One day we'll send out a press release including all the weird "corrections" proposed by Outlook and Word. Also, hieratite is a mineral apparently? Not exactly what we were going for.

Did you also get a Switch 2 or 2 this week?

Only a few hours left until non-E3 starts properly. Hope everyone will have a new game they're really looking forward to once the weekend is over! 🤩

Currently preparing for next week which is going to be the gaming equivalent of having Champions League Finals and the Nations League Final in the same week...Which is exactly what's going to happen here in Munich soon btw. Awesome but will we make it out alive? 😭 😱

If your press release is 4-5 pages even without boiler plates, it's not a press release, it's a short story. 😭

Unless you really HATE SAND, you should try joining the Dune: Awakening Beta this weekend.

Did you also enjoy playing the Arc Raiders tech test over the weekend? Our boss says it's the best game he's played in years.

GTA 6 release date announcement...this means we can go home early since everyone else will be busy analyzing the new date, right?

Ironically, we make less strange mistakes in English.

Als PR-ler sind wir wahre Meister der deutschen Sprache. Erkenntnisse der Woche: "Der beleibte Hitman, der sich auf die Schuhe seiner Opfer macht", fünf verschiedene Möglichkeiten, das Wort "Mitglieder" falsch zu schreiben und Word-Korrekturvorschläge sind eher Hindernis als Hilfe.

Es gab soooo viele unvergessliche Momente auf der #ggbavaria 2025 - einige davon könnt ihr jetzt in unserer Bildergalerie wiederentdecken: photos.app.goo.gl/WnRqFSfeEBuZ...

Last week we invited some friends to visit beautiful Copenhagen and rob some banks.

The first hands-on for the new heist shooter Den of Wolves was a big success and it seems everyone enjoyed their time in Midway City 🤖

This week was a major release week for us with Atomfall, Khazan, Karma and Hitman World of Assassination on PSVR2. Special award for Basti for constantly running out of keys! 🏆Plus, today starts the Munich gaming event GG Bavaria.

Seven packages of the most English press kits ever just arrived at our office. We're not allowed to reveal what they contain yet, but there will be something you will NOT have seen coming. What are the most unique press kit items YOU ever received?

Our internal highlight of the last few days was the Atomfall preview event in London. Not only did Basti have a great time in Britain, looks like our journalists also had a great time in the game ! :)

This week in games (and in our team) was so busy that we've already forgotten what we did on Monday. But we DID announce the Dune: Awakening release date yesterday, so we're looking forward to a lot of sand and stabbing with gom jabbars! 🏖️🗡️

When you're fighting with your colleagues who is allowed to pitch their game first because you have three preview events on the same day 😭

Also, we're happy about the great reception of MindsEye 🤖 at State of Play and also announced that the Bavarian games showcase GG Bavaria is going to come to Munich Mar 28-30. See you there!
