THQ Nordic celebrated its 10th anniversary today with a showcase of new games hosted by Geoff Keighley. During the stream, we got to see footage of Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, Spongebob: The Cosmic Shake, and various other games under the THQ Nordic wing.

10th Anniversary Showcase

Spongebob: The Cosmic Shake is the latest game starring the cheery sponge. In the announcement trailer, we saw Spongebob traveling through portals to different locations, and possibly new dimensions, many of them steeped in the rich lore of the Spongebob Squarepants TV series. We first got to see Spongebob in his band attire singing the iconic “Sweet Victory,” but then he gets warped to what seems to be a movie set, then prehistoric times, and even a Wild West setting.

No gameplay was shown during the showcase, so it is still a mystery as to what the game will actually entail.

Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, the remaster of the sequel to Krypto’s takeover of Earth, was the first announcement during the showcase. The announcement started off with a cinematic trailer of Krypto traveling across the world sowing chaos to the tune of AMERIKA by Rammstein. After the headbanger of a trailer, we saw actual gameplay of Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, with Krypto showcasing his jetpack, mind control powers, and his ability to cause humans to break out into a dancing fever.

THQ Nordic showed off several other games, including Superpower 3, Elex II, MX vs. ATX Legends, and Outcast 2. We also got a look at the gameplay of ROME and Jagged Alliance 3, both of which feature tactical turn-based combat.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure
Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
