Opera GX launches new ‘RGX Mode’, a free video and image sharpening technology that enhances the browsing experience
n keeping with several groundbreaking graphic advancements made by leading GPU manufacturers, Opera GX, the browser for gamers, is introducing a technology that could potentially rival that of real-time ray tracing, codenamed RGX.
Unlike GPU manufacturers, Opera GX is offering RGX at a market-first price point — free of charge — and consumes little to no additional resources, which means it doesn’t require any upgrade in setup.
Technically speaking, RGX is a content enhancing technology that applies to video and image elements on webpages. Traditionally, filters of this caliber require GPU acceleration, whereas in Opera GX, the technology is built right into the browser. Non-technically speaking, your new video and image quality will knock your socks down.
“Gamers familiar with ray tracing technology or lucky enough to own a RTX series graphics card will immediately see the value of RGX,” said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director at Opera GX. “RGX Mode shows just how far this type of technology has come.”
Anyone browsing the web with RGX enabled will immediately make their favorite content—which, let’s be honest, is already *pretty* good—even better.
“That’s the beauty of RGX,” concludes Kocemba. “You don’t need a gigabit connection or YouTube Premium to enjoy it – you can just view things in HD right in your browser. It’s so seamlessly integrated you might not even notice it’s there, but your eyes certainly will.

18Peaches’ Squid Gold X2 plunges players into a mystical treasure hunt
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Squid Gold X2 by 18Peaches invites players to dive deep into a world of mystery, magic and forgotten riches. Set within a sacred castle filled with ancient relics and hidden chambers, every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown. The legendary golden squid is said to guard untold fortunes, and only the bravest adventurers will uncover its secrets.
The journey plays out across a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines, where expanding reels can unlock up to 100 paylines for even greater rewards.
With enchanting artifacts, secret rooms, and the electrifying Squid 500 feature, no spin ever feels ordinary. Add in Free Spins, Wild expansions and instant bonus access via Buy Bonus, and Squid Gold X2 becomes a pulse-raising treasure hunt built for thrill-seekers.
“With Squid Gold X2, our goal was to create a journey where every spin feels like a step closer to unlocking a forgotten legend,” says 18Peaches Chief Strategy Officer Arsen Tadevosyan. “We designed mechanics like Squid 500 and the X2 expanding reels to build momentum, each trigger feels like a gate opening, both visually and emotionally. It’s that feeling of chasing something mythical, where every feature builds anticipation and drives you deeper into the experience.”
“When reels expand, paylines double, and the chamber glows with energy, players feel the story unfolding through mechanics. That flow, the rise in tension, the surge of possibility, is what makes Squid Gold X2 such a captivating adventure.”
As with all 18Peaches’ releases, Squid Gold X2
is bursting with features that keep every moment alive. The highlight is the legendary Squid 500 mechanic.
Whenever a Wild lands and expands, it triggers the sacred Golden Gate, unlocking hidden energy within the castle walls. As the gate opens, the power of the golden squid surges through the reels, doubling your paylines and dramatically boosting winning potential.
There’s also our X2 Mechanic. During bonus rounds, when the Golden Gate rises it reveals additional rows, expanding the grid and transforming 50 paylines into a breathtaking 100-line battlefield of rewards.
Squid Gold X2 is the latest addition to 18Peaches’ fast-growing catalogue of hit titles that continue to resonate with modern players. Recent successes such as Leprechaun Jackpot Collector, Monster Load-Up Hold & Win, and the high-adrenaline Hacker Crash
Jackpot have firmly established the studio as a creator of distinctive, high-engagement experiences.
As with all 18Peaches titles, Squid Gold X2 is built for effortless market deployment. The platform supports Sweepstakes and Free Rounds via API, enabling operators to easily tailor promotional strategies across diverse regulatory environments.

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Young Deer Song, a festive high-volatility slot that takes players deep into a mystical forest where nature’s creatures lead the way to great rewards.
As the moon rises over the treetops, the reels come alive in this Christmas themed title with the fox, owl, raccoon, and wolf, each carrying their own charm and fortune.
The deer, acting as the Wild symbol, prowls across the reels to complete winning combinations, while three or more Scatters trigger free spins beneath the light of the full moon.
The round begins with five spins, where each Extra Spin symbol adds another turn and special icons deliver instant prizes. When six or more bonus symbols appear, players enter a new feature filled with sticky symbols, respins, and jackpot potential.
Once the chase begins, players start with three spins, and each new symbol that lands resets the counter while staying locked in place. Collecting 15 symbols awards the Epic Jackpot, worth 3,000x the bet.
Smaller prizes, Mini (50x), Mega (150x), and Super (500x), can also be won during both this feature and Free Spins, while the Epic reward remains exclusive to the final round.
Packed with engaging mechanics and Evoplay’s signature flair, Young Deer Song showcases the studio’s ability to blend stunning design and dynamic gameplay that keeps players coming back for more.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Young Deer Song offers a festive feel, capturing the raw beauty and mystery of the forest, blending familiar mechanics with a vibrant theme that feels fresh and alive.
