Last week, we reported the team at Night Crew Games have been working on a Customizable Card Game (CCG) which is officially licensed by the Cyberpunk franchise. In it, you and your friends form a crew to take on Night City. Will the cards you and your friends deal save you or will one bad hand earn you a drink being named about you at the Afterlife bar? You’ll need to pledge for the game to find out.

So how do you play the game, and what’s an example of a scenario you would get to play? Well, the game’s developers held a Kickstarter launch day stream and you can watch it below:

If you’re interested in checking out the game’s Kickstarter you can check it out right here. The game is already fully funded and is currently working its way through several stretch goals. To add some extra options for customers, several new Al La Carte pledge tiers have just been added earlier today.

We’re still very excited about this game and you can be sure there will be more of us talking about it during its Kickstarter run, which will be going for 21 more days!

When the virtual reality cyberpunk bartender simulation Project Mix released a demo on Steam earlier this year it tremendously impressed me. However, I’m a standalone VR enthusiast these days and without a high end gaming PC and PCVR headset I knew I would need to wait until the game ported it to a standalone VR platform such as the Quest or Vision Pro.

Well, the developer did promise a Quest port was in the works and earlier today the demo released. Here’s a quick graphics comparison for all of you!

The demo can be downloaded right now on the Quest Store, but you may need to manually search for Project Mix Demo to find it.

Project Mix is in development for PCVR (Steam) and Meta Quest 3/3S.

Cyberpunk Legends Card Game Kickstarter Begins September 26, 2025

If you’re like me and have been on a Cyberpunk rush for the past year following the incredible success of the revolutionary 2.0 update for Cyberpunk 2077, and the phenomenal tabletop RPG Cyberpunk RED (which takes place in the same universe, just thirty years earlier) you’re wondering where you can find more Cyberpunk? Well, I’ve got very good news for you!

The guys at Night Crew Games have announced Cyberpunk Legends, a customizable tabletop card game which takes place in the Cyberpunk universe! This is an officially supported product by Cyberpunk’s publisher R. Talsorian Games and the initial scenarios will take place in the year 2012. That means many of the game’s famous characters including Morgan Blackhand are still earning their legendary status in well in their prime.

The game works closer to Cards Against Humanity instead of Magic: The Gathering, in that the cards you purchase are not totally random, and you can expect to receive the exact cards you ordered included in the base set or expansion. To play, a scenario is brought up, and it is up to you and your fellow players to play the correct cards to best overcome the obstacle in front of you. New expansions with new scenarios are expected to get released regularly, but a few will be available at launch and during the Kickstarter period.

If you’re interested in looking into the Kickstarter you can find it right here! The base game, and several initial expansions are currently up for grabs, and the company making the game has personally confirmed they plan to ship all rewards at the same time. As of the time of writing they have already met their minimum goal and have recently surpassed $700,000 in sales! The crowdfunding can be expected to continue for several more days, so check it out! We will be sure to report on more events with this product as time goes on so stay tuned!

Apple Releases OS 26 September 15, 2025

Apple has just released an enormous update for practically every device they’ve made within the past five years! OS 26 (named after 2026), is now being offered for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Mac, and Vision Pro, and features the brand-new Liquid Glass interface first shown during this Summer’s WWDC event.

This is no small update, and depending on your device, could require several GB of free storage before it will begin the install. Just be aware, this update will not force the installation of the new Apple Intelligence models (on supported hardware), so if you have not enabled AI yet, you will need to do so manually, and then wait for the AI models to download while your device is charging while connected over Wi-Fi. It will however force the enabling of FileVault on supported Mac computers, so please make the decision to turn it off if you do not wish to use it.

The biggest improvements among the major releases, other than the new Liquid Glass design, seems to be coming to the Vision Pro with VisionOS 26. The new improvements to the Persona feature are night and day to the previous version, and the Vision Pro will ask you to rescan yourself after a completed update. We absolutely encourage you to do that rescan! They are also offering a whole bunch of new Virtual Backgrounds for Persona conversations either over FaceTime or third-party video conference programs like Microsoft Teams, which is another feature Persona badly needed.

iPad users will be happy to discover they can now have multiple application windows (they are able to resize) running at the same time on their iPad screen with iPadOS 26. iPad owners who use trackpad equipped keyboards will be able to take full advantage of the trackpad for window adjustment and realignment. This has the potential to turn the high-end iPad into a much more capable device, nearly on par with a MacBook.
