Braid, Anniversary Edition
- Release:May 14
- Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, NS
An updated version of one of the main indie games in the industry. The original was released in 2008 on the Xbox 360 console and soon became one of the most highly rated games on the Xbox Live Arcade digital distribution service. Critics also liked the inventive platformer of game designer Jonathan Blow: Braid was praised for its deep plot with an unexpected ending, an organic combination of platforming sections and time-management puzzles, as well as for its visual style and music. The remaster boasts improved graphics, sound effects recorded from scratch, and commentary from the developer.
The Rogue Prince of Persia
- Release:May 14
- Platforms: PC
A bagel with procedural generation, where a young prince will have to save his native Persia from the Huns.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a 2D platformer where the death of the main character is a completely normal part of the gameplay. Familiar elements of the series, however, are also there: the main character, for example, quickly jumps over obstacles and knows how to push off from walls.

- Platforms: PC
