Sustainable Games Alliance Launches First Industry Standard for Sustainable Games

October 10, 2025• Entertainment, Lifestyle

Helsinki, Finland – The Sustainable Games Alliance (SGA), a global non-profit cooperative of game developers, universities and associations, today announced the launch of the Sustainable Games Standard, the first global emissions reporting framework created specifically for the games industry.

Established in 2024, SGA set out to bring studios, publishers, associations, and partners together around a common goal: making gaming the most sustainable form of entertainment. Just a year later, that goal has moved from vision to reality. With more than 30 members and partners already involved, the Sustainable Games Standard gives the industry a freely available, practical tool to measure, benchmark, and reduce emissions across development, publishing, distribution, and infrastructure.

“With the Sustainable Games Standard, the industry finally has a framework that reflects how games are actually made, turning ambition into actionable impact. It is a commitment of the industry uniting companies, associations, and researchers under one standard to drive change at scale. Our ambition is to make gaming the most sustainable entertainment medium, and industry wide strategic action based on easily accessible and comparable data is the only way we’ll get there.” said Maria Wagner, Managing Director of the Sustainable Games Alliance.

A Framework Designed for Games

Unlike generic reporting tools, the Sustainable Games Standard has been built around the unique needs of the games sector and its value chain. Covering everything from game design and server infrastructure to marketing and hardware, the framework enables companies to:

  • Track emissions with accuracy specific to games

  • Benchmark performance across titles and companies

  • Identify improvements that cut costs and reduce environmental impact

  • Comply with new regulations in Europe and beyond

  • Optimize energy consumption and extend battery life

  • Reduce hardware load and optimize performance

  • Enhance the player experience

Importantly, the framework is freely available, ensuring studios of all sizes, from AAA to indie, can take part.

Global Industry Support

The Sustainable Games Alliance already unites a broad coalition of studios, publishers, service providers, and associations. Together, these organizations represent every corner of the industry, from pioneering indie developers and global studios to trade associations and research initiatives, reflecting a growing momentum for systemic, industry-wide action on sustainability.

“The SGA Standard paves the way for greater transparency and streamlined collaboration between game developers, manufacturers, and service providers to more effectively contribute to emissions reduction,” said Mathias Gredal Nørvig, CEO of SYBO. “An industry standard for measurement and reporting is the critical next step in making the gaming landscape’s sustainability efforts more efficient and impactful.”

“To accurately measure our company’s full carbon footprint, we need transparent data from our partners. While we get detailed emissions reporting for some services like business travel, there are major data gaps when it comes to digital service infrastructure. This prevents us from truly understanding our impact. Standardized reporting for services is essential—it would empower customers and providers alike to make meaningful climate progress. That’s why I’m excited to see what we can achieve with the SGA Standard,” said Tommi Lappalainen, Senior Sustainability Manager at Rovio Entertainment.

“Energy efficiency is not just a technical detail, it’s a competitive advantage. Longer battery life keeps players engaged on the go, while lower energy demand contributes to a more sustainable game industry. To make real progress, we need reliable ways to measure and compare performance across the industry, and it is exciting to see SGA being a leader of that transformation”, said Laurent Gibert, Principal Product Strategy Architect & Co-Lead Unity Montreal.

From Launch to Action
The launch of the Sustainable Games Standard marks the beginning of a new chapter for the industry, one where environmental responsibility becomes part of how games are made. It is paving the way for more strategic and systemic reporting and emissions reduction by enabling integration into game engines, platforms, and by service providers, saving developers time and money by delivering better data, faster and with greater transparency freeing up capacities for studios to focus on creating more sustainable, just better games.

Throughout 2025 and 2026, the Sustainable Games Alliance (SGA) will support adoption of the standard and will host workshops, case studies, and presentations that showcase results from early members and demonstrate real-world impact.

SGA is calling on developers, publishers, platforms, investors, and associations worldwide to join the initiative and help position gaming as a global leader in sustainable entertainment.

July 18, 2025• Entertainment

Oberhaching – SunDust, a label of German publisher Toplitz Productions is excited to announce the release date for Wild West Supermarket Simulator.

Watch the new trailer on YouTube

The store simulation will be entering its Early Access phase on Steam on August 7, 2025 and puts you in charge of a rundown store in an almost deserted ghost town of the Wild West.  You have to prove your business acumen and bring not only the granddaddy of modern supermarkets back to life, but the town itself. With each success the city will be filled with life – and more customers.

After a successful run during the last Steam Next Fest, where the demo could garner a positive review score of 88%, the Early Access version is building on the solid foundation from the demo experience and the collected community feedback – but adding bucketloads of fresh content.

