Devolver Digital is contemplating a return to private ownership as NVIDIA expands GeForce NOW and new games make their debut.
It seems that Devolver Digital, the beloved indie game publisher known for its eclectic portfolio, is rethinking its 2021 decision to go public. As reported by GamingOnLinux, the company is considering going private once more, indicating a potential shift in strategy after realizing that being a publicly traded company may not align with its indie-focused identity. The ramifications for the company could be significant, affecting its operational flexibility and how it engages with both developers and consumers.
New Developments in Cloud Gaming
NVIDIA continues to expand its cloud gaming service, GeForce NOW, with 26 more games being added throughout August 2026. GamingOnLinux notes this consistent expansion as a sign of NVIDIA’s commitment to solidifying its position in the competitive cloud gaming market. As the service grows, it will be interesting to see how it competes against other major players like Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming and Sony’s PlayStation Now.
Game Releases and Updates
The ever-popular Return to Castle Wolfenstein’s mod, RealRTCW, has expanded its Cursed Sands DLC to include maps from the PlayStation 2 version. According to GamingOnLinux, this move adds more content to the already expansive mod, potentially drawing in both new players and those nostalgic for the classic version.
In other release news, “Over the Hill,” the laid-back off-roader from the developers of “Art of Rally,” has been slated for an October release. This title promises to be a more relaxed counterpart to the intense “SnowRunner,” featuring environments designed for leisurely exploration rather than high-stakes driving challenges. As Rock Paper Shotgun notes, the game’s demo at Steam Next Fest generated some interest by promising a countryside-roaming experience far removed from the usual rigors of off-roading sims.
Mix of Genres in New PC Games
This week’s PC game releases offer a variety of genres from horror to city simulation. Rock Paper Shotgun highlights an eclectic mix that includes a nod to “GoldenEye,” janky arcade-style sports games, and ballpoint-based city builders. While horror titles often dominate the limelight, the presence of lighter games aims to balance out the thematic heaviness characteristic of recent releases.
Finally, for puzzle enthusiasts, “Pight” offers a redstone-inspired conundrum that might appeal to fans of Minecraft’s mechanical intricacies. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, “Pight” allows players to engage in complex problem-solving with pistons and portals, drawing heavily from the mechanics that made Minecraft’s automation systems both puzzling and addictive.
