Helldivers 2 has gone a little quiet since the end-of-year blowout that saw the game’s third enemy faction, The Illuminate, storm into the galactic war with their undemocratic mind control tricks and chicanery. The heroes kept a-diving and the fronts of the galactic war have kept a-shifting until yesterday: When all of a sudden the…

The best thing about awards shows is that they give us an opportunity to get mad and argue when the winners are announced. PC Gamer’s Ted Litchfield, for instance, goes blind with fury every time Astro Bot wins another Game of the Year award. But in a nice change of pace, the BAFTAs are giving…

We’re now just one month away from the early access launch of Krafton’s life sim Inzoi. Its game director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim has been pretty forthcoming about its features already, but there’s still more to come on that front. Inzoi Studio will host a global showcase on March 19, just a couple weeks ahead of…

We all change as we age, but one thing I did not necessarily expect for myself in the downward slope of my 30s is that I would become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles guy. I am a great believer, however, in embracing destiny—so when I saw a new TMNT turn-based tactics game demo in Steam…

REINSTALL This article first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 406 in January 2025, as part of our Reinstall series. Every month we load up a beloved classic—and find out whether it holds up to our modern gaming sensibilities.

Nick Evanson, Hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This month I have been: endlessly testing stuff. It’s been a busy ol’ time either testing the performance of new games, the performance of new motherboards, or the performance of new CPUs. I’ve done so many benchmarks that I’m genuinely dreaming about them in my sleep. Help. Let…

After over 22 years of being in service, Skype will be finally closing down on May 5, this year. Its replacement? That’ll be Microsoft Teams, a much more business-oriented social app. As spotted by XDA, the latest Skype preview has a single line of code saying “Starting in May, Skype will no longer be available”….

Back in November we reported that Nvidia was planning to put an ARM CPU for the PC into production in 2025. Now it seems the chip, or at least some version of it, may have been spotted crunching very slowly through Geekbench. The chip on Geekbench is registered as the N1X, which aligns with rumours…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has taken to X to voice a common complaint in TYOL 2025: His company is “out of GPUs.” As someone who regularly trawls the listings looking for the best graphics card deals, I sympathise. They’re goshdarn hard to get hold of these days, aren’t they? Of course, Altman is referring to…

Monster Hunter Wilds hasn’t been out for even a day yet, and already the character customisation is being manipulated in ways I didn’t expect so soon. It was only a matter of time before we saw recreations of characters from TV shows, other games, or even memes and pop culture icons like Ronald McDonald. As…
