THE SPECTRUM Retro Games Ltd is launching The Spectrum, a modern reimagining of the iconic ZX Spectrum, one of the most influential home computers of the 1980s. The ZX Spectrum played a pivotal role in the rise of the UK gaming scene and inspired a generation of developers, with its distinctive design and groundbreaking games.
The significance of this release lies in its nostalgic appeal, aiming to capture both veteran gamers who grew up with the Spectrum and a new audience curious about retro gaming. The modern version is expected to bring updated hardware, HDMI support, and preloaded classic games, tapping into the ongoing trend of retro hardware revivals.

PATH OF EXILE 2
Path of Exile (PoE) has been a massive success since launching in 2013, standing out as one of the top free-to-play action RPGs, attracting millions of players with its deep customization and challenging gameplay. Developed by Grinding Gear Games, PoE’s unique league system and constant updates have helped it maintain a loyal fanbase, even against the likes of Diablo.
The upcoming early access release of Path of Exile 2 is highly anticipated. It promises new classes, a revamped combat system, and a fresh six-act campaign, plus it will run alongside the original PoE, featuring cross-play and progression.
