PC Gaming
We cover a lot of news here at PC Gamer, running the gamut from new game announcements and trailers to reports on layoffs, crime, NFTs, workplace misconduct, and the latest and greatest in hardware development. It’s a lot, and we have a lot of people reading, so as 2023 draws to a close we thought…
Earlier this year, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. Due to some personal circumstances I’d rather not go into, I needed a new system, and I needed it fast. It’d been a while since I’d built myself a new PC from scratch, and given that my profession revolves around keeping up to…
For me, 2023 is separated into the before and after: Before being run over by a gazillion big-hitting game releases, and after being run over by a gazillion big-hitting game releases. While there were some certifiable bangers in the early half of the year—some of which you may have forgotten about, considering 2023 feels like…
So, you’re in the market for a new graphics card. Yay! You’ve headed over to your favorite retailer’s website and looked at the options. Damn! They’re expensive! Apart from voting with your wallet or purse, what can be done about it? Nvidia and AMD aren’t charities. Their prices are high because they can get away…
We’re celebrating the adventurous antics of Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi sequel. For more awards, head to our Game of the Year 2023 hub.

This year I made cozy games my entire personality. It wasn’t hard. Partly that’s because I was already a lover of farm sims and puzzle games, but also because the popularity of “cozy” gaming grew exponentially in 2023. Every week there was a new cute or chill game about gardening or decorating or moving to…
Pinch me, I must be dreaming: rhythm games are kinda in right now. Fortnite Festival has been blowing up, and I’ve been secretly very giddy seeing so many people on my timeline posting their combo and score achievements with pride. I’m a long-time lover of rhythm games, but also a rather judgemental one (sorry Fortnite…
Let’s be honest: 2023 wasn’t exactly the best year for stunning GPU releases. Not for cards that blew our collective minds or opened our collective wallets. However, that’s not to say we haven’t reviewed some great candidates for our graphics card of the year, and it’s quite telling that our picks here fit squarely into…
At the beginning of this year, I said something that I would deeply come to regret: “I’m sick of 100-hour RPGs.” Long-ass games were my entire personality for so much of my life that I don’t know why I ever thought such a thing. Twelve months down the line I’m glad I can eat my…
