Opera GX teams up with TikTok for the #GamingForAll challenge feat. BlindWarriorSven, challenging gamers to defy their limitations
Opera GX and TikTok are teaming up. They announced the international #GamingForAll Challenge on TikTok to benefit AbleGamers, a non-profit organization dedicated to using gaming to foster inclusive communities and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. Opera GX, the browser for gamers, is on a mission to enable all users to pursue their passion for gaming, no matter what their goals or abilities. That’s why it’s partnering with visually-impaired Street Fighter champion BlindWarriorSven to inspire every gamer to challenge themselves to overcome their personal obstacles – no matter what they are.
At the center of the campaign is Sven van de Wege, a blind professional gamer who lost his vision to cancer when he was just 6 years old. Before losing his vision, video games had been a central part of Sven’s life, and he was devastated to feel incapable of playing when he returned home from the hospital. But a few months later, listening to Street Fighter, Sven discovered that he could hear moves and kicks, punches and jumping, and started playing again. With grit and dedication Sven was able to teach himself to play Street Fighter by relying solely on his hearing and memory; through an undying determination, he overcame his challenges.
Sven inspired Opera to launch the Opera GX #GamingForAll Challenge – a unique TikTok challenge in which the brand dares gamers to test themselves by playing their favorite game without the use of their sight, just like Sven. For every upload on the platform, the brand will make a donation of $0.5 US dollars to AbleGamers.*
To get the word out about the activation, which was created by Madrid-based ad agency Officer & Gentleman, the brand is launching a promotional video featuring BlindWarriorSven. They tell Sven’s unique story and show how he challenged himself to not only play again, but to become the best!
“This collaboration between Sven, Opera GX, TikTok, and AbleGamers allows us to encourage gamers to overcome their personal obstacles, while having fun, challenging themselves, and raising money for charity. Sven is an inspiration to us all,” said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director of Opera GX.
The challenge, which launched today, will be amplified with leading eSports media platform theScore Esports, by a live event hosted on October 2nd in Amsterdam in the Netherlands where participants will get to meet Sven in person and challenge him in Street Fighter V. The stream will take place at 6 PM CEST on theScore Esports’ TikTok channel.
“I’m excited to be helping people face their own fears but also to have some new opponents in Street Fighter. Game on – see you in Amsterdam!” said Sven Van de Wege.

Amusnet Adds Wet and Wild Fun to Crash Gaming with Hippo Splash
Amusnet is poised to elevate the thrill in the crash game segment with the imminent launch of Hippo Splash – a lively, quick-paced game that merges fun narratives with exhilarating gameplay and a verifiably fair algorithm.
At the core of Hippo Splash is a memorable image: a playful hippo gingerly balancing on a log in the center of a lake. Every action heightens the suspense, every moment raises the stakes… until a single mistake causes the hippo to plunge into the water. That’s the moment players anticipate – and the secret to transforming clever timing into substantial victories.
Created with player enthusiasm as a priority, Hippo Splash allows gamers complete control over their tactics. They have the option to cash out early at 50% for a more secure strategy or remain in the game longer to pursue higher multipliers before the eventual drop. Each round is fast, easy to grasp, and filled with tension, allowing for immediate participation while maintaining high adrenaline.
With its colorful theme, engaging mechanics, and modern crash gameplay, Hippo Splash is poised to appeal to both seasoned crash game fans and newcomers looking for something fun, fast, and rewarding.

