The reveal of DLSS 5 was pretty much the biggest thing to happen in PC gaming last month, and also one of the most contentious. Indeed, our own team reacted with a whole heap of different emotions, from general antipathy to vitriolic ranting. In fact only a few of us were in any way measured…
Galaxy gallery. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has been out in the wild for nearly a week now, so we thought it was only right to take a look at its new faces and see how they match up to their game counterparts. Those with a really good memory might remember that we did something…
There’s been a decent level of buzz around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite chip for a while now. That’s for good reason. It popped up on Geekbench last month, beating its x86 laptop competition by over 30% in single-core performance, and early tests beat out AMD, Intel, and Apple in power. Now we’ve finally seen it…
Rumours around Intel’s next-gen Nova Lake CPUs have multiplied rapidly in recent days.

We’ve got that big Starfield update, those guys off loitering around the Moon, and now even Crimson Desert—a game not renowned for its hardcore space simulation—is getting in on the action as players send Kliff into orbit. As documented by YouTube…

Besides the moment-to-moment shooting, what’s the one thing that’s made Call of Duty the success that it is today? If you ask me, it’s the progression. You level up your account, unlocking new guns as you go, which pulls you into the camo grind, all for you to prestige and do it all over again….
Switch 2 Edition when..? Arc System Works is getting ready to unleash a massive 2.0 update for Guilty Gear -Strive-, paving the way for the Season Pass 5 content while making some significant changes to mechanics, UI, character intros, and more. Unfortunately, however, it seems like the Switch version will be left out entirely. We…
The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is all about pushing technology forward, and we like to bring at least some of that Night City energy to our development process too. Players have been asking about this for a long time, so we’re super excited to finally reveal the details of our free Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation 5…
Remember Striden, the game with the radioactive attack bears and moose artillery? It charmed both PC Gamer editor Tyler Wilde and myself when we saw it in 2024 with its amusingly odd mash-up of Rust, Stalker, and extremely dangerous wildlife. But it wasn’t able to draw in a critical mass of players, and less than…
