Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. It’s had a good run, having been with us since July 2015, replacing the dreadful Windows 8 with an interface that harked back to Windows 7 and previous versions of the operating system rather than any tablet-aping fullscreen experiments. Public perception of Windows releases since…
I think it’s fair to say that PC Gamer and Hitman: Blood Money have a long, storied relationship. Jim Rossignol once said that ‘I never get tired of Hitman: Blood Money’s inventiveness’, while Tom Francis described the assassination sim as ‘one of the richest, most open-ended and enduringly satisfying games ever.’ That sounds like high…
The Witcher 4’s cinematic reveal trailer was an indulgent six-minute-long saga in which Ciri, the new protagonist of the series, went on a sidequest. The whole thing had the vibe of the Killing Monsters trailer for The Witcher 3, or that one quest where the villagers have been offering sacrifices to leshen. It begins with…
The really big news in Helldivers 2‘s surprise Omens of Tyranny update is the Illuminate invasion, but another exciting addition has come with those mind-controlling aliens: a car. Specifically, Helldivers 2 now has a four-person Fast Recon Vehicle inspired by the off-road antics you see in PUBG. There’s a mounted gun on the top, and…
Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke took the stage at The Game Awards, not to claim an award this time but to present one—the biggest award of all, in fact, Game of the Year. But he used his time in front of the microphone to first share some thoughts about the current state of the videogame…

But among the familiar sights of the roguelike spinoff’s bizarro Limgrave, there was an even deeper bit of deja vu: The return of a previously one-of-a-kind boss from…
Following a Game Awards bit in which Laura Bailey of Critical Role fame pretended not to know who Aaron Paul was, praising the Breaking Bad actor for being in “the greatest show of all time, The Wire,” the pair announced Dispatch, a “superhero workplace comedy” where we’ll send superheroes out to intercept crimes while chasing…
We were expecting some major reveals during this year’s 10th anniversary of The Game Awards and sure enough, Geoff pulled through with a stacked lineup of announcements—some of which even we weren’t anticipating. We saw tons of hotly anticipated new games and returns from favorite creators. The studio behind It Takes Two revealed another co-op…
This summer Dying Light fans got some news of the “both good and bad” variety. The bad news was that the DLC they were expecting for Dying Light 2 wasn’t going to be coming after all. The good news was they were getting a whole new standalone game, and it was free if they’d already…
“One more thing,” says Big Poppa Geoff Keighley near the end of The Game Awards, and that’s how we know we’re in for something that cost a lot of money. Since Hideo Kojima and Josef Fares already had their time on stage, that means it’s time for Naughty Dog to get some love—this is the…
