A Japanese analytics agency, Patent Result, has published this year’s rankings of domestic game and entertainment companies by the ‘strength’ of patents they hold, via Automaton. Patent Result values a company’s quality over quantity and the strength of the ideas being brought to the table, so the ranking is based on both “the quantity and…
We’ve been reporting plenty on the ongoing memory shortage, supposedly thanks to the AI boom, including data indicating that prices went up 30% in a week and 170% in a year. Now it seems things have gotten so bad, at least one retailer in Japan is actually placing restrictions on purchases. PC Ones announced on…
Bethesda released a Creations Bundle for Fallout 4 yesterday as part of its tenth anniversary celebrations, adding 150 player-created items for the not-so-low price of £17.99. Unfortunately, Bethesda appears to have dropped the birthday cake on its way to the party, as players report some pretty serious issues with the Creation Bundle and its contents….
Arc Raiders is full of excellent secret loot spots, and I’m not just talking about the places hidden behind locks. The only problem is that everyone else in the game also has access to them, so you have to get ahead of the loot locusts by discovering some more obscure locations full of great resources….
I know it shouldn’t really be a factor, but learning that an actor or other celebrity is a PC gamer makes me take notice. I remember the furore when everyone discovered Henry Cavill was a PC gamer, for instance. So I have certainly noticed Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, because Jacob Elordi, the actor who plays…
300 nits and 500 Hz. Pay close attention to those two numbers, because they give the new MSI MPG 271QR X50‘s game away. Yup, this 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitor packs the very latest 4th gen Samsung QD-OLED panel technology. A new generation of OLED panel is always exciting, but how much of an upgrade is…
It’s been nearly two years since I reviewed the Kinesis Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB, but it’s still been our top pick for the best ergonomic gaming keyboard you can buy. While there are arguably more ergonomic options on the market, or simply ones with more gaming features, the Freestyle Edge is a near-perfect blend of…
Give PC gamers a shooter, and they will extract the movement tech locked within it. Arc Raiders is an intentionally hefty shooter that rewards positioning and stealth over lightning-quick reflexes, but players are still finding techniques that speed you up or assist a daring escape. If you want to add a little spice to your…
I’ve fallen hard for Tavern Keeper, a sim where you manage an inn in a fantasy realm filled with halflings, orcs, and elves, serving drinks, cooking meals, and dealing with occasional devastating fire or insect infestation. Despite only entering early access just last week (after more than a decade of development), it’s already beloved among…
The most notable thing about this year’s list of PC Gamer’s highest review scores is what doesn’t appear on it. Many of the games that are in the running for one of our Game of the Year awards aren’t represented, including Elden Ring Nightreign, Battlefield 6, Europa Universalis 5, Arc Raiders, and Clair Obscur: Expedition…
