Game delays are a common part of life in videogames, but game advances—where a game’s release date is moved up instead of back? Not so much. It happens, but it’s a rarity—in most cases, developers are hammering away on games practically right up to the moment of their release. So eyebrows understandably went up yesterday…

Dear reader—and potentially, dear horse enthusiast—I want to clarify something. While I do like animals, I am nowhere near a ‘horse person’. The only experience I’ve had with one of humanity’s oldest animal friends is a very terrified stint on a farm in the rural south of England when I was very little. Which is…

Rockstar might have come down like a tonne of bricks on the personal blog of former Rockstar North dev Obbe Vermeij (who worked at the studio from 1995 to 2009), but apparently it can’t stop him from tweeting. To mark yesterday’s 17th anniversary of GTA 4’s release, Vermeij took to X to exposit on his…

In a recent campaign of TTRPG City of Mist, I played a world-weary lounge singer increasingly finding the watery despair captured in the poem Lorelei was sending unwelcome ripples through her life. Perhaps needless to say, the idea of a songstress who harbours a voice with devastating power is a creative idea I find extremely…

If there’s one thing about the AI boom that doesn’t make my eyes roll or make me feel a disquieting sense of impending doom and existential dread, it’s the fact that many of the computing improvements for that industry will hopefully (emphasis on ‘hopefully’) trickle down into the PC gaming sphere.

It’s been a couple of weeks since Blizzard launched Stadium in Overwatch 2, and since then, it’s been an enjoyable, albeit bumpy ride. Apparently, the new mode only uses internal MMR for matchmaking, but even still, players are encountering a bit of mismatch. “We were literally held hostage in Stadium,” one player says. “Got trapped…

PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon recently sat down with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone to discuss everything from Jojamart to his next game, Haunted Chocolatier. One question was what Barone himself is playing, and the man is as old school as it comes. “Well recently I’ve been playing chess which is a great game,” says Barone….

OpenAI has rolled back its latest version of ChatGPT just 48 hours after release. The reason? Not a murderous LLM rampage, the impending demise of humanity or anything to do with AI overlords. Turns out, GPT-4o was agreeable to the point of ridiculousness. Or to use OpenAI supremo Sam Altman’s words, GPT-4o, “glazes too much.”…

The PC Gaming Show 2025 is almost upon us, and now Ubisoft, Failbetter Games, Devolver Digital and Astra Logical have been confirmed among the publishers and developers showcasing their wares on Sunday, June 8. We love nothing more than sharing news about the most exciting upcoming PC games and hardware, so it’s a genuine pleasure…

Will-o-the-wisps are a unique enemy in Oblivion since they’re seemingly immune to all damage and just don’t stop chasing you. Their ceaseless nature is matched only by their lethality, able to steal your health and magicka if they get too close. You’re most likely to run into these glowing wisps in monster dungeons, but you’ll…
