VR Distribution brings Hot Streak, Magical Athlete, Cabanga and more to UK Games Expo 2026

VR Distribution will be at UK Games Expo 2026 later this week with an impressive line-up of family, party and hobby games.

Highlights from VR Distribution this year include Magical Athlete and Hot Streak from CMYK. Magical Athlete is shortlisted for Best Family Game at the UK Games Expo 2026 Judges’ Awards, while Hot Streak is a loud, high-drama betting-and-racing game where players back ridiculous mascot racers.

Elsewhere, VR Distribution is set to give SKYJO (Magilano) a stronger UK retail presence, and will also be showcasing Spots – a ‘dog-powered’ push-your-luck dice game – at Expo this year.

The line is completed by Cabanga – winner of the Best Imagination Gaming Game of the Year Award 2025 – and 6 Nimmt! Baron Oxx, a simultaneous-selection card game where players place numbered cards onto colour-matching rows, trying not to complete a sixth card .

VR Distribution can be found at stand 3-561 at UK Games Expo.
