Sure, Grand Theft Auto has always been about the shooting. The car chases. The seedy criminal activity. But it’s also about looking fly as fuck while you do it. Driving around the city in expensive, tricked-out cars. Nipping to the barbershop for a nicer haircut as you climb the criminal ranks. Spending your eventual riches…
Valve has a new cube coming out, and boy is it pricey. The Steam Machine finally broke cover last Monday, revealing that its absolute cheapest model would still set you back $1,049—for which you can thank the RAM crisis. It caused some consternation, with a lot of people who might have thought themselves day-one buyers…
Rockstar is known for being very weird with its marketing and releases, telling us as little as feasibly possible. It can afford to, I suppose. We’re all gonna be tuned in and coughing up the cash for GTA 6 anyhow—and what a lot of cash it is. While GTA 6 is launching on November 19,…

Grand Theft Auto 6—which you would be forgiven for thinking is a videogame, but is actually a civilisational event on par with man’s exile from Eden—got a big infodump today, ahead of its preorders kicking off. One smidge of that infodump? A treasure trove of new screenshots to market the game’s pricier Ultimate Edition, showing…
Well, gamers. It’s been months of rumours and analysts offering their thoughts on what Grand Theft Auto 6 was going to cost. The big $100 has been thrown around a bunch in that time, despite living in a world where normal videogames cost $70. In this morning’s meeting with a couple fellow PC Gamer writers,…
It’s easy for us, sitting in our chairs of critique and our long, weary experience with the live service wringer, to decry the model as something inherently toxic for the industry. And yet we participate in a society—I mean, er—still play them. And while monetisation’s gone far off the reservation in recent years, leaving us…
The GTA 6 pre-orders are going live soon, letting you pre-purchase your chosen edition of the game for when it launches in November. You might be wondering why there’s so much fuss around a pre-order, but since GTA 5, a GTA release has become a once-in-a-decade global phenomenon, even if it isn’t confirmed when we’ll…
While Vampire: The Masquerade is the obvious option when you want to play a TTRPG where you get to be a vampire, the problem is you need a full table of pretend bloodsuckers to make it work. If you’re the only wannabe vampire in your group and everyone else would rather be a more typical…
