Eifel Free Roam is coming to Assetto Corsa EVO later this year as part of the Early Access Program, introducing a new way to explore one of the most famous driving regions in the world.

The mode features a highly detailed recreation of the German Eifel region surrounding the Nürburgring, blending flowing country roads, dense forests, elevation changes, wildlife and iconic stretches of tarmac into a wide open driving experience. Whether players are cruising, navigating traffic or simply exploring, the road network is built to suit every type of car. A specific release date has not been announced.

The area was originally planned for Early Access in summer 2025, continuing to grow over time, eventually spanning 1,600 square kilometers. The entire region is being laser scanned and recreated using new terrain technology developed by KUNOS with the open world launching in stages alongside additional features and content.

Beyond driving, players will be able to interact with local businesses, rent vehicles and upgrade cars using aftermarket parts. Real world businesses can also take part with car rental companies, auto parts stores and other automotive related brands able to appear directly within the game world.

Updates are now available across NFL Retro Bowl 26, Retro Bowl College and the original Retro Bowl, bringing a mix of new features and gameplay tweaks.

NFL Retro Bowl 26 adds Game Center Challenges, giving players a new way to compete against friends by chasing high scores. Challenges can be launched from the save select screen or directly through the device’s Games app with new challenges rotating in over time. This feature requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.

On the presentation side, helmet facemasks now display different colors during gameplay. A new Player Rosters option has also been added to Advanced Options when starting a career, allowing players to begin a season using team rosters as they stood after the trade deadline. Advanced Options are now accessible from the head coach creation screen as well, making it possible to adjust roster rules, practice squad players and player development settings before jumping into a Quick Start or selecting players.

The original Retro Bowl receives a small but welcome customization update, as facemask colors can now be changed from the default gray through the Unlimited Version’s Team Editor. The update also includes a potential fix aimed at resolving control issues that could occur when releasing the screen to stop trucking.

Retro Bowl College mirrors the facemask customization change, allowing players using the Unlimited Version’s Team Editor to swap out the default gray facemasks for different colors.

True Skate+ is now available on Apple Arcade. Built around a physics driven control system, the game asks players to use their fingers the same way they would their feet, by flicking, dragging and pushing the board with precise inputs that translate directly to how the skateboard reacts on screen. The underlying physics engine reads swipe position, direction and strength in real time, meaning the same motion can produce completely different results depending on where and how it is applied, opening the door to an enormous range of tricks and creative lines.

Progression is centered on completing park objectives to earn keys that unlock new skateparks, starting at Underpass and branching out through original locations like Inbound, Schoolyard, Factory, Alley, Mondo Ramp, Double Infinity, Warehouse and the Valley, along with well known real world parks like MACBA, SPoT, Havasu and the Berrics. Competitive fans can jump into events from the community tab to unlock official Street League Skateboarding Championship courses from 2012, as well as World Skate and Skateboard GB layouts with live events occasionally letting players skate courses alongside real world pro competitions.

Daily Bolt challenges provide a steady stream of goals that reward currency used to unlock boards, apparel, DIY objects and boosts, while skater and setup customization runs deep with multiple characters, licensed decks and grip options, and fully adjustable wheels, trucks and baseplates. Players can also reshape environments using a wide selection of DIY objects, stacking and placing them to build custom parks or modify existing ones. Replay editing is a major focus, offering multiple camera options, detailed controls over angles and movement, and advanced timeline tools that let players fine tune every shot. For those looking to take things beyond the device, the game supports second screen play, allowing True Skate+ to be played on a TV via Apple TV or AirPlay while using an iOS device or gamepad as the controller.

EA Sports plans to release a new College Football 26 title update tomorrow once server maintenance wraps up at 6:00 AM ET. They haven’t broken down the full list of changes yet, but they did confirm the update will add the Army and Navy game day uniforms ahead of next Saturday’s matchup, along with Baylor’s chrome green helmets and Oregon’s marble helmets.

The team also hinted that a larger set of additions are on the way, though they’re keeping the details under wraps for now. Players will have to wait until tomorrow to see what else makes it into the update and whether EA decides to share patch notes or a new Campus Huddle when it goes live.

The studio shared its latest Top 25 poll, continuing the weekly in-game updates that track how teams performed during the final stretch of the regular season.

Skate Story is set to join the PlayStation Plus game catalog on December 8, as confirmed by Devolver Digital and Sony. The game will be included for those with PS Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions, giving players a chance to check it out through the service.

The game will also be released on Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam for PC on the same day. A demo has been available on Steam since October, offering the opening chapter and giving players a look at what to expect from the full nine-chapter experience.

You are a demon in the Underworld, made out of glass and pain. The Devil has given you a skateboard with a simple deal: Skate to the Moon and swallow it — and you shall be freed.

Ollie, kickflip, and grind your way through the ash and smoke of The Emptylands as you take on a seemingly impossible quest. Learn to master your weight and motion to conquer the weeping concrete. Savour the ritualistic beauty as you set your feet to pop a perfect kickflip.

Skate fast to destroy vicious demons, help a forgetful frog, and save other tortured souls on your journey from fragile beginner to hardened skater. Push through hell and discover The Devil’s greatest weakness: humility, perseverance, and a disgustingly sweet backside tailslide. All you need is your skateboard.

With Franchise Mode set to arrive on December 9, the Maximum Football developers have answered some community questions to give players a better idea of what to expect.

Coaches in Franchise Mode come with attributes like scouting, stability, player development, consistency, personality, reputation and strategy. As they level up, they can improve development skills to help reduce XP costs when upgrading certain player attributes.

While you can’t control every team, you can simulate or spectate every matchup, making it easy to follow the full season and keep tabs on rivals. Schedules are randomly generated at the start of each season, based on your league size and mix of division, conference and interconference opponents. Draft classes also scale depending on league size to help maintain balance.

Spectating offers multiple camera angles, including a press box view that gives it that broadcast-style look, though it isn’t playable. Franchise also features a morale system where player happiness is shaped by salary, playing time, team results, stats and location. Morale can impact contract talks, trade requests, and even how players interact through Max Social.

Playoff formats depend on the league setup, whether you’re using eight or 12 teams and can be viewed in the league setup menu. Franchise uses the same ticket system as Dynasty, requiring a ticket for each full season. Salary cap settings are fixed at launch, but feedback could influence that in future updates.

Injuries have been improved, allowing multi-week injuries and IR management, along with non-ball carrier injuries. Draft classes can’t be manually edited in Franchise, but if your Franchise is linked to a Dynasty, any edits made to seniors there will carry over.

UFL is available now on PC through Early Access, accessible via the game’s website and official UFL Launcher.

After launching on consoles nearly a year ago, the title has drawn in more than 5 million players worldwide, supported by consistent monthly updates and an expanding lineup of ambassadors, including Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde and Barcelona’s Raphinha. Bringing UFL to PC marks a major milestone for the studio, expanding its reach and answering one of the community’s most common requests.

During Early Access, players on PC will have access to the same core features found on consoles, including Ranked Competitive Mode, Showdown Mode, Playoffs Mode and the Seasonal Team Pass. Cross-play is also available, letting PC and console players compete against one another seamlessly. All progress made during this phase will carry over once the full version launches.

To get started, players can choose from four Early Access bundles that come with in-game currency, exclusive player cards featuring Raphinha, Valverde, Del Piero and Beckenbauer, along with special customization options like the Girofaro Kit. The release date for the full free-to-play version will be shared at a later time.
