In Monster Hunter Wilds, nobody hunts alone. Not unless you want to, anyway. Multiplayer has always been a Monster Hunter mainstay, although connecting with friends still carries some lingering clunkiness from the series’ earlier years. While Wilds has a few options for bringing along hunting partners, wrapping your head around its lobbies, Link Parties, and…
It’s fair to say that the use of generative AI in game development is not widely liked: Just witness the backlash when its presence is even suspected. On the other hand, it’s not going away, and a significant portion of game developers are already using it in some capacity. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently shared…
Welcome to the annual (except that one year I forgot) PC Gamer computer simulation of the Super Bowl! Today I’m live-blogging the early access physics-driven Football Simulator (using CPU-controlled teams) to perfectly predict the outcome of this Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. I am also going to mess with…
There’s not much we can agree on in this world of strife and tears, but there is one opinion that’s just about universal: YouTube ads suck. Want to watch a video? Watch this ad first. Want to watch another video? Watch this longer ad! Can you click past the ad before it’s over? Maybe—pay close…
Square Enix has just released its financial results for the first three quarters of the financial year (i.e. April 2024 through to the end of December), among which is an impressive uptick in merch sales (thanks, GR+). And the hand-rubbing executives have no problem giving credit where credit’s due: It’s “mainly driven by strong sales…
The second Monster Hunter Wilds beta is here and open to all, but if you played the first beta in late 2024 there’s not a whole lot for you to do this time around. As explained in detail in our beta overview above, Capcom didn’t update this beta build of the game with significant changes…
In a new interview with Bloomberg, Balatro creator LocalThunk revealed some new details about the chaotic poker roguelike’s major gameplay update coming later this year. Now titled update 1.1, publisher Playstack first revealed that more Balatro would be headed our way in 2025 back in August. The famously secretive and anonymous LocalThunk was reluctant to…
MultiVersus may be saying “That’s all folks!” one last time at the end of May, but that doesn’t mean it’s going down without a fight. In fact, it may have just used its dying breath to actually rally a small group of players to come to its defence with its fifth and final season implementing…
The good news out of Warner Bros. Games, according to a new Bloomberg report, is that after the flop of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios is looking to make a new singleplayer Batman game. The bad news, however, is pretty much everything else. It’s been a rough year for Warner. Hogwarts Legacy…
The Nvidia RTX 5080 has been a much-maligned graphics card since its launch. It is a smaller, more power-hungry GPU than its Ada predecessor, and doesn’t really offer a whole lot more silicon than the RTX 4080 Super. Yes, it’s ostensibly the same price, but is only delivering around 15% higher frame rates at 4K,…
