**Oct-16-2026:**
**Macro Studio Coming Soon:**
We just wanted to share a quick update on something we've been working on that will be releasing very soon. We've been working on a powerful macro creation tool called Macro Studio, a counterpart to Shooter Studio. It will support importing, exporting, and sharing of Macro .txt files and it will have a brand new "card-based" interface. It will allow you to make very sophisticated and advanced macros. Here is a preview image below:

### New Major Update, New App! \[Sep-15-26]
{% hint style="info" %}
**Sep-15-2026:**
**1.5.0 Firmware Update (PS5®)**
**3.2.0 Firmware Update (Xbox®)**
[**firmware.collectivemindsstore.com**](http://firmware.collectivemindsstore.com/)
iOS: [**App Store**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strikepack-horizon/id6761067402?uo=4)
Android: [**Google Play**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collectiveminds.strikepackhorizonapp\&hl=en)
**Mandatory New STRIKEPACK HORIZON Firmware Updates**, and the **STRIKEPACK HORIZON** app has launched, replacing the now depreciated STRIKEPACK CENTRAL app. Please uninstall the old app to avoid issues with connecting to the new app.
This app is highly optimized compared to the old one, and opens up new possibilites, including new GAMEPACKS such as Shooter Studio and Tournament Studio that are available now, and another Studio coming in the near future.
Unfortunately, we are starting over regarding settings, however backup systems for you backing up your own profiles and sharing your efforts online have been significantly expanded upon.
Tip: We highly recommend that you start focusing on Shooter Studio now, as it is highly modular and can be reconfigured for any Shooter game. Its sharing feature allows for the export and import of highly customized profiles. This is the direction we will be moving in going forward.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://guide.strikepack.com/horizon/news/news-2026.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
