At the end of last year, Healy confirmed The 1975 had been working on new music following their impressive headline set at Glastonbury 2025. He didn’t reveal much about the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language‘ but did say it could be a double album that might be called ‘DOGS’. At the end of 2025, he said the next two years “look mental” for The 1975.

In a new update shared on The 1975 subreddit, Healy confirmed that he had been “living in the studio and not sleeping much – that happens normally [about] one month a year.” He went on to say that after working on new music, he was playing dystopian extraction shooter Arc Raiders “almost religiously”.

“I’ve never had a game that’s part of my life like an album or something. It has become something I take quite seriously,” he continued. “Would be cool to play with you guys – any suggestions of how to do it without doxing my gamer tag and just blowing my shit up?”

The fact that Matty Healy plays Arc Raiders is so fucking funny to me. I love him dearly.
