My, how the world can change in a year. The previous version of the Razer Blade 16 shot to the top of our best gaming laptop guide upon its release in 2025, thanks to its fantastic chassis design, great performance, and battery-powered gaming abilities, among other virtues. Yes, it was hugely expensive. But thanks to…
MSI has just announced the Pro Max OLED 271UPJW12, and if you aren’t a monitor wizard who can make sense of all those numbers, that’s a new 27-inch 4K inkjet-printed OLED monitor. If you are unfamiliar with what that means, inkjet printing is a cheaper process than the traditional deposition process used by LG and…
We’re working on what’s next for PC Gamer, on pcgamer.com, our magazine, on social platforms, and in video. Gaming is a dynamic, sprawling landscape and we’ve got some great ideas about how PC Gamer best fits into it as this vibrant medium continues to evolve. What’s essential, of course, is that we better understand you…
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be getting its first big proper chunk of DLC soon, and in addition to nixing those weird microtransactions that did more harm to word-of-mouth than the actual game, it’s also slated to be getting a hard mode difficulty for players who have everything maxed out. That’s per a Q&A featured on…
Valve’s wireless VR headset, the Steam Frame, doesn’t yet have a nailed down release date beyond the vague window of ‘later this year’. I’ve got a hunch it’ll drop soon though—and not because I put any stock in the Steam Frame subreddit’s wild release date rituals. No, I’m instead feeling optimistic because both Lepton and…
I played first-person co-op puzzle game Big Walk with strangers back in March and had an absolute gas. Naturally, it’s even better with friends: in two long sessions with my PC Gamer pals Tyler and Morgan, we’ve solved over a dozen puzzles, had twice as many laughs, and as you might expect, done a heck…
Noctua is one of the very best fan makers on the market, but introducing its fan into the Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse seemed to involve a truly horrible sequence of fan tests. Noctua has “custom-built torture-test rigs”, all designed to put fans through their paces to see if they can withstand how the…
If you’ve ever felt like your bike trainer has a disturbing lack of Rocket League or Forza Horizon, you are in luck. One app called Deck de France can let you use your bike as a controller for games, though it’s pretty limited so far. Shared on GitHub (via Hackaday), Deck de France is technically…
If Microsoft gutting its Xbox division, laying off staff, and struggling to give its console a real unique selling point hasn’t quite put you off the brand, you will now have to pay hundreds more for its devices if you live in Europe. As originally spotted over in a Resetera thread, the prices of Xbox…
Final Fantasy 14 isn’t any stranger to crossovers—but Evercold will be a first for the MMO, wherein both the raid series and the alliance raid series (8-man and 24-man raids, respectively) will be crossovers. With the latter being a whackadoodle Evangelion crossover, and the former being a far more reasonable FF7 one. This won’t be…
