Five years after leaving Gears of War studio The Coalition to take the reins of the Diablo series at Blizzard, Rod Fergusson is calling it a day."After five years driving the Diablo franchise with four big launches, it’s time to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what’s next," Fergusson wrote on Bluesky. "I’m proud of what we’ve built and excited for what’s ahead for Diablo, and for...
PC Gamer once declared virtual toilets the secret to understanding the unspoken priorities of a game and the people making it, but I'd argue virtual ladders have even more to say. If you approach from the top, does it wrest away control or let you Wile E. Coyote yourself right off the ledge? Does the game give you a button to slide down like an action hero? Will the back...

I was playing Grounded 2 recently and, in typical Mollie fashion, hurtling through the tutorial like the game was billing me by the minute. I mean, what the hell do I even need to learn? I played the first game, and it's all your basic hand-holding stuff to start out with.Sometimes you just gotta vent. This week, we're airing all our grievances with gaming and computing in 2025. Hit up...
Microsoft, and specifically the Xbox division, has been in a bit of a weird state for some time. With the pivot away from exclusives, a former Xbox team member declared "Xbox hardware is dead", and it's easy to see why. It is moving ever closer to becoming a third-party game publisher, and deals to make Xbox-branded Meta Quests and ROG Ally's certainly feel like moves made by a team slowly...
In the world of cutting-edge technology, we rarely get to see the behind-the-scenes research and development that goes on at the biggest companies. But every now and then, some details get dropped that remind you just how much better our current gear and gadgets can potentially be. Meta's VR division has showcased two such examples, codenamed Tiramisu and Boba 3, and if these represent the future of virtual reality gaming,...

Newcomer Gorn 2 found itself with the number two spot for PS VR2 in the U.S. Check out the full listings below....
I'll be honest, I really thought we'd have more gripes about Microsoft's pervasive operating system as a team. For all the excitement about SteamOS and the still-raw potential of Linux as a gaming platform, pretty much everyone on the PC Gamer team is still running Windows on their main systems. There are certainly some complaints about the big M's latest operating system, and some common complaints, too.Gripes Week(Image credit: Future)We're...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is maybe one of my favourite games of this year—it's certainly in the running—which I hope reassures you that I mean this with all the love in the world. It surprises me not one itty-bitty bit that Guillaume Broche, creative director of the game, says he "likes really sad stories".That's per a recent interview Broche had with BehindTheVoice (seen below). Spoilers for the game's endings to...
