Hyperkin, a global leader in video game hardware, announced today that their highly-anticipated premium controller, The Competitor is now open for pre-order.
Expected to begin shipping in October 29, 2025, The Competitor ushers in a new era of premium controllers for Hyperkin, officially licensed for Xbox, while also compatible with PC, and ideal for streaming Gamepass™ with compatible smart devices.
First unveiled to great excitement in January 2025, The Competitor forges a new path, bringing the popular symmetrical Thumbstick design to Xbox gamers in addition to a host of advanced features, designed to elevate the gaming experience.
With a segmented traditional D-Pad design providing precision input, and Action Buttons cushioned via a durable membrane, every press is pleasure, but it’s in the Thumbsticks where The Competitor truly shines. Twin Hall-Effect Thumbsticks provide buttery smooth analog movement, banishing stick-drift forever. Gamers can choose between Dome and Concave Thumbstick caps depending on personal preference. Incasing the Thumbsticks are the Metal Glide Rings and Anti-Friction Gates adding a premium feel and superior durability for when gamers compete to win.
Hyperkin hasn’t forgotten about the Trigger design either, which are fitted with Hall-Effect modules for unrivaled feel and reliability.
Oozing comfort and quiet confidence, The Competitor is fashioned with a Laser Textured Grip, resisting sweat during intense gaming sessions. The Twin Programmable Back Buttons, with additional locking feature, add extra controls to the gamers’ fingertips, providing more options and more ways to play.
Ultra-low-latency response provides pin-point accuracy and timely feedback, crucial for competitive play. The integrated Mic-Mute and 3.5mm headset jack, allows gamers to communicate with teammates and opponents alike in crystal-clear audio.
Slade Dude Suzuki, Lead Product Developer for Hyperkin commented on the pre-order announcement for The Competitor, “Today marks an important milestone for Hyperkin, as we go live with pre-orders for what may be our most anticipated product launch of the year. Since announcing The Competitor in January, it’s evident how much enthusiasm gamers have for a premium controller that breaks the norm and delivers true innovation at a highly competitive price point. With a state-of-the art feature set, and a laser focus on performance, we believe The Competitor elevates above the competition. We can’t wait to bring The Competitor to gamers around the world in a few short weeks.”
Available for pre-order today, The Competitor will retail for an MSRP of $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99 and be available in four distinct colors: White and Black (available in NA/UK/EU/AU), with Blue and Gold in UK/EU/AU (NA release TBD).
Today, the three-person, New Mexico-based dev team, Dark Machine Games, alongside indie horror publisher, DreadXP, has launched the first major content update for speed climbing horror roguelite, White Knuckle. The Abyss Update, available now, adds an entirely new region along with a variety of other new content.
vAfter navigating Silos, Pipeworks, and Habitation, players will enter The Abyss, featuring three distinct levels that harbor a number of new denizens, some friendly and many others deadly, including The Face, a new form of The Mass to pursue the Climber. New to the update are Artifact Items— extremely powerful objects that replace gaining a new Perk in The Abyss, each of which can change the way you play. To offer a shorter, albeit more dangerous route to the top, unlockable shortcuts will be added for Silos and Pipeworks. Other additions include new levels in Silos and Pipeworks, new Perks, new secrets, and more.
In White Knuckle, you are a lone climber, and your only goal is to escape the decaying depths of Substructure 17 with your life. To conquer the vertical labyrinth, you must carefully manage hand stamina, limited inventory space, and scarce supplies, all while avoiding or outrunning the dangerous entities that call the compound home. As you scale the crumbling structure, you’ll gain perks that can increase stats like stamina regeneration, jump distance, and speed. Using tools like pitons, rebar, and rope will aid your ascent, but be mindful of your greed, as too many items will weigh you down, making it much harder to climb, and one wrong move will send you plummeting to become one with The Mass.
The Abyss Update New Features:
The Abyss: An all-new region with 3 contained levels.
Five extremely powerful Artifact Items, which replace receiving a new Perk in the Abyss, each capable of changing how you play.
Shortcut Regions for Silos and Pipeworks: After unlocking, skip sections of the game and climb through far shorter, more dangerous areas, at a cost.

C4SH will be the first of two new Vault Hunters being added to Borderlands 4 as part of paid DLC! Revealed during the Borderlands 4 panel at Tokyo Game Show 2025, C4SH is an all-new Vault Hunter included in the first Story Pack*, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, which is planned to launch in Q1 2026 for Borderlands 4.
A former casino dealer bot, C4SH is now a drifter who chases the probability-breaking highs of cursed eldritch artifacts. As luck would have it, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned is full of cosmic horrors that harbor uncanny curios, some of which can surely bend the odds in C4SH’s favor.
Like the other Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4, C4SH has three unique Action Skills to choose from, but C4SH’s Action Skills are distinctly unpredictable, as they all involve an element of chance. We’ll be revealing the full details of his Action Skills later on, but C4SH’s risk-reward playstyle can lead to good fortunes like buffing himself and allies, dealing devastating damage, sapping the strength from foes, and more.
Here are the ways you can add C4SH to your roster of playable Vault Hunters as soon as he’s available:
Own Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition
Own the Vault Hunter Pack (included in Super Deluxe Edition)
Own Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned (included in Vault Hunter Pack)
All players can look forward to constant free Updates that will introduce Seasonal Mini-Events, Invincible Bosses, and more. There are also the paid Bounty Packs** including new bite-sized-yet-flavorful narrative content, new gear to earn, and cosmetics to collect—plus a Vault Card that lets you unlock additional loot through gameplay. Four Bounty Packs are included in the Bounty Pack Bundle that comes with the Deluxe Edition and Super Deluxe Edition of Borderlands 4.
Borderlands 4 is now available worldwide for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. For the latest information on Borderlands 4, visit www.borderlands.2k.com, and follow the game across YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok.
