It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the time when the games industry puts on its best evening wear and Troy Baker takes the stage to tell us which videogames are set to win after millions of public votes have been totted up. It is, in other words, time for the Golden Joysticks, which…
The lack of support for Nvidia’s DLSS in Starfield when the game first launched was a bit of a touchy subject. However, it didn’t take long for modders to add it into the game and Bethesda to hint at official support not long after. Well, that time has come, and a beta branch of Starfield…
I’m pretty excited about Remnant 2’s first DLC, The Awakened King. Aside from adding a whole new area to one of my favourite games of 2023—a much-appreciated upgrade, since it’s built to be played multiple times—it’ll also add a new archetype, build-altering jewellery, and even more guns for me to tinker with. What’s more, if…
I was already riled up enough when yesterday I wrote about my frustrations with BioWare’s endless cryptic teasing of its upcoming games, so it’s probably a good thing for my blood pressure that it wasn’t until today that I realised the studio is monetising them too. For the pretty steep price of $45 / £37.25…
Every single time I quit World of Warcraft I tell myself it will be for the last time. Legion was the last expansion I really got into, and I still bounced off it. Honestly, Wrath of the Lich King was probably the last time I remained subbed throughout an expansion’s life cycle. But something always…
Pour out a, uh, Fosters? Because this arvo has been proper buggered by the surprise delay of Broken Roads, the upcoming Ozzie CRPG that was one of our most anticipated games of November until it suddenly became one of our most anticipated games of 2024, and that’s, um, fair dinkum. Or maybe it’s not. God,…
The latest issue of Edge Magazine includes an extensive interview with IO Interactive co-owners Hakan Abrak and Christian Elverdam about the studio’s first 25 years and, of course, its future. A huge part of that is a new James Bond game, which IO announced in 2020 as an origin story with its own version of…
It’s been many years since Microsoft implemented proper support for HDR monitors in Windows but trying to correctly capture the colours in a screenshot has been a constant problem. At long last, though, the Snipping Tool has been updated in the latest development versions of Windows to help solve this annoying issue. As announced in…
Secret Level This article first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 387 in August 2023, as part of our Secret Level series. Every month we talk to the unsung heroes of games development, and explore what makes their roles vital. Noah Lone (AKA somehumbleonion) studied computer science at college… and hated it. Until his final…
I had the pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Amelia Tyler, the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s narrator, earlier this week. While we talked at length about the Dark Urge, I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask her about her favourite lines. Which, in retrospect, is a big ask. “There are…
