Despite the surge in Overwatch players since Blizzard's decision to drop the 2 and take the hero shooter in a new direction earlier this year, the noise around its MOBA-inspired Stadium mode has died down. And so has its popularity, which has prompted a halt in development plans according to a new blog post by game director Aaron Keller.Keller provided daily player counts for each mode as of June 28....
Christopher Nolan's long-awaited epic adventure film The Odyssey opens this weekend, and I won't be there to see it because the IMAX theater near me is already sold out except for those really terrible seats way down in front.Which is fine, really: at a running time of two hours and 53 minutes, I'm much more likely to be thinking about how badly I need to pee than focusing on Matt...
No matter how smart you are, there's always room for a little childish fun. Or an ominous threat to your rivals, one of the two. Ex-Microsoft engineer Dave Plummer interviewed the chief architect and designer of Windows NT, Dave Cutler, on his YouTube channel back in 2023, and I've just got around to the highlights after he reshared it on X.By highlights I mean, the juicy stuff. Plummer kicks off...
Although the RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, it's less of an upgrade compared to the RTX 4070 Super. DLSS 4.5 just about tips the balance in favor of the newer model, and it's now about the cheapest it's been all year right now.Key specs: 6144 shaders | 2542 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR7RTX 5070 price check: Amazon $629.99 | Newegg $599.99...
While I spent much of 2025 obsessed with Blue Prince, PC Gamer's 'best design' GOTY award winner, it wasn't the only killer puzzle game to release near the beginning of last year. The Roottrees are Dead, a game mostly spent sitting at a computer (yours, and also a virtual one) sussing out what happened to a sprawling family. It's not the first game to use that sort of interface to...
Without naming names, I feel like we all have a pretty good idea which games, or game series, produce a ton of DLC. You can probably think of a dozen or so off the top of your head that have a strong reputation for regularly releasing paid add-ons, right? But how deep does your knowledge of DLC really go?Let's find out with a quick game of Hi-Lo, or maybe you...
In a rare reversal of live service demise, a beloved but "dead" live service FPS will not shut down, but instead receive custom server support that ensures it'll be playable forever. Long live Deceive Inc.The story of Deceive Inc. played out like countless other live service games. The PvP Hitman-like shooter launched to good reviews, was beloved by a modest community (including yours truly), and received substantial seasonal updates for...
I like a little doohickie. You know, a thingamabob. A little extra device sitting on your desk that you probably won't use very much, but the design made you buy one anyway.Which is why something deep in my soul yearns for this Codex Micro mini keyboard, even though I have little interest in OpenAI's coding assistant (via Ars Technica). It's been designed in collaboration with Work Louder, and looks a...
Even a few months after it launched, we still haven't gotten tired of seeing the wild stuff you come up with in Crimson Desert's sprawling sandbox. That's why our latest monthly winner of PC Gamer Clips is yet another great Crimson Desert video—and that's why the person who sent us that clip just won $500 in Amazon gift cards.If this is the first you're hearing about PC Gamer Clips, it's...
I was born in the early '90s, and thanks to a life marked by periodic socioeconomic turmoil, I've come to accept—as any reasonable person would—that blatant dysfunction is the hallmark of a healthy and developed economy. The free market doesn't have seatbelts or brakes, and that's why it works. If there's any wreckage that might say otherwise, we're driving too fast to see it.But even though I've learned that business...
