SEATTLE, WA, March 23rd – Whether you’re tuning in on your TV, your computer or a fancy-yet-fashionable set of VR goggles, the National Nightly News is broadcasting direct to you today. Developers NotGames and publisher tinyBuild proudly announce that the sizzlingly satirical news-editing hit Not For Broadcast is out now on Xbox One, Series S/X plus PlayStation 4 & 5 consoles, with new “Live & Spooky” DLC available for consoles & PC.
The headlines come thick and fast today, as this 2023 IGF grand prize nominee has also landed on Meta Quest 2/Pro headsets and Steam VR for your most immersive, chaotic and disastrous news-editing experience yet.
Curious how we ended up here, with an FMV game launching across multiple platforms in the year 2023? Ponder no longer, and let developers NotGames explain in musical fashion here on YouTube. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll want to buy their games!
Dive into the utterly bizarre world of British live television today in Not For Broadcast. Set in an alternate 1980s, become the editor for Channel One’s National Nightly News show. Switch between camera feeds, bleep out dangerous (or just plain rude) ideas, and help decide what stories are fit to go nationwide. Not like it could completely change the course of history, right?
Whether you’re playing on PC, console or in VR, Channel One’s editing desk interface is a dream to use. Hit those buttons, turn those dials and play the sponsored ads of your choosing one VHS tape at a time. Just don’t let the audience ratings drop, or you might be out of a job.
Also available today on PC and Consoles: The new Live & Spooky DLC, first of three new chapters coming in the Not For Broadcast season pass. Return to the editing room in this special show, taking news-anchor Patrick Bannon on a mysterious mission to a ‘haunted’ backlot. Clearly there’s no such thing as ghosts, but supernatural schlock makes for great ratings.
This one’s going to be a bit more involved than your usual broadcast as you lead Patrick and crew from room to room. Whether you’re digging up old secrets or keeping things fresh with a little bit of spooky editing wizardry, this one’s in your hands, and how it all ends depends on your choices.
A critical and commercial hit (selling over 400,000 copies) on PC, Not For Broadcast is out now on Xbox and PlayStation stores, accompanied by the new Live & Spooky DLC, and priced at $24.99 for the base game or $39.99 including the season pass. Not For Broadcast VR is also available separately on Steam and the Meta Quest store.
