Shipping Store Simulator 2037 Release Date Trailer

1 week ago

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Moments ago at the Convergence Showcase, publisher SayGames and developer PLAYSTROM overnight delivered the release date for Shipping Store Simulator 2037, the management sim with robotic employees, coming to PC via Steam on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026.

This release marks the first time SayGames has launched a PC-first experience, following the multiplatform success of My Little Universe and more than eight billion downloads across its portfolio.

Opening up Rocket Post for package pickup and delivery was a risky endeavor, especially with QuickBox dominating deliveries in the city of Cranelock. Starting with just a small shop and a few bucks, receive incoming deliveries, label packages, and hand them to customers for pickup. It can all seem like too much…thankfully it’s the year 2037, and robots help!

Keep Rocket Post running smoothly by assigning droids to handle key tasks, while also balancing the budget and finding new opportunities to expand. Help maintain the android staff, as they sometimes need repairs, slip on spills in the store, or catch on fire. Treat them well, purchase supplies as necessary, and enjoy the satisfaction of turning Rocket Post into a well-oiled logistics machine.

As Rocket Post expands, Cranelock’s VIPs will take notice of its success, and want to do business. Let the automatons hold down the fort while performing “white glove” deliveries via van, drone, and other methods to expand into Cranelock’s premier shipping solution.

“Shipping Store Simulator 2037 finds that sweet spot between something that’s cozy and relaxing to play while providing the fun that comes from building up your business,” said Ivan Bogdanchuk, CEO and Founder, PLAYSTROM. “If you like to min-max everything possible, or just enjoy unwinding with meaningful progress in a low-stakes environment, our game has something for all fans of the genre.”

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 releases on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026 on Steam for PC. The game will support English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language text. Play the demo today on Steam.

Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have released a new developer diary video for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, the survival-horror action game coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on Oct. 8, 2026. Join series legend Doug Bradley (voice of Pinhead) and the development team for a new deep dive on the game, this time learning more about the disturbing enemies and themes you’ll face on your journey and how the creation of this content affected the development team.

Horror fans will of course be familiar with the Cenobites, the infamous beings of extraordinary power from the Hellraiser films led by Pinhead. Demons to some, angels to others, the Cenobites don’t abide by easy rules of morality, instead driven to push the extreme boundaries of pain and pleasure. But while the Cenobites play a pivotal role in the story of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, players will have to battle against two other key factions.

The first is the Scarlet Church, a cult led by a charismatic figure named Marlowe. The Church hopes to establish contact with the Cenobites and seeks to use the mysterious Genesis Configuration puzzle box to create a debauched paradise for themselves.

The other group is the Unworthy, once-human wretches who sought after the ultimate experiences of sensation but were denied by Leviathan, ruler of the otherworldly Labyrinth. These rejects of Hell, monsters who think and behave differently from the cultists of the Church, are drawn to the Genesis Configuration as a potential path to redemption.

Both the Scarlet Church and the Unworthy will offer completely different combat experiences, each with their own challenges to overcome. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival gives players multiple ways to fight back, including the infernal powers of the Genesis Configuration, an arsenal of earthly weapons, and a grisly dismemberment system. But beware – the Labyrinth has its own unsettling traps and challenges to survive.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is available to pre-order now on consoles at major retailers. The Standard and Deluxe editions will be available to pre-order digitally soon. Fans can also pre-order one of two special Collector’s Editions of the game NOW featuring a variety of exclusive, licensed collectibles at hellraiser.bossteamgames.com. Collector’s Edition pre-orders will unlock all Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonus content, including the Labyrinth Pistol Skin and Martyr Sawblade Skin.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is coming to Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 8. For more info, visit www.HellraiserGame.com, and stay hooked to the latest news and updates on X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

NACON and developer ACE Team are thrilled to announce the release of their new co-op horror game, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The game is available now on PC, PlayStation™5, and Xbox Series X|S with full crossplay and Xbox Play Anywhere support.

Assemble a squad of explorers during the Conquistador era and venture into an uncharted continent. Search for a legendary city rumored to hold unimaginable riches, but beware: unnamable, hostile creatures and unexplained phenomena await. The game plunges players into an online co-op adventure for up to four explorers, loosely inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s short story The Mound.

An Immersive Journey into Unspeakable Horror

In The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, players form an expedition of up to four members to brave the depths of a hostile jungle in search of priceless treasures. Before setting out, the team gathers to select a contract, defining their expedition’s objectives. They then venture out to gather wealth and resources to bring back. In theory, it sounds simple—but the jungle holds terrifying surprises that can derail any expedition…

When Reality Shatters…

While the jungle is crawling with hostile creatures, the true enemy isn’t always the one you can see. In The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, adventurers must fight their own minds. Sanity deteriorates with every expedition, warping players’ perception of reality. Teams will face visual and auditory hallucinations that directly impact gameplay and coordination. Every expedition can quickly turn into a living nightmare. In this jungle, death is not the end: fallen adventurers can become corrupted, turning against their own brothers-in-arms.

Co-op at the Heart of the Horror

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu emphasizes communication through its proximity voice chat system. To face the jungle’s dangers, staying close, remaining stealthy, and conserving resources are key to completing contracts and making it back alive.

Combining modern minimalist design with top-tier ergonomic engineering, XPG introduces two distinct seating solutions tailored to different user preferences, making pure comfort second nature.

NIMBUS PLUS: Beyond Breathable – Crafting a Luxurious, Form-Fitting Seating Experience

To provide personalized ergonomic support, the NIMBUS PLUS features:

Dual-Axis Ergonomic Headrest: Adjustable in both height and tilt to precisely support the head and neck, complete with an embroidered XPG logo.
Adaptive Dynamic Lumbar Support: Height-adjustable lumbar support automatically follows the user’s posture with responsive tilt and elastic feedback, while a rear locking mechanism provides additional lower back stability when desired.
Sliding Seat Depth Adjustment: The seat cushion slides forward and backward to accommodate different leg lengths, improving thigh support and distributing pressure more evenly.
4D Adjustable Armrests: Height, depth, width, and pivot adjustments ensure optimal positioning for various desk setups and gaming styles.
