Looks like things are heating up in DayZ: a new map has just been announced for the ruthless open world survival game, and it’s going to be a hot one. In contrast to DayZ’s last expansion, Frostline, which plunged players into a frigid archipelago called Sakhal, the new Badlands map, coming in 2026, is set…
Gaming on the go has become big business in recent years, but lugging around your full-size mechanical keyboard and chunky gaming mouse isn’t the most practical way to do it. Razer reckons it’s found the answer in the form of the Joro keyboard and Basilisk Mobile mouse, but I’ve got some serious reservations about both…
One of the purest pleasures of this job is the fact that we get to play around with all kinds of different PC kit. But that also means the hardware team’s PCs are ships of Theseus and are regularly stripped and rebuilt from parts we’re testing or bits left around the PC Gamer offices. And…
The Glorious Model O Eternal is a mouse that might not be designed as an ultra-premium mousing machine, but instead as a respectable, wired ultralight choice that provides some serious value from a trusted brand and model in the space. The OG Model O launched back in 2019, when ultralight gaming mice first exploded in…
One of the most jarring changes that Stadium brought to Overwatch 2 was the introduction of a third-person perspective. For the last nine years, Overwatch has just been an FPS, but in the spirit of making changes we got the option to either go first or third-person when playing Stadium. From what I’ve encountered, third-person…
If you’re reading this on a PC running Windows, it’s almost certainly a 64-bit version of the operating system. It also supports 32-bit applications, which is why so many old games will run on it, but the developers of Linux-based Fedora have proposed a change to fully remove 32-bit support, and the decision appears to…
The word ‘pretty’ isn’t one that comes up too often in PC Gamer. The games themselves are often full of monsters designed to be as unappealing as possible, while the lumpen protagonists are seldom any better. Games like Infinity Nikki and the cosy games movement are making inroads into prettiness, but that’s never going to…
“Inzoi is a good-looking game with a lack of anything meaningful to do” is a sentiment I’ve shared often. And hey, now I have some numbers to back me up. Developer Krafton recently held a livestream for a handful of its content creators—headed up by director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim—divulging some statistics like most-requested features and…
Last night in a showcase livestream, Capcom provided details about the next Monster Hunter Wilds title update, arriving next week. The update features reprise appearances from fan-favorite monsters, new cosmetic additions, balance updates, and purported performance improvements that could make or break Wilds’ ability to win back player sentiment that’s recently taken a sharp downturn….
It’s a well-known fact at this point that Final Fantasy 14 is Square Enix’s breadwinner. It’s regularly cited as the company’s biggest source of income, but I’ve been getting the feeling that the golden goose is about to go on life support: There’s been a noticeable growing weariness during latest expansion Dawntrail, seeing subscription numbers…
