Finnish mobile developer Fingersoft marks a decade of Hill Climb Racing 2 with special anniversary content celebrating the players and community that have kept the game going since its 2016 launch.

OULU, Finland, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The anniversary celebrations will run throughout November, with each week bringing a new theme and fresh content to Hill Climb Racing 2. The celebrations kick off with Adventure: two new adventure tracks, The Great Below and The Climb, with the latter also introducing a new game mode. Shocking week follows with a new event type and special anniversary surprises, before Lore & History takes a look back with a collectible Lore Book event. The month wraps up with Conspiracy, featuring a UFO-themed event and a few hints at what might be coming to Hill Climb Racing 2 next.

Throughout the month, players can claim new free gifts every day and discover extra rewards across the Season Pass and Trophy Road. The celebrations will also visually take over the game, with anniversary-themed artwork including a logo animation, a new splash screen, and a new menu background.

Shaped by millions of players

Hill Climb Racing 2 has evolved continuously since launch through new features, vehicles, events, competitive and social elements, and player feedback. Behind that longevity is a development team faced with an unusual challenge: continually changing a game played by millions of people without losing what made those players love it in the first place.

“When we launched Hill Climb Racing 2 ten years ago, none of us could have predicted that we’d still be building it together with players a decade later. The game today is very different from the one we released in 2016, but the simple joy at its heart hasn’t changed. Keeping something familiar while continuously finding ways to surprise the players has probably been the biggest lesson of these ten years,” says Otto Simola, Product Marketing Manager of Hill Climb Racing 2 at Fingersoft.

That evolution has happened alongside a global player community that continues to race, compete, and create around the game. Player feedback has played an important role in shaping Hill Climb Racing 2 throughout its lifetime, from new features and vehicles to events and social elements.

“This is a fiercely competitive industry, and great games have to continuously find ways to stand out from the rest. We choose to put a lot of effort into delivering top-notch gameplay and a great player experience, and it’s encouraging to see that our fans can tell the difference. We’re immensely grateful to all our players for their support,” says Teemu Närhi, CEO of Fingersoft.

The Hill Climb Racing 2’s 10th anniversary celebrations are now ongoing in-game, on iOS and Android.

National ranking builds on record growth across Virginia’s innovation ecosystem. 

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC) announced today that Virginia has been ranked #5 in the country for “Innovation and Research Ecosystem” in Area Development’s 2026 Top States for Doing Business report. This latest recognition follows Virginia’s Top 10 national ranking (#6) for “Technology & Innovation” in CNBC’s 2026 America’s Top States for Business study and builds on record growth across Virginia’s statewide innovation ecosystem during the past five years. VIPC serves as the Commonwealth’s nonprofit economic development authority dedicated to growing Virginia’s innovation ecosystems through public-private partnership.

Area Development is a leading executive publication covering corporate site selection and business investment. Its 16th annual Top States for Doing Business rankings are based on a survey of expert industry consultants who evaluated states across 20 categories. “Innovation and Research Ecosystem” was Virginia’s second-highest ranked category. Virginia ranked #8 overall nationally, including #1 for “Workforce Training Programs.”

“Virginia has cultivated a robust ecosystem that connects innovation, talent, and capital, enabling businesses of all sizes to build and grow in the Commonwealth,” said Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade Carrie H. Chenery. “Through collaboration with Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation and statewide partners, we are helping researchers and entrepreneurs transform ideas into companies that create thriving communities, good jobs, and create opportunities for all Virginians.”

Over the past five years, Virginia’s innovation ecosystem has accelerated, achieving record growth milestones across university research, high-growth startup formation, and venture capital investment. Annual university research expenditures in Virginia have increased more than 40% during this period, outpacing the national growth rate and climbing to an all-time high of $2.6 billion. Over 25,000 new high-growth startups have launched throughout the Commonwealth since 2020, representing a record five-year cumulative total. Venture capital investment in Virginia startups and early-stage technology companies has also nearly doubled since 2020, reaching a record-high $2.9 billion in 2025.

“Virginia is where innovation thrives, and our Top 5 national ranking reflects the tremendous momentum across our innovation ecosystem,” said Joe Benevento, President and CEO of VIPC. “This shared success is driven by collaboration with partners throughout the Commonwealth, united by a vision to make Virginia the best place to launch, grow, and thrive.”

Virginia is continuing to innovate. Last year, VIPC created Lab-to-Launch, a unique statewide collaboration with Virginia’s leading R1 and R2 research universities to accelerate research commercialization, technology transfer, and startup spinouts. Designed to simplify and streamline technology transfer, Virginia’s Lab-to-Launch offers a faster, easier, and less costly pathway for licensing university intellectual property (IP) and advancing innovation into the marketplace. This new initiative aims to help Virginia universities double their annual technology startup spinouts.

