Dungeons & Dragons will be completing its trio of 2024 rules revisions—a little confusingly—on Feburary 18, 2025. Its third source book, the Monster Manual, comes on the heels of both the Player’s Handbook and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. I recently got to sit down last week, with a bestiary of other outlets, for a preview…
The reality of mounting e-waste is just one more thing that keeps me up at night—though every now and then, such a nightmare spits out a real gem. One Reddit user shared that after recently moving, they went rummaging through a bin full of junked computer parts, and pulled out not just a surprisingly decent…
A UK High Court judge has dismissed a man’s attempt to sue Newport council over a long-lost hard drive containing Bitcoin, which should be the full stop on a rather farcical saga that’s been running for years. James Howells is a computer engineer who got in on Bitcoin early and mined approximately 7,500 Bitcoin from…
Hatsune Miku has been doing the rounds when it comes to collabs at the moment. We’ve seen her in Super Monkey Ball, Fall Guys, and now Fortnite, and while I’m pleased that more people are getting to understand what exactly the enigma of internet icon Hatsune Miku is, I can’t help feeling like these appearances…
Nvidia has dropped a blog post bomb on the Biden administration’s new AI chip export restrictions, announced earlier today and rumoured for some time. Nvidia’s vice president of government affairs, Ned Finkle, denounced the plans as “misguided” and an attempt to “rig” the market. Nvidia also sought to flatter the incoming President, crediting Trump for…
Review catch-up (Image credit: Chasing Carrots) There were a few games last year that we didn’t have time to review, so before 2025 gets too crazy we’re playing review catch-up and rectifying some of these omissions. So if you’re reading this and wondering if you’ve slipped through a wormhole back into 2024, don’t worry, you’ve…
If I had a nickel for every time a recently-released live service third-person shooter gained hundreds of thousands of players at the start of the year, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice. As the headline suggests, Marvel Rivals is doing very well for itself—garnering a whopping…
It’s been 12 years since the announcement of Star Citizen, the ludicrously ambitious and equally ludicrously overfunded space MMO from developer Cloud Imperium Games and designer Chris Roberts. For some of that time there was a legitimate question of whether there was any kind of game there at all, but that spectre has long been…
Path of Exile 2 has been carving out a lovely little niche for itself, based on how many hours of monster-smashing my colleagues here at PC Gamer have been pumping into it. But it hasn’t come without its roadbumps—like, for example, a recent security breach that saw an estimated 66 (potentially more) accounts compromised. That’s…
When Marvel Rivals Season 1 launched last week, a whole host of updates came with it. There were new heroes and some much-needed nerfs and buffs, but there was also something else that went unmentioned in the patch notes: asset hash checking. This prevented client-side mods from working in Marvel Rivals. NetEase considers modding a…
