Apparently a single month of alpha testing was enough for Blizzard to transition World of Warcraft’s next expansion into a beta. Starting next month, WoW: Midnight will enter its next phase of testing as it nears its suspected release date early next year. Midnight alpha testing started at the beginning of October and brought with…

I keep a pretty close eye on all the games Hollywood is turning into movies, and I’m well aware that just because a development deal is struck doesn’t mean a film will ever get made. Take the Just Cause movie, which was announced way back in 2011 and still hasn’t materialized, or the Beyond Good…

Repo’s Monster Update—that’s literally what it’s called, unless you want to roll with the far more snooze-inducing v0.3.0—is now live on Steam. As promised it’s a big one, with new upgrades, valuables, rooms to explore, and enemies to deal with—and, as PC Gamer’s very own Repo man Lincoln Carter is especially excited about, “butt physics.”…

It looks like Hyper Light studio Heart Machine may have suffered another round of layoffs, as multiple employees are reporting on social media (via Game Developer) that they’ve been let go. The reported job losses come just three weeks after a previous round of layoffs that saw more than a dozen people put out of…

I don’t usually jump into multiplayer shooters to get wrapped up in storylines or lore implications, but Arc Raiders has had that effect on me in the small bursts I’ve played. The extraction shooter makes a strong impression as you step into its post-future, ’70s-tinged sci-fi Italy. Arc Raiders has a unique conceit for a…

Fellowship, the co-op game where you get to endlessly run MMO-style dungeons, didn’t have the smoothest launch a few weeks ago. As things tend to go for online games these days, the servers buckled under the weight of people trying to log in and queue up. Things have settled now and the game is holding…

Usually, when adult videos are discovered on a device, the response is to claim some grander purpose for their existence. Well, Meta isn’t one to bow to convention, apparently, as it has recently struck back at claims that adult videos were used to train its AI models, claiming that they may have been downloaded for…

Things are rough out there, right now, if you’re any sort of queer—particularly in the US. The Trump administration has made sweeping executive orders to harm LGBTQ+ health, attacking gender-affirming care for trans people, and steamrolling anything it can in the name of a bone-headed “anti-DEI” crusade. It’s a nightmare. Which is why Games Done…

One of the most anticipated games of the year, “multiplayer extraction adventure” Arc Raiders is challenging Escape From Tarkov as the extraction shooter du jour. In the words of PC Gamer’s Morgan Park, Arc Raiders built up major buzz with a playtest in early 2025 thanks to its potent mix of “the bones of Escape…

It may seem like a long way away, but Resident Evil Requiem’s launch date is creeping up on us: 120 days and counting. Some fans are already getting ahead by opting for preordering the game well in advance. Now I will say that preorders are generally shunned over here at PC Gamer, as you never…
