tinyBuild

tinyBuild is an active publisher with multiple 2026 releases across PC and consoles, including SpeedRunners 2, Probably Stolen, Happy's Humble Burger Cult, The King is Watching, and Kingmakers, while its multiplayer titles face ongoing server and delay issues, most recently the Secret Neighbor data breach and the fourth delay of SAND: Raiders of Sophie.

Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated 4d ago

tinyBuild's 2026 slate spans sequels, new IP, and ports. SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, announced in August, revives the 2016 racer that drew over 10 million players, adding 8-player online, 64-player tournaments, and a story mode, launching September 3 on PC, Steam, Microsoft Store, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Happy's Humble Burger Cult, the sequel to the 2021 horror cooking game, shipped July 16 with online co-op and voice recognition. The King is Watching, a roguelite strategy game from Hypnohead Studio, brought its Steam success to Xbox Series X|S on July 29, including the Volcano Update. Kingmakers, shown at Bilibili World 2026, is a co-op action strategy game where players use modern firearms against medieval forces.

The publisher also handles several new projects. Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Pawnshop Simulator, from Montreal's Questing Goose Studio, is a management sim set on a space station, planned for PC via Steam within 2026. SAND: Raiders of Sophie, a PvPvE extraction shooter by Hologryph and TowerHaus, launched June 10 on Steam after a server test, but faced a fourth delay announced on its original release day due to a critical server issue.

Security and stability are recurring concerns. In August, unauthorized access to Secret Neighbor deleted player data, forcing a temporary server halt across all platforms; no personal information leaked, and the attacker demanded a sales suspension rather than money. These incidents point to a publisher juggling a wide release calendar while its online games face operational setbacks.

Probably Stolen Cyberpunk Pawnshop Sim Announced With Playtest

Publisher tinyBuild and Montreal-based developer Questing Goose Studio announced Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Pawnshop Simulator on August 4, 2026. The first-person management simulation is set in the lower levels of a massive space station divided by wealth and corruption. Players run a pawnshop and recycle shop, appraising and trading items that range from worn-out gadgets to illegal cyberware and suspicious goods that may be stolen property. Using scanners and tools, players assess condition and authenticity, negotiate prices, and can repair or customize items at a workbench to increase their value. Handling prohibited goods carries risks, including forced searches that may require bribes, and wanted criminals or AI-enhanced humans taken over by self-aware chips may visit the shop. Players can report wanted criminals for a reward or trade with them, while AI humans must be shot on sight. The game includes weekly rent increases, night scavenging, crafting, and the option to contract a security company against thieves. Probably Stolen is planned for PC via Steam with a release within 2026, and Japanese display is supported. A playtest is currently open for registration on the Steam store page.

Publisher tinyBuild announced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6 that the PvPvE extraction shooter 'SAND: Raiders of Sophie' will release on June 10 for PC via Steam. Developed by Hologryph and TowerHaus, the game is set on a procedurally generated desert planet where civilization has collapsed. Players control a giant mobile base called the Trampler, which functions as transportation, storage, shelter, and weapon.

A server slam playtest began on June 6 and runs until the evening of June 7 European time; participants can join via the Steam store page and will receive a special weapon skin for the full game. The game also features a battle royale mode called Storm Dive Mode, where the safe zone shrinks and players fight to be the last survivor.
