PC Gaming
It seems we can’t catch a break lately when it comes to PC gaming hardware. All thanks to the global memory shortage, of course. Now, according to information Benchlife claims to have received, Nvidia is raising prices for its GDDR6 as well as GDDR7 GPU kits. That means the RTX 5050 and some RTX 40-series…
Amazon really confounded us all last month when, following the successful launch of 007 First Light, Amazon Gaming general manager Jeff Gattis mused that sequels would be “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios.” Given that so many people—barring one uncontroversial and universally beloved PC Gamer writer—rather liked IOI’s Bond game, it was…
Human ingenuity is a powerful—sometimes terrifying—thing. Throughout history, no matter how basic the tools available to us, we have always found a way to build the weird obsessions that appear in our minds. You know, like Stonehenge, or the Pyramids, or Doom (1993). No, really. In a recent chat with Jesse Petrilla on YouTube, id…
PC gaming isn’t always the most inclusive space. Besides the high price of everything from components to games, standard gaming peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse can exclude lots of folks with limited mobility. An expanding array of assistive devices is attempting to bridge that gap. Augmental describes itself as a company specialising in…
As someone who frequently finds themselves embroiled in gargantuan, branching RPGs and spends far too much time in live service romps, I really appreciate a game I don’t need to dedicate my life to—a nice palette cleanser that’s one and done. And it looks like Star Wars Zero Company falls into that category. In a…
Hideo Kojima sure has been thinking about death a lot lately. Though he’s a pretty spritely 62 years old, the Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator has made our pages recently for things like: talking about deciding to make Physint after a brush with death in 2020, making a game where you get old and…
New research from Counterpoint corroborates that the PC market has finally been impacted by the memory crisis to the extent that global shipments have gone down for the first time since the first quarter of 2025. In the second quarter this year there were 4% fewer global PC shipments than the same time last year….
1,474,560 bytes may sound like a lot for those unfamiliar with the realities of modern data storage, but it amounts to a single 3.5-inch floppy disk. The hey-day of such a relic of physical media has long since passed, but floppy disks obviously still hold a certain allure for some judging by a certain Korean…
Star Wars Zero Company developer Bit Reactor is made up of former XCOM veterans, a series which has a pretty lively modding scene, especially XCOM 2, which supports modding with official development tools. It’s even had its fair share of Star Wars mods over the years that completely transport it to a galaxy far, far…
Over the last few months, Framework has been doing a pretty good job of keeping RAM prices for its modular laptops/mainboards/desktops from climbing too high as a result of the global memory shortage, though storage hasn’t fared quite so well. And now, RAM unfortunately isn’t faring so well, either. The company explains in its monthly…
