This month PC Gamer celebrates its landmark 30th anniversary issue. For three whole decades PC Gamer has been there reporting on the PC gaming industry’s biggest games, names and events, as well as its wider culture, and in this very special issue of the magazine we celebrate that heritage, both looking back on 30 years of PC gaming, but also 30 years of PC Gamer magazine.

In addition, this issue comes with an exclusive 32-page bonus mini-mag and A4 poster featuring three of PC gaming’s most notable hero characters. This truly is an issue of PC Gamer magazine not to miss!
