When Tencent unveiled its upcoming Light of Motiram survival game in late 2024, we (and a lot of other places and people) called out its many similarities to Sony’s Horizon series, and idly wondered whether it was tempting fate and SIE’s legal team. The answer came in July 2025 when Sony filed suit, shortly after…
In 2024, we witnessed the rise of the retail sim: games like Supermarket Simulator, Supermarket Together, and TCG Card Shop Simulator that lured players, streamers, and YouTubers with the unparalleled power fantasy of putting stuff on shelves. While the genre’s overnight emergence was surprising, its success makes sense. There’s joy to be found in mundane…
Ahead of launch, Obsidian (sarcastically) predicted that The Outer Worlds 2 companions are “the part of the game you’ll remember more than the ending.” Hey, in an action-RPG that just might be true.

The next World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, will finally add player housing to the venerable MMO. It arrives December 3 and the early signs are very positive: Blizzard may well have dragged its feet over adding a feature that much of the competition already has but, as PCG’s Harvey Randall points out, it’s also been…
Sometimes, it’s hard to get overly excited about a new bit of PC gaming kit. Take the gaming routers, for example. We all use them (and yes, I know it’s technically more than just a router—there’s a switch and a wireless access point in the box, too), but they just sit on a shelf somewhere…
