About the Games

ARK: Survival Ascended (PS5): Experience the thrill of survival in this reimagined version of Ark: Survival Evolved, rebuilt using the powerful Unreal Engine 5. Initially launched for PC in 2023, it now graces the PlayStation 5, offering an immersive world filled with dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and perilous challenges. Players must fend off threats using both firearms and improvised weapons while constructing vital bases to stay alive.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (PS5, PS4): Dive into the explosive universe of Warhammer 40,000 with Boltgun, a game that harmoniously combines the frenetic energy of classic 90s retro shooters with the grandeur of the Warhammer universe. Arm yourself with the might of a Space Marine’s arsenal and unleash chaos through pixelated, blood-soaked explosions.

Balatro (PS5, PS4): Discover a unique blend of strategy and chance with Balatro, a roguelike deck-building game that draws inspiration from Poker and Solitaire. Craft powerful card synergies to overcome challenges and defeat the formidable Parton Blind. With a plethora of options including eight difficulty levels, fifteen decks, and a collection of 150 Jokers, the game promises a rich and varied experience. Players can also explore hidden prize hands and compete in daring bets to claim victory.
