After mainlining 30 hours of 1440p Bloodborne, I know in my heart it belongs on PC
I decided to finally take fate into my own hands. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time, and it is the only one I have spent a significant amount of time playing on the Sony PlayStation 4. I resent that. I hate that horrible little box under my TV with a passion….
Arc Raiders population stats micropost
37% Friendly co-op players (this player group has grown consistently since launch). 27% Mixed players. 34% Pure PvP players (this player group has remained stable since launch). A breakdown of Arc Raiders’ player population straight from Embark itself. The studio shared the figures as part of its announcement of a PvE toggle test coming to…
Achievement hunters: Can you identify the games these milestones are from?
I understand why achievement hunting gives some people the ick, but I love when a game has a good set of milestones encouraging me to try features I would typically avoid, interesting new strategies, or unusual choices. Those are the achievements I’m tempted to chase, which is another way of me asking: please, no more…
Arc Raiders is finally testing a PvE-only mode: ‘We can’t ignore what the data is telling us’
Arc Raiders PvE Test “To make a long story short, we’re going to be running a test with a PvE matchmaking toggle. This is how it will work: The test will run from October 13-20, 2026. During the test, you will be able to toggle between the classic Arc Raiders PvPvE experience and the PvE…
Control Resonant embarrasses me, specifically, with a launch day hotfix negating my main review complaint
Today is Control Resonant’s launch day, and as I wrote in our review, it’s peak Remedy. It’s a gorgeously surreal atmosphere to sink into—but I had one main complaint. Its combat system centers around building ways to turn your piddly attacks into heavy hitters, which has the unfortunate side effect of making most of its…
PC Gamer’s Hyperfeed beta is live
Mind our dust! And don’t let any of it get into your PC’s fans. We’re temporarily testing a new version of the PC Gamer homepage called the Hyperfeed that you’ll see getting lots of updates over at pcgamer.com/hyperfeed. This is a very early, pre-pre-proto-alpha test, a minimum-viable version for early data gathering and experimentation. You’ll…
‘We all thought we were bringing extraction to the masses, and we didn’t’
A few illustrative quotes from the “Future of Marathon Part 1” video that Bungie published today. The team (recently reduced by Sony layoffs) were candid in their plans to transform Marathon from purely an extraction shooter to something more Destiny-shaped: Easier onboarding, dedicated PvE options, a wider variety of PvP (Including a team deathmatch mode),…
I love modders
I love modders. Instead of just wishing a game had a new feature, they make their wishes a reality. Modder LM6 decided it’d be nice if Skyrim NPCs who were shopping or studying had some new dynamic “I’m thinking” animations. Now they do. (Image credit: Bethesda / LM6 on Nexus Mods)
Hands On: Viture Pro 2 XR Glasses – Big-Screen On A Budget
(If you consider $300 glasses to be cheap, that is…). While many people were confident that XR glasses were nothing but a fad, the market for this tech appears to have grown over the past couple of years, and it’s not hard to see why. These glasses are now lightweight enough to wear comfortably, and…
