The first few months of 2026 were a little slow for new game releases, but I find myself saddled with a bit of indecision anxiety as I look at the schedule for May. While I’m not much of a Forza or Hitman player myself, those are the two big releases that have my colleagues really…
I’m dating myself here, but the operating systems I remember most clearly banging my head against in my youth were Windows 95 and Windows XP. Obviously, plenty of computer interface history predates the panel-style design we’re so familiar with now, and Microsoft has announced fresh efforts to preserve this. Microsoft has shared the source code…
The winter doldrums are officially over and the cozy games release calendar is showing signs of serious spring downpour. I’m tracking a total of 27 swell-looking cozy games this month and, as always, that’s definitely not everything that’s out there. You can’t blame me for missing a hidden object game or two when those things…
Only recently did we swap out the internet’s most beloved egg-shaped mouse, the Logitech G305, as our pick for the best budget wireless gaming mouse, with the Mchose G3 V2 Pro. Although the G3 V2 Pro shares the same eggy shape—it’s a G305 ‘clone’—the Logi mouse is simply a little dated compared to the G3…
We just got our first look at the upcoming Resident Evil movie which is being directed by Zach Cregger yesterday, and despite looking surprisingly good fans seem to be wondering how exactly it fits into the canon of the games. “My rule for this movie was to try and make a movie that felt like…
With the vast majority of handheld gaming PCs using an AMD chip to handle graphics duties, users have been mostly limited to using FSR upscaling to give frame rates a healthy bump. However, with its latest update, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X now offers Microsoft’s Auto SR as a different option, and this upscaler…
The Steam Controller is the first of Valve’s 2026 hardware triumvirate to see the light of day, with the pad launching on May 4 this year. We’ve had our hands on the new controller, and have been really impressed with it, but it’s hard not to think about the hardware that was revealed alongside it:…
Regular readers of PC Gamer dot com slash author slash Joshua dash Wolens will know that, so far as I’m concerned, no videogames news is as exciting as “An old game is getting a patch for some reason.” Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 hitting 2.7 out of nowhere? Ecstasy. Pillars of Eternity getting turn-based mode?…
Capcom’s got a huge collection of big-name franchises, amassing them like Infinity Stones in a way that would make any game publisher jealous, and the latest addition to that roster is Pragmata. Sure, it was never going to top the likes of Resident Evil—which just revealed a trailer for its new (potentially good) movie—or Monster…
Steam player counts are an odd metric. They can be a neat insight into a game’s initial popularity (at least on PC), and a handy way of gaining some kind of ballpark on games that keep their active playerbase numbers closer to their chest. But they’re also unceremoniously used to throw games under the bus—declaring…
