You're best chance of getting a good Prime Day RTX 5080 deal realistically lies within a full prebuilt gaming PC. And, thankfully there are some good Prime Day gaming PC deals around right now.I've been casting my eyes around this afternoon and there are four machines that I would recommend taking a look at, and while it would be tempting to suggest that you should just go for the cheapest...
There are two types of players. One type enjoys high-octane gameplay – fluid movement, satisfying gunplay, the thrill of pure destructive chaos. On the other side of the axis are players who like to strategize. They’re driven by a need to optimize for the most efficient outcome. What if I told you there’s a solo developer – Daniel Stubbington – who decided to make a game for someone who has...

This upgraded version of PSSR, rolled out on PS5 Pro earlier this year, means players can jump straight into the cleanest image we can deliver on the platform. The Doom...
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 off Vice City, protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and a lot of guns 'n'...
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, I theorised $80 would probably be the number.Turns out, we were both right. Kinda.In anticipation...
Since Grand Theft Auto first arrived on the original PlayStation in 1997, the series has defined generations of play. We know players are excited for Grand Theft Auto VI, which heads to the state of Leonida — home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond, in the biggest, most expansive evolution of the series yet. Thanks to the close partnership between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto...
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 craving good singleplayer, one-and-done games, it's hard to forget that there was a time where...
I've been keeping my eye on gaming PC deals pretty religiously for the last couple of years, and doubly so during sales events like Prime Day. We're living through a global memory shortage right now, of course, so things aren't exactly peachy out there, but there are still some discounted pre-built systems worth checking out if you're in the market for an upgrade.I'm keeping a big list of all the...

I love the look of Marathon, and I like shooters in general. But extraction shooters? Not so much. I'm not very good at them, for one thing, and the constant pressure to get out with your loot before the timer hits zero is a huge drag. So when Bungie said it was looking at PvE modes for Marathon, you bet my ears perked up.The experimental Sponsored Survival mode introduced earlier...
