Borderlands 4 is here, it’s a hit, and… oh. On PC it continues to be plagued by performance issues, is currently sitting at “Mixed” reviews on Steam, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford still has access to his X account and is still giving out bad advice. Pitchford can’t help himself, but he comes across way…

A good desk can do anything. Well, not everything, but it can hold up a PC, a monitor or two, and give you somewhere to pop your peripherals. In the case of the Grovemade desk, it does all that, while adding a stylish drawer with built-in cable management, and looks effortlessly gorgeous to boot. That’s…

If there’s one kind of AI that’s most relevant to gaming, it would be the so-called ‘world model.’ This is a system that can learn to simulate real-world things, which might allow for ‘easy’ creation of realistic games. And that seems to have been on Elon Musk’s mind, as his xAI has been hiring Nvidia…

I think gaming PCs look pretty cool. I mean, I would. I write about them for a living, I’ve filled mine full of all sorts of RGB goodies, and I’m nearly 38 years old—which means I lost a sense of what was actually cool over a decade ago. For me, however, its the function combined…

I’ve been typing for most of my life—flogging flax so I could afford a dragon longsword in RuneScape, roleplaying in World of Warcraft, and at present, writing multiple articles a day for the good site PC Gamer. I average about 130 words per minute, which isn’t competitive or anything, but I’m pretty nippy compared to…

Should a fellow graphics card fall in the line of duty, it’s down to its fellow soldiers to ensure it makes it back home. Okay, not really. But there’s something genuinely touching about the story of this RTX 5070 Ti, which arrived in a Brazilian workshop with a hole in its PCB, rendering it unusable….

It’s approximately *checks watch* one day until Windows 10 ostensibly gets the chop, so it’s a good job the Media Creation Tool is available for people to use to install Windows 11 and- oh, it’s not available? Welp, I guess that’s that, then. Kidding: If you’ve left it to the final minute to get upgraded,…

Like so many others, I was real dismayed when Aspyr lifted the veil on its upcoming official Deus Ex Remaster and revealed something alarmingly shiny and remarkably bulbous*. This dismay lasted about 10 seconds, at which point I remembered we PC people have access to Deus Ex: Revision (DX:R)—a fanmade and fan-maintained DX1 modernisation you…

Serious Sam 2 just got a meaty patch from the devs at Croteam featuring UI updates, graphical improvements, changes to the multiplayer, and bugfixes. George W Bush is president, and the subprime mortgage market can only go up, up, up, baby! Wait, no, sorry. It is in fact 2025, but all those things I said…

Psychological horror can be one of the hardest genres to get right. Developers either stumble and make a game that just seems too gimmicky to scare anyone, or they manage to hit the sweet spot and create something that’s more than just terrifying—a horror game that’ll stick with you. And from what I’ve seen so…
