I’ve been playing Elden Ring Nightreign since it came out. I’ve killed ice dragons, flying centaurs, and a jellyfish god. What could be so hard about fighting a three-headed dog? Quite a lot, it turns out. The enhanced version of Nightreign’s first boss is easily one of the hardest fights in the game. When he’s…
Today is Tuesday, which means it’s been one week since the last time I (or one of my colleagues) opened the group work chat for PC Gamer dot com and asked, “Hey, is Steam down?” And if it’s a Tuesday, then the answer is always: Yes, Steam is down for its regularly planned maintenance. In…
If there were any concern that Alex Garland isn’t an Elden Ring fanboy, we now have evidence that the movie director is as devoted to FromSoftware’s 2022 epic as the rest of us. In addition to playing the game several times through, he was apparently so eager to make a live-action Elden Ring film that…
Most of the time, I’m an FPS guy: third-person shooters tend to lack the immersive qualities of first-person bang-bang, and the weird over-the-shoulder perspective makes aiming a headache (which I am sure has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t play many TPS games). But every now and then one comes along that’s…
The improbable has happened. Following a lukewarm reception to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s reveal, Activision is walking back its decision to carry forward all Black Ops 6 weapons and skins into the new game. While forward compatibility is generally a popular feature, this is really about Call of Duty’s uglification problem: Many weren’t…
Corsair is not necessarily known for its monitors. Its big thing has always been the memory market, but the company has also successfully broadened its horizons into PSUs, peripherals, cooling, and almost everything that goes into building a gaming PC. But it was also one of the first to hit us with a bendable OLED…
AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs, including the Radeon RX 9070 XT, have been out since February. But only now has AMD revealed that they are based on a clever modular architecture. AMD held a deep dive into its RDNA 4 graphics tech at the Hot Chips 2025 conference yesterday. And perhaps the most intriguing new disclosure…
OLED burn-in is one of the biggest anxieties around OLED monitors, behind, well, the price. We’ve seen people run their screen for a year, then 15 months to see if it would cause problems, but until now, we have not seen someone do it for longer. Well, MSI has recently run a monitor for three…
If you were hoping that Gears of War: Reloaded was going to be like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, then I have a bit of bad news for you. It’s essentially 2016’s Ultimate Edition of Gears of War, but with better lighting and textures—everything else, including meshes, animations, and the overall gameplay, is exactly…
Framework has finally broken the silence on the future of its modular 16-inch gaming laptop, the Framework 16. And the good news is that it actually has one. With AMD essentially exiting the mobile GPU market this generation the company only had one option, and that was to turn to Nvidia. Today, it has announced…
