The studios that supply Australian-facing pokies sites release on a monthly cadence. PG Soft and JILI each publish several titles a month; Fa Chai, KA Gaming and Dragoonsoft release regularly; the Mega888 H5 and EVO888 H5 platforms add games to their existing lobbies. A site that carries 60 or more studios receives a new title most weeks.
The list at the top of this page shows tracked sites with 50 or more studios, ordered by studio count, because breadth is the best predictor of which site gets a new release first.
How to find new releases in a lobby
New tab. Most lobbies have a “new” or “latest” filter at the top of the pokies section.
Studio pages. Open the studio’s own tab; new titles are usually shown first.
Promotions. A free-credit promotion tied to a specific studio means the site has just added or is pushing that studio’s games.
What is different about 2026 releases
Higher default RTP. New titles from the major studios are shipping at 96% to 97% defaults, with the lower variants offered to operators as options rather than the standard.
Portrait-first design. Almost every new pokie is built for a phone held upright, with landscape as the fallback.
Feature buys. Most new high-volatility titles offer a buy-in to the bonus feature. Remember that feature buys void bonus play on the sites we track.
Lighter clients. New games load faster on mobile data than titles from two years ago.
Trying a new pokie
Use demo mode or no-deposit credit to learn the feature set before staking real money; see free pokies. Check the info screen for RTP and volatility, since new titles are frequently high volatility with a large top prize. If you are clearing a bonus, a new low-volatility title is the safer choice than a new high-volatility one.
Which studios release the most new pokies for Australian-facing sites?
PG Soft, JILI and Fa Chai release monthly, and the Mega888 H5 and EVO888 H5 platforms add titles regularly. Sites with 60 or more studios receive new releases first.
Are new pokies better than old ones?
Newer titles usually have higher published RTP settings and phone-native layouts. Older titles from the same studio can carry lower RTP variants. Check the info screen either way.
Do sites run promotions on new releases?
Yes: free credit tied to a studio (Spacecraft9 runs BNG and JILI credit tiers), and 'new game' tabs in the lobby. Promotions on a specific studio are the clearest sign the site is pushing its new titles.
