This new project was originally revealed in 2021 and now in a blog update it’s been revealed the project was cancelled “late last month”. Long story short, there’s…
Four Switch releases in one package. Aspyr is apparently launching a new Star Wars bundle alongside the release of Jedi Power Battles this week. The “Prequel Pack” includes Aspyr’s latest release bundled with the existing releases Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and Star Wars Episode I: Racer.

Every so often I’ll be sitting on my couch playing Balatro on Steam Deck and have an unwanted thought: I should really play something other than Balatro once in a while. So, I take a look through Steam to see what other games aren’t Balatro but are still pretty much Balatro so I don’t have…

Electronic Arts has revised its projected revenues for the 2025 fiscal year sharply downward in a preliminary financial results release, from $7.4–7.7 billion to $7–7.15 billion, as both EA Sports FC and Dragon Age: The Veilguard failed to meet expectations. We don’t cover a lot of business-focused news at PC Gamer, but this is interesting…

Close to a year after its launch on PlayStation 5, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is escaping from Midgar and entering into the wider world of PC gaming. Rebirth’s official PC launch date is on January 23, but how that date applies to you depends on your timezone. While you wait, we’ve got more for you…
All Will Fall—going by the full legal name “All Will Fall: Physics-Based Survival City Builder” on Steam—is nearly all of my favorite videogame things. I’m a build mode girl at heart with a survival game fixation and a fondness for Valheim’s physics-lite building. It was designed with me in mind. Despite the dropshipper style keyword-stuffed…
