Welcome to the annual (except that one year I forgot) PC Gamer computer simulation of the Super Bowl! Today I’m live-blogging the early access physics-driven Football Simulator (using CPU-controlled teams) to perfectly predict the outcome of this Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. I am also going to mess with…
There’s not much we can agree on in this world of strife and tears, but there is one opinion that’s just about universal: YouTube ads suck. Want to watch a video? Watch this ad first. Want to watch another video? Watch this longer ad! Can you click past the ad before it’s over? Maybe—pay close…
Square Enix has just released its financial results for the first three quarters of the financial year (i.e. April 2024 through to the end of December), among which is an impressive uptick in merch sales (thanks, GR+). And the hand-rubbing executives have no problem giving credit where credit’s due: It’s “mainly driven by strong sales…
The second Monster Hunter Wilds beta is here and open to all, but if you played the first beta in late 2024 there’s not a whole lot for you to do this time around. As explained in detail in our beta overview above, Capcom didn’t update this beta build of the game with significant changes…
In a new interview with Bloomberg, Balatro creator LocalThunk revealed some new details about the chaotic poker roguelike’s major gameplay update coming later this year. Now titled update 1.1, publisher Playstack first revealed that more Balatro would be headed our way in 2025 back in August. The famously secretive and anonymous LocalThunk was reluctant to…
MultiVersus may be saying “That’s all folks!” one last time at the end of May, but that doesn’t mean it’s going down without a fight. In fact, it may have just used its dying breath to actually rally a small group of players to come to its defence with its fifth and final season implementing…
The good news out of Warner Bros. Games, according to a new Bloomberg report, is that after the flop of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios is looking to make a new singleplayer Batman game. The bad news, however, is pretty much everything else. It’s been a rough year for Warner. Hogwarts Legacy…
The Nvidia RTX 5080 has been a much-maligned graphics card since its launch. It is a smaller, more power-hungry GPU than its Ada predecessor, and doesn’t really offer a whole lot more silicon than the RTX 4080 Super. Yes, it’s ostensibly the same price, but is only delivering around 15% higher frame rates at 4K,…
With the Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch this year, there’s plenty of fervour around the handheld but perhaps the most interesting new thing is confirmed in a recent patent. Said patent shows how you can use the new and improved Joy-Cons as lil’ gaming mice, and suggests you can use both mouse inputs at…
Oh, sweet liberty above—so, you know that big space hole that Helldivers 2 players accidentally tore open back in June of last year? Firstly, stop giggling at the phrase ‘big space hole’, it’s undemocratic. Secondly, I officially rescind my advice to stop worrying about it, because the Illuminate are, uh, moving it. Towards Super Earth….
