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…
Loot is almost always plentiful in Arc Raiders—except, it seems, when you need to find something specific. The first few missions will have you looking for a battery and some wires, two items that I’ve seen plenty of during my preview and the beta test. But somehow, as soon as I needed them, they decided…
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is probably one of the most Fraser games around—a cross between Crusader Kings’ dynastic intrigue and Total War’s eye-watteringly epic battles, with the cherry on top being that you’re commanding your armies within these battles, participating in the bloody scrum. And next month that bloody scrum is taking to the…
As peculiar Windows bugs go, this one is a doozy. It seems Task Manager in the latest October update for Windows 11 (update KB5067036, which is both currently and mercifully optional) is determined to stick around. Like, really determined. As spotted by Windows Latest on X, if you open Task Manager and then close it…
