HEY THERE!
We’re New Star Games, a small but experienced development team with a track record of high-quality titles across many platforms over many years. We’ve had a string of successes on mobile and Switch with the New Star and Retro games, and the sensational Retro Bowl being the #1 app on the US App Store.
Our team boasts the super-talented Simon Read, the man behind the original New Star Soccer, and a collection of industry veterans who’ve worked at major studios on titles such as the Worms series (Team17), Lemmings (Team17), Call of Duty: Strike Team (Activision), Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar), and the Grand Theft Auto series (Rockstar).
We mostly develop retro sports-RPG games in which fun, simplicity, and surprising depth is the focus.

WEEK 14 UPDATE
WEEK 14 UPDATE
10 December 2025: This might be the week the Colts tightened their grip on the top of the NFL Retro Bowl '26 Championship leaderboard! As the 49ers dropped to 4th with their no-score bye week, the Colts posted the highest score of the week to climb back to the summit. Congratulations to all the Colts fans who posted a score this week! The Eagles are still in the hunt but may need some big wins in the few game weeks remaining to overhaul the consistent Colts.
Further down the table, several teams gained ground as the Panthers' bye week saw them drop to 14th, and the Patriots' bye week sent them perilously close to the bottom of the table. Of course, there's still a few game weeks left to make a difference, and it's only you the players who can change your team's fortunes, so show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard.
This week's highest individual score was a very closely-fought contest. The top score on the Cardinals leaderboard was 13,035; on the Rams leaderboard it was 13,835; but just edging it was the top score on the Eagles leaderboard of 13,934. All very impressive scores, but congratulations to the player who posted on the Eagles leaderboard... You are the week 14 MVP!
