DeepSeek has been the name on everyone’s lips this week, as the release of its R1 AI model spooked the tech market and caused significant financial losses for several major players. Concerns have been raised regarding the security of the Chinese AI startup and its models—and if reports regarding an open database are to be…
Helldivers 2 did its first crossover event with Killzone, recently, and it didn’t go too well. That’s mostly because it was composed of weirdly expensive items that operated outside of the typical Warbonds system, leading to a community backlash so strong that Arrowhead released the second half for free by way of apology. The roller…
Intel won’t launch a new desktop CPU until 2026. That’s the clear implication from comments made this week by the company’s interim co-CEO. Speaking on an earnings call to an assembly of the usual financial analyst types, Michelle Holthaus said, “2026 is even more exciting from a client perspective as Panther Lake achieves meaningful volumes,…
Metroidvanias have become a core pillar of the PC gaming nucleus in recent years, helped in no small part by the constant innovation thanks to indie developers like Today’s Games and its exciting debut release, ReSetna. ReSetna is an exhilarating action-adventure set in a visually striking post-apocalyptic sci-fi landscape. The name ReSetna comes from the…
China-based AI startup DeepSeek caused the tech market to wobble earlier this week, as the release of its open-source R1 model led to mass sell-offs in tech shares.

Yet there are some seemingly looking to stop them from getting away with it….
Fair to say Intel’s GPU plans don’t always go to, er, plan. During Intel’s latest earnings call for highly-remunerated bean counters, the company’s new interim co-CEO let slip that its upcoming next-gen AI GPU has effectively been cancelled. Known as Falcon Shores, it was supposed to replace Intel’s Gaudi 3 chip. But no more. “Based…
Beyond Citadel is a great indie FPS, and one I played through start to finish in just a couple days. It’s a game that I’d love to recommend to everybody, but also nobody. I feel it’s important to preface even a passing mention of this game with a colossal content warning: Beyond Citadel is a…
Intel has been talking numbers this week with the announcement of some reasonably positive financials for the final quarter of 2024 (you can read the full transcript here). With that comes the usual chat around product and official confirmation that the Panther Lake mobile CPU is still due in the second half of 2024 using…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has more than piqued our interest over here at ol’ PC Gamer, but while Sandfall Interactive’s extremely stylish RPG shows a lot of promise, I’ve gotta admit I was surprised to find out that a live-action movie adaptation was already in the works. The game isn’t out until April this year….
