Ever felt lost at sea in the first days of a new job? I’ll admit it—my first weeks at PC Gamer, I had no idea what I was doing (some might say that’s still the case). I was just trying to keep my head above water and not publish anything libellous, or at least nothing…
Spry Fox, the Seattle-based studio behind cozy games like Cozy Grove, got purchased by Netflix back in 2022 when the streaming giant was really trying to get into this whole videogame thing. While the acquisition did bear fruit—an upcoming mobile co-op life sim called Spirit Crossing—Spry Fox is parting ways with its owner after just…
It’s been a grim few months for the world of servers, cloud services, and hyperscalers. With AWS going AWOL in October and Cloudflare doing its best impression of a yo-yo in recent weeks, it would be nice to have some good news to share about that technology sector. Alas, no, as it turns out that…
Let me take you back to the year 2000, perhaps the peak of me naively thinking things were going to be great forever. Smash Mouth’s All Star was constantly on the radio. It sometimes still snowed in October here in Colorado and I’d get a few extra days off school. And I discovered a little…
The Undertaker Remembrance is fairly simple compared to many of the other Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign. There’s only one step that’s likely to trip you up, as you help this corrupted abbess search for the Scholar in Limveld. The reason this step is so hard is because it’s entirely inaccurate; the Scholar is actually…
Arc Raiders has a lot of odd quirks, like various skills not functioning how you’d think, being able to effectively front-flip to avoid fall damage, or even the ability to ride its terrifying machines. Honestly, I thought I’d seen it all at this point. And then I saw a player frozen in time. Completely paralysed…
Earlier this year, Nvidia quietly dropped support for 32-bit CUDA applications in its drivers for GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. While the move had been long planned and not unexpected, the change did have one disappointing outcome: every game that used 32-bit PhysX libraries for visual effects would be forced to either disable it or…
As AI continues to balloon and pull in even more investment, one of the fiercest debates (other than copyright, ethics, and the environment) is about whether or not it’s a bubble. AMD’s Lisa Su has weighed in on the debate. Recently, in an interview with Wired, the AMD chief was asked if she thought AI…
If you’ve got good taste (read: the exact same taste as me), Tim Cain bears a lot of responsibility for some of your favourite games ever. His name is on the original Fallouts, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, and plenty else besides. Alas, he’s been in a state of…
A love of the battles of the past has been the foundation of developer Creative Assembly’s success, so it’s nice to see that the studio is taking care of its own history too. As part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for Total War, four classic games in the series have joined the GOG Preservation Program,…
