With Electronic Arts now officially owned by Saudi Arabia, CEO Andrew Wilson has made some changes at the top, appointing former EA Sports president Cam Weber as president and chief studios officer, and former “chief experiences officer” David Tinson—basically the top marketing and communications role—as president and chief operating officer. The announcement of the promotions…
I’m not that into the original Path of Exile, but playing so much of the sequel has exposed me to plenty of people who do. A huge topic of discussion around the current league is about loot and the lack of it. Many players are unhappy with the majority of the loot coming from chests…
In June 2020, Bungie made what would come to be remembered as one of the most reviled PR incidents in modern videogames: It announced the content vault.

The teaser is light on details, but it’s certainly illustrative of what Super Earth will be up against. We see a helldiving teddy bear being consumed by the void—a tear in…
Co-op puzzle game Big Walk launched yesterday, and it’s off to a great start: it peaked at nearly 50,000 concurrent players on Steam this morning, Steam reviews are “Very Positive,” and here at PC Gamer we’re all having a great time with it, too. There’s one issue, however, that shows up in pretty much every…
Take-Two Interactive, publisher of Grand Theft Auto 6, will hold its Q1 FY2027 results call on Friday, August 7, and I don’t mean to sound alarmist or over-excited but I think something might be happening.
