As we know, Turtle Beach loves to put a big ol’ screen on its peripherals and this decadent Hall effect keyboard is probably the apotheosis of “big screen on otherwise screen-less thing” design. It’s a big 4.3-inch color touchscreen affair that does little more than what can already be achieved on the monitor directly in…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, PC Gamer’s 2025 game of the year and absolute all-timer, has hit the 6 million copies sold landmark. If you recall, this is the game that implemented a shoe-stealing system because of a PC Gamer article. So, if you think about it, it’s almost like we’ve reached 6 million copies sold,…
Three years ago, AMD introduced a new type of CPU core for its Zen 4 microarchitecture. The idea behind them was to reduce the amount of die space taken up by a regular core, so that more of them could be packed into a chiplet. The compact design is now a staple part of the…

It turns out the problem for the company regarding memory and storage for the new Steam Machine hasn’t just been…

However, if you were hoping to pick up a cheap, older-generation card with lots of VRAM, then you’re going…
I’ve wanted to revisit Dragon Age: Origins on PC for years. I played the PS3 version back in 2009, which isn’t as bad as people say it is, though it does lack the PC version’s tactical view and, of course, mod support. Origins has been on my wishlist for well over a decade, but I…
Atlus RPG series Persona could be getting a live-action Netflix adaptation, according to a new Variety report. The production company responsible for Stranger Things, 21 Laps, will be substantially involved, as will Story Kitchen, another production company with a focus on game-to-film adaptations like Sonic The Hedgehog, as well as forthcoming projects including Tomb Raider,…
