Cultural Tip
In German gaming circles 'rauskommen' is the everyday verb for a game’s release, especially in online forums and Twitch chats. In more formal contexts, such as press releases, you’ll see 'veröffentlicht werden' or 'herausbringen'. Also note that 'Spiele' can refer to both video games and board games, so the surrounding conversation usually clarifies the type.
