RAM prices have been, uh—bad. You can keep track of them yourself via the work of our diligent hardware team, but the rampant use of generative AI by big tech has led to such sharp increases, you could basically watch them climb in real time. This has also impacted Larian, of all people. That’s per…
As if skyrocketing RAM prices wasn’t enough, Kingston’s Datacentre SSD Business Manager Cameron Crandall says to expect rising SSD costs throughout 2026, confirming what we already feared. Why? Crandall, who has worked at Kingston for 29 years, says the company is experiencing NAND wafer price spikes the likes of which have never been seen before….
It might feel like tech news is a stuck record at the moment, with every other headline reporting on the grim effects of the current DRAM supply crisis. And at first glance, a report that Nvidia is planning on cutting discrete GPU production by up to 40% just seems like a case in point. However,…
Dungeons, raids, boss battles? In my MMO? Pshaw, lame. Predictable. Overdone. A glitched-out level one nothing mob minding its own business out in the wintery wilderness?

As part of the show’s marketing various grandees have been doing the interview rounds, including Todd Howard, who’s now served…
Hades 2 didn’t make it onto our Game of the Year ranking—falling short of being our Best Roguelike in lieu of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Despite my best efforts, mind, so I am once again forced to make it my personal pick for the second year in a row. The main thing that set it…
The Deciphering the Data quest in Arc Raiders is arguably one of the easiest they added with the new Cold Snap update, but you might still get tripped up by the second part of it. Initially, you’ll have to head to the Spaceport and use the Magnetic Decryptor to interact with a terminal in Fuel…
Seems like everywhere you look there’s a fresh scam on the hardware marketplace, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for even the most vigilant PC Gamer to avoid. Case in point, one unlucky shopper thought they were getting DDR5 RAM at a decent price, only to have sticks of DDR2 memory with shoddy printed labels mimicking…