155.io
155.io Breaks the Mold Again, Introducing the CCTV Game Genre via Rush Hour
155.io, the live content studio transforming real-world games, has launched CCTV.Game, an innovative genre created entirely from live CCTV footage collected worldwide. The category debuts with its inaugural title, Rush Hour. The live game operates around the clock to convert real-life traffic into immediate viewing and wagering entertainment.
The CCTV Game signifies a new path for 155.io, broadening its chaos-oriented philosophy into completely live, real-world settings. Created using numerous live CCTV feeds from around the globe, the game transforms everyday activities into quick, engaging, and immediately bettable entertainment.
Running nonstop, Rush Hour enables players to wager on straightforward, distinct results during rounds lasting under a minute – such as the number of cars that cross a junction or the quantity that turns left or right within a specified timeframe. Each round is dynamic, spontaneous, and influenced by the organic rhythms of the world, instead of standard RNG methods.
Rush Hour’s live recordings feature diverse locations such as Sydney, Swindon, Arizona, and Taipei, as well as landmarks like Patong Beach in Thailand and Abbey Road in London. From everyday crossroads to landmark locations, the entire world transforms into the game board. Crafted for mobile devices, Rush Hour is immediately comprehensible and genuinely engaging, providing a much-needed option to conventional casino formats. CCTV Game embodies 155.io’s fundamental philosophy: chaotic reality, straightforward games, and entertainment designed primarily for mobile.
The launch enhances 155.io’s attraction to the upcoming player generation, merging live-stream culture with instant betting features.
CCTV Game and Rush Hour can now be accessed via Hub88 or through direct integration.
Sam Jones, Founder & CEO of 155.io, commented: “Rush Hour is the first expression of our CCTV Game genre – think Big Brother blended with Polymarket. It’s completely live, and the world is now our studio. CCTV.game takes real-world chaos and turns it into something instantly playable and genuinely entertaining – this is content the next generation will queue up to try.”
He added: “Once you realise the entire world can be a live game feed, there are no boundaries. Live traffic content is just the start – from live wildlife to iconic sporting locations – we’re only just setting off on our journey of what real-world chaos entertainment can be.”

Chicken X & Friends
Million Games Launches Chicken X & Friends Today Following Strong ICE Reception
Million Games announces today the official launch of Chicken X & Friends, its real-time multiplayer crash game and the highly anticipated sequel to the award-nominated hit Chicken X.
Following a successful showcase at ICE 2026, where the game attracted strong interest and positive feedback from operators, partners, and industry professionals, Chicken X & Friends is now live and available to play.
Set across a chaotic multi-lane highway, Chicken X & Friends brings Jack Chicken back into action—this time in a shared, unlimited multiplayer environment. Unlike traditional crash games, gameplay never pauses. There are no waiting rounds or session start times. Players can jump in instantly and start playing at any moment.
Multiplayer Crash Gameplay, Evolved
Chicken X & Friends introduces unlimited, real-time multiplayer gameplay to the crash genre. Players are visible live on screen as they navigate traffic lanes, build multipliers, and decide when to cash out before the crash.
“This launch marks an important step for us,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “Chicken X & Friends builds on everything players loved about the original, but adds a social layer that fundamentally changes how crash games feel. Seeing other players make decisions in real time adds tension, strategy, and excitement—and that was very clear from the feedback we received at ICE.”
Player Choice, Progression, and Personalisation
Gameplay takes place across multiple traffic lanes, each offering a distinct risk-and-reward profile. Slower lanes provide steadier multiplier growth with lighter traffic, while faster lanes increase volatility with denser traffic and quicker multiplier escalation.
Players actively choose how and where to play—staying safe, pushing into danger, or switching lanes as conditions change. Safe zones offer a brief pause from traffic, but staying too long triggers an automatic cash-out, ensuring the pace remains high and the pressure stays on.
As players progress, they unlock levels and cosmetic customisations, including different skins and hats for Jack Chicken. These visual rewards allow players to stand out on the road and showcase their experience and performance without affecting gameplay balance.
Movement is fast and intuitive, controlled through taps or directional inputs, allowing players to react instantly as traffic patterns evolve.
Social, Competitive, and Always On
In public playgrounds, up to ten players appear live on screen. Each player is represented by Jack Chicken, while competitors appear as pigeons, creating instant visual awareness of who is still in the race. The leading player is highlighted with a unique “king” skin and a visible live multiplier.
Live leaderboards track top performances over the past hour and 24 hours, encouraging repeat play and competition. Players can also choose to play solo or create private rooms with friends, offering flexibility without compromising the core gameplay experience.
Now Live and Available
Chicken X & Friends is launching today and can be played now on the Million Games website. Operators and partners interested in integrating the game or learning more about distribution opportunities are encouraged to get in touch with the Million Games team.
“This game represents something genuinely new for our industry,” added Thomas Nimstad. “We’re pushing beyond familiar formats to create experiences that players haven’t seen before. Unlimited gameplay, visible multiplayer tension, and shared decision-making open up a new direction for crash games—and that’s exactly the kind of innovation we want Million Games to be known for.”
