Valve has successfully lodged the Steam Winter Sale into the same part of my brain that stores a fondness for shortbread and hot cider. Even if I don’t buy anything, it’s a holiday tradition to at least look. Many of the Steam Winter Sale discounts are the same as or similar to those found in…
Fisch has been going viral for all the right reasons, and there are plenty of codes to redeem to get some additional free items. Since this game is about the relaxing nature of fishing, what better way to soak it in than by getting our hands on some free stuff to make the grind all…
There’s a lot to love in Warframe 1999, the latest major update for the free-to-play scifi action game about magic space ninjas, mutant biotechnical horrors, and more pregnancy than you might expect. The free expansion launched last week, sending players back in time to an alternate-history 1999 to battle alongside—and potentially romance!—a squad of misfit,…
The 2024 Steam Winter Sale kicked off today with a veritable avalanche of savings, and as we always do, we’re putting together a big list of our favorite deals to help you figure out what you want to throw your money at. But we wanted to center this one out right away: Elden Ring is…
Less than a week after Frostpunk 2 won Best Sim/Strategy Game award at The Game Awards, developer 11 bit studios has ended development on a game known internally as Project 8, and laid off a number of employees.

The Steam end-of-year review always throws up some interesting numbers, and with 2024’s stats now out, it prompts some interesting reflections on how we game, both individually and en masse. On a personal level, it turns out I’ve played about 50% fewer games on Steam than last year (I blame Game Pass, emulation, and my…
In 2017, Battle Chef Brigade was the kind of indie hit that’s increasingly rare on the packed Steam store of 2024. The fascinating and novel combination of brawler and match-three puzzler didn’t sell millions upon millions of copies or make its way onto many Game of the Year lists like this year’s Balatro, but it…
Sony has increased its stake in FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa to 10%, becoming the largest shareholder in the business, while the two corporations have entered into a “strategic capital and business alliance” according to a joint press release. It had been rumored for several weeks that Sony was in talks to fully acquire Kadokawa and…
Here at PC Gamer we’re all busy sharing our Steam Replays with each other in Slack, comparing how many games we’ve played, how many ‘cheevos we’ve earned, and how many of us have the word ‘Dwarf’ in our spider graphs—which is at least five of us. The Dwarf genre had a strong 2024! It’s fun…
The Forever Winter is one of the few extraction shooters I’ve clicked with—a post-apocalyptic warzone where you play as insignificant scavengers scurrying across desolate battlefields, trying to find loot while soldiers, cyborgs and building-sized machines duke it out all around you. It’s tough, intense, and keeps on impressing me with its exceptional art design and…
