Cartel Pilots Wanted turns sketchy cargo runs into a chaotic co-op flight sim OldYacht’s newly announced co-op pilot job sim mixes shady cargo runs, tropical island flights, and just enough chaos to make it stand out straight away. OldYacht has announced Cartel Pilots Wanted, a co-op pilot job sim set in a tropical archipelago controlled by a cartel, where players take on risky smuggling contracts, move questionable cargo, and gradually work their way up to better aircraft.

Cartel Pilots Wanted blends shady cargo runs, co-op flying, upgrades, and tropical island weather into a concept that already feels easy to read and potentially very watchable on Steam. #CartelPilotsWanted #IndieGame #CoOp #Simulation

PS5 With an Ultrawide Monitor? I Tested Cyberpunk 2077 on a 32:9 Screen PS5 on a Super Ultrawide Is a Compromise, Not a Proper Match If you have ever wondered whether a PS5 works on an ultrawide monitor, the honest answer is yes, but that does not mean it works well. I tested Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 using my 32:9 setup, and the result quickly showed the difference between a screen that can display the signal and a setup that actually suits it.

I tested Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 with a 32:9 ultrawide monitor to see if it really works. The short answer is yes, but the honest answer is that it does not look good enough to recommend if image quality matters to you. #PS5 #Cyberpunk2077 #Ultrawide #SuperUltrawide #GamingMonitor

Ungaland Interview: Esteban on Oogie, Primal Seeds, and Building a Colorful Prehistoric Action-Adventure A colorful prehistoric world, a strange little brute named Oogie, and a combat system built around experimentation give Ungaland its own identity before launch. UNGALAND! is one of those upcoming indie games that immediately stands out through its look, but the more interesting part may be what sits underneath that playful style. MevStudio’s action-adventure blends platforming, challenge, and a weapon-and-ability system built around Primal Seeds, all wrapped in a prehistoric world that leans into personality rather than grit for grit’s sake.

Noir Mafia Simulator: 1960s American Crime Impressions | Early Access Launch Comes Too Soon I tested Noir Mafia Simulator: 1960s American Crime ahead of its Early Access launch, and while there is something here, it feels far too undercooked in its current state. The heist concept has some promise, but clunky movement, unclear objectives, and weak combat feedback hold it back for now.

I asked Facepunch about s&box back at Gamescom, and now the answer is much clearer. Here’s what s&box actually is in 2026, and why the project feels far more defined now. #sbox #Facepunch #GarrysMod #Source2 #PCGaming
