Proton—Valve’s Windows-to-Linux compatibility layer that makes so much of your Steam library work on Steam Deck and Linux desktops—got a new big number today, in the form of the first Proton 11 beta release. This one incorporates goodies from (the also recently released) Wine 11, on which Proton is based, and you might already have…

Every time I think Skyrim modders can’t show me any more, they deliver something new. Take a bow daubuoi, whose Unique Jarl Throne Sitting Animation mod fixes a problem I’d honestly never even noticed: in vanilla Skyrim, you see, there is one throne-sitting animation that is used for all jarls. Quick jargon reminder: the jarls…

Bungie released Marathon’s big mid-season update just a few days ago, and it’s packed full of heavily-requested changes (plus a bunch of new things we didn’t even know we wanted). There are more unique weapons to find outside of Cryo Archive, the CARRI event designed to incentivise cooperation, an experimental pseudo-battle royale mode that’s a…

From the moment it launched, Crimson Desert has been a big hit with PC gamers with AMD or Nvidia graphics cards. For those with Intel GPUs, it’s been a completely different story. But there’s now a little more light at the end of the tunnel, as the newly released drivers claim to solve flickering problems…

It’s been seven and a half years since Valve first released Proton, a software compatibility layer that allows games developed for Windows to run on Linux-based operating systems, such as SteamOS. Since that time, Proton has been regularly updated, and the latest v11.0 beta release packs a whole host of fixes for games. However, Valve…

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was our game of the year for 2025, and I personally hailed it as a “New RPG classic” in our KCD2 review. Why? Because you can kiss Hans. There’s some stuff about emergent, systemic gameplay; an uncompromising design vision; and a well-told, politically complex story in a setting no one else…

Do you ever see the word imposter or sus and cold shivers run down your spine? Well same, and we all have Among Us and its astoundingly large reach to thank for that. It seemed like everyone was playing the social dedication party game back when it released, and especially during Covid, but it seems…

The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot is a very fitting name for the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic-inspired sandbox action game by solo developer Stéphane Le Roy. You sure do a lot of kicking: punting enemies off cliffs, booting their weapons out of their hands, and even lobbing barrels at them. But there’s a lot…

Here at PCG towers, we’ve recently been sorting through some of our old treasure hoard of magazine issues, including interviews with many of the industry’s leading figures. One that recently jumped out to me was a 2008 interview with John Carmack, at which time he was still at id Software, around the launch of Quake…

Meta is increasing the price of the Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets. It says this is down to the high costs of components, namely memory, and the change will affect refurbished units, too. “We’re making this change because the cost of building high-performance VR hardware has risen significantly,” Meta says in a blog…