Multi-client accounting firms and fractional CFOs can now bring a client’s payments, sales and spend into their own Claude or ChatGPT, next to the QuickBooks Online or Xero file, for month-end close and reconciliation, with a person approving anything that changes the books

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NumbersGame (https://www.numbersgame.xyz/), the MCP that connects an accounting firm’s own Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot to every client QuickBooks Online and Xero file, today announced integrations with Stripe, Square and Ramp, and all three are open to every NumbersGame customer.

Revenue lands in Stripe or Square and spending runs through Ramp, and the books live in QuickBooks Online or Xero. Making those agree usually means exports, spreadsheets and re-keying. Now it happens in one conversation.

Stripe: prepare, review, then book. A firm connects a client’s own Stripe account to the QuickBooks Online or Xero company it belongs to. Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot can read charges, fees, refunds, payouts and subscriptions, then prepare period summaries, payout entries, and revenue-recognition and deferral journals. Each is a proposal until a person reviews it. If the Stripe data changes in between, the booking is refused as stale instead of quietly posting a different number, and a payout already in the bank feed isn’t booked twice.

Square: sales and payouts into the ledger. A firm owner or administrator connects a client’s Square account so Claude can book that client’s Square sales and payouts into QuickBooks Online or Xero, using the accounts and classes the firm sets for each category. Claude can read payments, orders, payouts, catalog items, disputes, cash drawers, gift cards, customers, invoices and subscriptions. NumbersGame keeps a record of every period and payout it books, so nothing goes in twice. Changes inside Square itself (customers, invoices, subscriptions) only happen after a person confirms a preview.

Ramp: read-only, by design. Once the client’s Ramp admin approves access, Claude can read card transactions, bills, reimbursements, receipts, statements, purchase orders and Ramp’s accounting setup. NumbersGame never creates, approves, pays or changes anything in Ramp, and it doesn’t keep copies of Ramp records.

“I’ve run a bookkeeping firm since 2011, and the month-end question is almost never inside QuickBooks. It’s in Stripe, or in a Ramp receipt nobody attached. I tested the Ramp connection on my own firm’s clients before we offered it to anyone else. Same rule as everything we build: Claude can prepare the work, but a person decides what goes on the books,” said Anelya Grant, co-founder and CEO of NumbersGame.

Fractional CFOs are already using NumbersGame across multiple client books. “Every time I needed to audit our opex, update our financial models, or verify overdue AR, I had to log into multiple QBO accounts, one client at a time. Now I can ask Claude to pull the data and even run some of the modeling for me. A recent opex audit across three entities would normally have taken me a few days. With NumbersGame it was done in under two hours. It’s one of the most powerful MCPs I have,” said Nicole Jordan-Dahdal, CFO and Founder of PrismEdge.

What firms use NumbersGame for

Stripe, Square and Ramp sit on top of the work firms already run through NumbersGame across their client books. QuickBooks Online or Xero stays the system of record, and Claude prepares the work for an accountant to approve.

Month-end close. Teams run the firm’s own month-end close process across every client file: close checklists, proposed adjusting entries, flagged exceptions and a Close Report PDF, without logging in and out of each client.Reconciliation. Claude compares the general ledger to bank statement data and surfaces unmatched transactions. The point of reconciliation automation here is less manual assembly, so differences go to a reviewer instead of being cleared quietly.Bank feed. The QuickBooks Online bank feed is available to every firm. Each new bank connection starts at propose-only, so nothing posts until the firm widens it, and the firm sets its own confidence bar.Client reporting. Branded profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow statements come straight from the live ledger in the firm’s own voice, so the client reporting and the books can’t drift apart.Multi-entity reporting. Firms group related QuickBooks Online or Xero companies, review the intercompany eliminations Claude identifies, and run the consolidation from one prompt.

All three connect through OAuth on the provider’s own sign-in screen, so NumbersGame never sees a password. Tokens are encrypted, and access follows the firm’s existing roles.

Availability and pricing

Stripe, Square and Ramp are available to NumbersGame firms today. Each Stripe, Square or Ramp connection uses half a connection credit (a QuickBooks Online or Xero company uses one). Plans start at $59 a month, with a 14-day free trial, and run on the firm’s own Claude or ChatGPT subscription. Details on the Stripe accounting connector are on the NumbersGame site.

About NumbersGame
