A character in a spacesuit explores a vast ice-covered alien landscape in an unidentified video game environment.

DON'T NOD, the studio behind the recently released Aphelion and the team behind the first two Life is Strange titles, is currently looking for a way to secure its future after Tencent decided against further short-term investment in the narrative-focused studio. Following claims made by French reporter Gauthier 'Gautoz' Andres that the studio is rapidly approaching a situation where it would be "out of cash," DON'T NOD responded to the claims in a statement sent to Game Developer.

GeForce NOW Adds Another Seven Games Headlined by DON’T NOD’s Aphelion and Super Meat Boy 3D Amidst Summer Sale Drive

A mosaic of game titles including Styx, Resident Evil 4, Civilization VII, Call of Duty, and Borderlands 4, displayed with the NVIDIA logo and 'GEFORCE NOW' in the bottom left corner.

NVIDIA's cloud streaming GeForce NOW service has just revealed the next seven games supported by the cloud service, which brings all of your games across multiple storefronts into one place. This latest batch adds titles like Super Meat Boy 3D and Aphelion, though just as significant as the new games entering the service is the fact that the GeForce NOW summer sale means it's the best time to subscribe if you haven't already.

Kazakhstan May 2026: Changan cracks podium, helped by new CS35 Max

The new Changan CS35 Max is up to #3 in Kazakhstan in May.

New vehicle sales in Kazakhstan drop -5.1% year-on-year in May to 18,393 units, pushing the year-to-date tally further into negative territory at -1.8% to 84,002. This month, after a freak surge by Chevrolet in April, Hyundai (-27.6%) reclaims the top of the brands charts with 15.8% share and despite a sharp year-on-year fall. Chevrolet (-0.2%) is relegated to #2 with 12.7% share vs. 17.2% so far this year where it stays #1. Changan (+17.5%) advances further to a record this place, the carmaker’s first time on the Kazakh podium. In contrast Kia (-24.9%) drops to #4 ahead of four Chinese carmakers: Chery (+9.8%), Haval (+19.7%), JAC (+58.4%), all rising apart from Jetour (-7.8%).

Over in the models charts, the Chevrolet Cobalt (+19.7%) stays on top even though it drops from 25.5% share last month to 12.2%. The Hyundai Tucson (+0.6%) remains at #2 while the new Changan CS35 Max ascends to the podium for its third month in market. It distances its big brother the Changan CS55 Plus (-26.3%) while the Haval M6 (+2.2%) rounds out the Top 5. The Chery Tiggo 2 (-6%) is up four spots on April to #5 and the JAC S3 (+78.2%) is up 20 to #7. The Toyota Camry (+147.8%), Haval Jolion (+49.7%) and Jetour X70FL (+20.1%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10.

Previous month: Kazakhstan April 2026: Chevrolet Cobalt at 25.5% share
