The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct ended on a truly stunning reveal: FromSoftware is making a game called The Duskbloods, set to release in 2026, and it looks very much like a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne. Yes, Bloodborne: My vote for the best videogame ever made, and one that remains stubbornly locked to the aging PS4…
Nintendo has dished the deets on its hot new Switch 2 handheld gaming console, which goes on sale June 5. Well, most of them. Highlights include a new larger 7.9-inch screen, 256 GB storage and pop-off controllers with ‘mouse’ functionality. But there’s very little insight into the new Nvidia (we assume) chip powering it all….
It only seems like yesterday when I got my hands on ATI Technologies’ first and much-anticipated Radeon graphics card but time has a funny way of playing tricks on your memory, and it was 25 years ago—to this very week—as I managed to easily pick one up at launch (how times have changed). The Radeon…
Yes, yes, Valve’s Steam hardware surveys can be problematic and occasionally throw up anomalies that can’t possibly reflect the reality of gamer’s rigs (there’s one such potential glitch to follow, so hang in there). I’m way ahead of you. But for the record, the first Nvidia RTX 50 GPU to break cover in the survey…
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). It was the closest humanity has ever come to…
You’ll need to find the Sunless Cell fragments in Destiny 2 if you want to complete the Dyadic Perfection quest and earn the final intrinsic upgrade for the Barrow-Dyad SMG. The Sunless Cell strike arrived alongside act three, so first you’ll have to progress the seasonal story all the way to act three to unlock…
Disco Elysium is a real special game at PC Gamer—we gave the original 2019 release a score of 92, calling it “an irresponsibly deep detective RPG that lets you be any kind of detective you want.” Then developer ZA/UM stepped it up a notch in 2021 with Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, adding full voice…
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…
