How Pantaloon is curating an "evolving library of bold and bizarre games" with its new subscription service Co-founder Jamin Smith explores how the Playbill is "another mad experiment in a series of mad experiments that have – so far – not sunk the business" Over recent years, more and more companies have moved away from the traditional publishing model and set their sights on indie curation. Partly funded by a $150k investment announced earlier this year, the Playbill launches with 14 titles plus Pantaloon's original games. We want to keep our selection more lean in the service of our community being in step with each other." Launch lineup The Playbill's full launch lineup includes: Buckshot Roulette (Critical Reflex, Mike Klubnika), Silt (Fireshine, Spiral Circus Games), Ex Sanguis (Firesquid, Lightbulb Crew), Death Crown (5WORD Team), Kids (Playables), Four Last Things (Akupara Games, Joe Richardson), and Cabin Factory (Future Friends Games, International Cat Studios) Devolver's Virtue: Prologue (Juno Menager, Deconstructeam, Selkie Harbour) will be a timed-exclusive at launch, a visual novella companion piece to the upcoming Virtue and a Sledgehammer, releasing on October 27. Our own titles will sit in the service indefinitely, too." The full roster of games is available through a 'Primo' subscription ($4.99/£3.99 monthly, or $49.99/£39.99 annually).

Nothing performed well enough to kick EA Sports FC 27 from the top spot, unfortunately, but Control Resonant arrived in second and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse whipped up a third-place debut, with 45% of sales coming from Switch. + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition kept the good times going at fourth, and Fireshine Games' Valor Mortis rounded out the top 10 newbies in ninth.
