Sony has increased its stake in FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa to 10%, becoming the largest shareholder in the business, while the two corporations have entered into a “strategic capital and business alliance” according to a joint press release. It had been rumored for several weeks that Sony was in talks to fully acquire Kadokawa and…

Here at PC Gamer we’re all busy sharing our Steam Replays with each other in Slack, comparing how many games we’ve played, how many ‘cheevos we’ve earned, and how many of us have the word ‘Dwarf’ in our spider graphs—which is at least five of us. The Dwarf genre had a strong 2024! It’s fun…

The Forever Winter is one of the few extraction shooters I’ve clicked with—a post-apocalyptic warzone where you play as insignificant scavengers scurrying across desolate battlefields, trying to find loot while soldiers, cyborgs and building-sized machines duke it out all around you.

The modder has taken it upon himself to convert some of the biggest PC games into VR over the years—Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Far Cry 4-6, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Star Wars Outlaws, to name a…

Ah, Arrowhead Games, never change—in the continual, eternal cycle of “it’s so over” and “we’re so back”, the Helldivers 2 devs have done a 180-degree turn on their current Killzone collaboration, which was incredibly unpopular for a few important reasons.
