Hello and welcome to another great installment of ‘why would you want to game on that?’ where I try to play PC games on something that’s not really designed for it. This time, it’s the MacBook Neo, Apple’s low-cost ($599/£599) laptop that runs on the processor from an iPhone 16 Pro. As such, it has…
Samsung, TSMC, SK hynix, even Intel—you’re likely already familiar with the usual suspects of semiconductor manufacturing. Micron Technology is far from an underdog running with this pack, having held a steady position as one of the top 10 leading semiconductor companies in the world for years now.

According to Alinea Analytics (via Eurogamer), Death Stranding 2: On the Beach sold 425,000 copies in its first week on PC. Add that to the 1.6 million it racked up on PlayStation 5, and that brings Death Stranding 2 over two million copies sold so far. Which is nothing on the 20 million players director…
Does a tactics game need a story? Does it even need to look good? Greg Foertsch, creative director on the upcoming XCOM-like Star Wars: Zero Company, certainly thinks so. The former XCOM dev dove into his thoughts on the genre in a recent conversation with PC Gamer associate editor Ted Litchfield. While it might seem…
It’s no secret that layoffs often upend lives, but a particular pain point for workers in the United States is that it’s exceedingly common to only have health insurance through your employer.
