The next Sims 4 expansion, Royalty & Legacy, launches next week and the details we’ve seen so far are all to do with family legacy and scandals. Coincidentally (or likely not) it’s landing right in the middle of season 4 of Bridgerton, the regency era romance TV show that is also all about the scandals…
I use the word “catastrophic” quite a lot—it’s one of those things that just happens when you write about videogames for a living—but there are few games more deserving of the term than MindsEye, one of 2025’s biggest flops. A rough pre-release led into an even worse launch: Player counts on Steam were microscopic, layoffs…
The last thing I expected Blizzard to do was to change the name of Overwatch 2 back to just “Overwatch” four years after it came out. But as announced during the recent Spotlight video, that is exactly what Blizzard’s doing. Most of the sequel’s life has been about earning that 2, so why change it…
When I flew down to Blizzard HQ last week to see what the Overwatch 2 team had been cooking for the last few years, I expected a couple of new heroes and an animated cinematic. What I saw was way more than I ever could’ve imagined, to the point the words “soft reboot” came to…
Documents detailing technical aspects of what’s thought to be its next-gen Zen 6 CPUs have been posted on AMD’s website. The most significant covers AMD’s adoption of Intel’s so-called ‘FRED’ interrupt handling. It’s a change that implies that Zen 6 could be a major architectural overhaul as opposed to a relatively minor revision. FRED stands…

If I was the developer behind one of the biggest games over the last 10 years—one arguably responsible for the huge surge in ‘cosy gaming’ and the return of the glorious farming sim—I’d probably reckon I was a bit of a hotshot. Okay, I definitely wouldn’t because I forever suffer from a severe case of…
A look through AMD’s recently released financial reports shows an interesting addition compared to the previous year. In its list of risk factors to its business (a required part of a Form 10-K filing) and under a section entitled “Economic and market uncertainty may adversely impact our business and operating results”, AMD makes mention of…
A paradox: videogames? They’re pretty good. The videogame industry? It’s bad. Like, mondo bad. A brutal parade of layoffs and exploitation, where grinning execs make out like bandits and everyone else is grist for the mill. One day, of course, the revolution will come, sweep away bourgeois society like so much dust, and the era…
For those about to build a gaming PC, we salute you. These are the dark times for PC building, with the RAMpocalypse doing very bad things to almost every facet of selecting parts for your next setup. But we’re still big fans of building your own PC here at PC Gamer—it may not be any…
