From the moment it launched, Crimson Desert has been a big hit with PC gamers with AMD or Nvidia graphics cards. For those with Intel GPUs, it’s been a completely different story. But there’s now a little more light at the end of the tunnel, as the newly released drivers claim to solve flickering problems…
It’s been seven and a half years since Valve first released Proton, a software compatibility layer that allows games developed for Windows to run on Linux-based operating systems, such as SteamOS. Since that time, Proton has been regularly updated, and the latest v11.0 beta release packs a whole host of fixes for games. However, Valve…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was our game of the year for 2025, and I personally hailed it as a “New RPG classic” in our KCD2 review. Why? Because you can kiss Hans. There’s some stuff about emergent, systemic gameplay; an uncompromising design vision; and a well-told, politically complex story in a setting no one else…
Do you ever see the word imposter or sus and cold shivers run down your spine? Well same, and we all have Among Us and its astoundingly large reach to thank for that. It seemed like everyone was playing the social dedication party game back when it released, and especially during Covid, but it seems…
The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot is a very fitting name for the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic-inspired sandbox action game by solo developer Stéphane Le Roy. You sure do a lot of kicking: punting enemies off cliffs, booting their weapons out of their hands, and even lobbing barrels at them. But there’s a lot…
Here at PCG towers, we’ve recently been sorting through some of our old treasure hoard of magazine issues, including interviews with many of the industry’s leading figures. One that recently jumped out to me was a 2008 interview with John Carmack, at which time he was still at id Software, around the launch of Quake…
Meta is increasing the price of the Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets. It says this is down to the high costs of components, namely memory, and the change will affect refurbished units, too. “We’re making this change because the cost of building high-performance VR hardware has risen significantly,” Meta says in a blog…
Last October, Intel launched its Panther Lake mobile processor architecture, and when we got our hands on a Core Ultra Series 3 CPU several months later, we were greatly impressed by its gaming chops. Now it’s back again with Wildcat Lake: all the best parts of Panther Lake, but cut down to a kitten-sized little…
On paper, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB makes a whole lot of sense. I was particularly impressed by the RX 9060 XT 16 GB when I tested it last year, and the 8 GB version is usually substantially cheaper. In fact, out of all of AMD and Nvidia’s current-generation graphics cards, it’s…
It’s not often that I write about a refresh of a vendor’s gaming laptop portfolio, and it’s simply because there’s rarely anything new to report. A slightly better screen here, a mildly faster processor over there: small changes are pretty much par for the course. But in an announcement for its new Raider and Crosshair…
