Funnel Runners Hits Steam Early Access July 16 With 250K Wishlists

Funnel Runners, the first-person co-op survival game from Supernova Studios, launched into Steam Early Access on July 16 with a 10% launch discount and over 250,000 wishlists already banked. Up to eight players take on the roles of APEX Storm Monitoring Services crew members, trapped in an American suburb directly in the path of an F5 tornado. The goal is to scavenge the environment for van parts, including spare tires and engine oil, and escape before the storm intensifies. Tools like a radar, flashlight, and defibrillator help the team manage the chaos, while hazards such as lightning, fire, and even multiple simultaneous tornadoes keep the pressure mounting. Supernova Studios describes the game as technically complete and fully playable, but chose Early Access to let the community help shape future content. Plans include new areas, weather events, hazard types, and deeper progression systems, with a roughly one-year Early Access window expected. The game requires 20 GB of storage at minimum and targets Windows 10 or 11 on 64-bit systems.

Sony's All-Digital Push Sparks Backlash as GameStop CEO Calls Physical Games "Totally Irrelevant"

Sony's move to end physical game editions has ignited a fierce debate across the gaming community, and the fallout is impossible to ignore. Comments sections on PlayStation's own YouTube channel have been flooded with anti-Sony sentiment, with even unrelated indie game trailers, including one for a small title called Teeto, getting caught in the crossfire and downvoted simply for appearing on the PlayStation channel. The backlash has taken on a life of its own, with fans hijacking the Marvel's Wolverine trailer comments to demand physical copies rather than discuss the newly revealed Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth team-up shown in the footage.

Marathon Adds Experimental PvE Roguelite Mode, Full Rollout Coming in Season 3

Bungie has officially revealed Vault Breaker, a new PvE mode coming to its extraction shooter Marathon as part of a mid-Season 2 update arriving next week. The mode takes the form of an experimental roguelite experience set in the Cryo Archive, giving players a break from the game's standard PvP-heavy extraction loop. Bungie is framing the release as a limited trial, however, with Vault Breaker only available for two weeks before being pulled from the game.