Work your way up from humble beginnings and eventually offer 70 products from dried goods and bread up to fresh produce and meat or tools as well as equipment to your hopefully growing number of patrons. Cater to the ever-changing demands of your customers, react to events like a drought or changing economic environments impacting the wholesale prices as well as your income. Adjust prices on the go and walk the narrow line between affordability and profit. Unlock more features and items as you level up your store. Decorate, upgrade, renovate and customize not only your store, but also your homestead overlooking the town.

Participate in exciting minigames like the tomahawk throwing contest or the shooting range to unlock new licences for your ever-growing store. Hire helpers to work the cash register, organize your storage or restock the shelves according to your specs. Watch the town come back to life, as the success of your store brings new customers into town.

Features: 

  • 70 products 
  • 15 shelf types
  • Full-fledged economy system with changing prices, supply and demand
  • More than 50 decoration items
  • Dynamic events
  • Minigames
  • Multi-level store expansion
  • Fully customizable store
  • City growth (depending on your store’s success)
  • Hire helpers to support you with the cash register, storage or shelf stacking
  • Fully customizable homestead


Wild West Supermarket Simulator will enter Early Access for PC on Steam on August 7, 2025. More information on the game can be found on the official product page, where the game can also be wishlisted.

Live To See Another Day: AZTECS: THE LAST SUN Releases On August 28, 2025

July 9, 2025• Entertainment, Uncategorized

Oberhaching, Germany – Polish development team Play2Chill and German publisher Toplitz Productions jointly announce the release date for the survival city builder Aztecs: The Last Sun. The Early Access start of the highly anticipated survival infused strategy title has been set for August 28, 2025.  
 

Aztecs: The Last Sun will give you a memorable gameplay experience. Because when you take over the role of an Aztec leader trying to build the city state of Tenochtitlan, you will soon find out that the game transcends classic historical city builder elements.

You’ll be confronted with gut-wrenching decisions that can have a critical impact on your reputation as a leader or your peoples’ wellbeing in the long run. Keep that in mind, once your perception of benevolence or cruelty will be put to the test.

Get ready to fight for your and your followers’ survival, once night sets in. Face the wrath of the Moon Goddess, when she attacks the city and only the shielded bloodzone is able to withstand her fury – as long as your settlement has enough stored blood to maintain it. As the continuous attacks take their toll on your bloodzone, your priests simply cannot fail in their quest of maintaining a steady supply of the precious lifeforce – for you and Tenochtitlan will fall with the temple.

Experience the exciting duality of Aztec life with building up your society and your city structures by day and the sheer fight for survival of your civilization against overwhelming odds. Can you withstand the Gods and lead the Aztecs to glory?

Aztecs: The Last Sun will be released on PC in Early Access on August 28, 2025.

Hot Summer, Hot Prices: Toplitz Productions Joins The Steam Summer Sale

June 27, 2025• Entertainment

Oberhaching, Germany – Publisher Toplitz Productions proudly announces its participation in the coveted Steam Summer Sale. Thru July 10, the German publisher slashed prices across its full portfolio from all-time classics like Industry Giant 2 up to recently released games like the isometric open world action Survive The Fall from development team Angry Bulls Studio.

Among the highlights of the Toplitz Productions discount extravaganza is undoubtedly Medieval Dynasty, which also readied its new update as well as the DLC “Echoes of Nature” just in time for the sales start. With its discount of 40%, also extended to the extra content like the Digital Supporter Pack or The Official Guide, you won’t find a cheaper price for the comprehensive collection of content for the popular mix of life-sim, open world and roleplaying for up to four players.

If you rather like your medieval times with a far-eastern flair, dive into the world of Sengoku Dynasty. With the highly anticipated ‘Bushidō’ Update and its raids on the players’ villages recently unleashed, the price for the feudal live sim as well as its Digital Deluxe Edition has been slashed by 35%.

Other titles from the ever-popular Dynasty franchise call you to adventures with price reductions of 80% for Farmer’s Dynasty or 70% for Lumberjack’s Dynasty, while the ticket to explore the mysterious worlds of Starsand has been reduced by 50%.  

A vibrant and colorful, yet immensely dangerous world in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. Loot. Base-building and management. Exploration. Crafting. Exciting real-time team fights with optional ‘Active Pause’. These are the main ingredients for Angry Bulls Studio’s Survive The Fall. Enjoy the isometric action adventure with 20% off or get the Digital Deluxe Edition with the same fantastic discount.

The back catalogue from Toplitz Productions is not only filled to the brim, but also heavily reduced for Steam Summer Sale. Get the ever popular management classic Industry Giant 2 or focus on efficient infrastructure planning with Traffic Giant with a wallet-friendly rebate of 80% each.
