Publisher: Prophecy Games, Inc.
A free, run-based shooter test drive for a squad that wants build tinkering as much as raw aim.
The demo puts you in the role of Talon 13-10 on a fallen Earth, with a campaign that can be played alone or with up to three players. Its loop is built around repeated runs, permanent progress and combining augments, elemental weapons, perks and items into a new build each time. That makes it the low-commitment pick here: useful for trying a co-op FPS together before deciding whether the full game is the right fit.

FussyCraft Survival: Sandbox

A budget co-op sandbox for players who like every mined resource and wall they build to pull their next survival plan together.
FussyCraft starts with a peasant trying to survive a king's regular levies, then turns that pressure into a 2D loop of mining, building, cooking, combat and resource management. Tools, safe shelter, spells and perks all matter because the next collection day and the night's creatures do not wait. It has a concrete finish line—reach the castle and challenge the king—while letting the world continue after that for players who would rather keep building than close the book.

Gear.Club Unlimited 3

A racer for players who want to tune the car, chase the line and still have room for a little garage-showoff energy.
Gear.Club Unlimited 3 sends its story mode through the roads of the French Mediterranean coast and Japan, adding Japanese car culture to the series' earlier European stops. The official details list 40 licensed cars, 50 tracks, highway races, mechanical and bodywork customisation, and a garage to shape around your collection. It is a good fit when a straightforward race is not enough on its own and you want the setup choices to follow you between events.

Order of the Sinking Star

A huge puzzle adventure for the player who would rather follow curiosity than be marched from one objective marker to the next.
Order of the Sinking Star spreads more than 1,000 hand-crafted puzzles across four worlds with their own mechanics, characters and stories. The important bit is the pace: the game explicitly lets you roam, revisit a stubborn challenge and return when another discovery changes what you notice. That makes it a strong solo choice for a long evening of note-taking and aha moments, not a game for squeezing into a ten-minute gap.

Words of Power: Logos

A neon word game for anyone who wants a local-versus round to be decided by quick thinking rather than another controller duel.
Words of Power: Logos turns typing into the attack button: its campaign moves from planet to planet toward the Hordes of Lexicon, with boss fights along the way. For two players, the local duel shares one keyboard and has each person take turns answering until someone runs out of words. That gives it a clear place in the list: a small, social competitive game with a simple setup and a very different skill test from the usual arcade match.
