Dear reader, this is not a drill: Silksong’s release year has officially been confirmed. While it’s not the big, blow-out trailer fans were necessarily hoping for—almost a blink-and-you’ll-miss it moment stuffed into the end of Nintendo’s April 2 direct, Hollow Knight: Silksong is provably, actually coming out this year. Probably. An entire few seconds of…

Day 97 (or something like that), the saga of the imploding AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs continues. Yesterday, we reported on a tally of well over 100 reports of dead Ryzen 7 9800 X3Ds on Reddit, most of them in ASRock motherboards. Now we have an official statement in response from AMD, essentially mirroring ASRock’s…

Once upon a time, back when videogames were properly visionary, we had a command called /pizza. You could just whack that command into the text chat on EverQuest 2 and, bammo, Pizza Hut would deliver a pie right to your door (after you’d entered your details).

Dungeons & Dragons might be, if trends continue, one of the most mishandled success stories I’ve ever seen. And, if my powers of prophecy are correct, we’re starting to approach the low bend of a 10+ year arc where Hasbro, the parent company of D&D creators Wizards of the Coast (WoTC), has continually fumbled the…

Every day, people use laptops that don’t come with RGB keyboards, power-hungry graphics chips or battery lives measured in fractions of a heartbeat. They’re the ultraportables, the business machines, the PCs that make the world go round, and some of the best come from a name that will be familiar to PC Gamer readers: MSI….

I’ve somehow ended up in the unenviable position, dear reader, of being PC Gamer’s resident ‘the Silksong community’s having a bad time’ writer—which is a beat I didn’t know existed, but hey, I’m here, aren’t I? Whenever I have to crack the lid open on said community, like checking in on an ant farm, I…

After new CEO Lip-Bu Tan presented his bonafides to the Intel Vision 2025 audience yesterday comes some product news from the event. Well, just about. In truth, there was no major product bomb, but Intel did confirm that it’s next-gen Panther Lake CPU was on track to go into production later this year with availability…

ChatGPT creator OpenAI has been made an offer it can’t refuse, otherwise known as a highly valued round of investments, but to get all of it, OpenAI needs to shift away from its original non-profit approach. Shared on the OpenAI website, the latest round of funding totals plans to invest $40 billion into the company,…
