I gotta hand this one to the suits: I thought gamers might find a $60 price tag on a rehash of a 13-year-old Assassin's Creed game to be a bit much, and apparently I was wrong. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced sold more than two million copies in just one day, and has handily surpassed Steam player counts of newer games in the series, including Assassin's Creed Shadows."Dash my Buttons......
I've developed a bit of a reputation among my coworkers for loving niche, lo-fi indie games that make you feel bad and gross and weird on the inside. I'm flattered to stand out in such a way, but I also don't ever want to be typecast. Anyway, Brno Transit is a game about being trapped underground with your nasty, weirdly sexual boss and neurotic coworkers as reality disintegrates around you.Weird...
First spotted by Kotaku, prolific director Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer, Interstellar) recently gave his takes on AI in filmmaking and the explosive success of Backrooms in an interview with The Telegraph (readers may encounter a paywall). The interview comes as part of the lead up to Nolan's next film, an adaptation of the Homeric epic, the Odyssey."This is why I never bought into the arguments that young audiences’ attention spans are...
We're officially seven months into 2026. First of all, what the hell? I don't know about you, but it feels like this year has absolutely whizzed by despite… not a whole lot happening. Apart from, y'know, an insane number of layoffs and the industry slowly crumbling while a giant GTA 6-shaped asteroid slowly approaches.

Last month at the PC Gaming Show we got to bring you a behind-the-scenes look at Total War: Warhammer 40,000 including glimpses of a battle between the Astra Militarum and orks. The video above, revealed at BiliBili World, is a more detailed look at the same battle in the Armageddon Theatre campaign, and looks sick as hell.Though I'm not convinced my PC will be able to run it. Seeing the...
From the archives: This interview was originally published 10 years ago this month in PC Gamer #293 (UK, July 2016), and conducted not long after the release of Stardew Valley. You can see how developer Eric Barone was just realizing how life-changing Stardew would prove to be, and many of the game's now-beloved features, like multiplayer, were still to come in the future.Also check out out 2025 interview with Barone...
If Steam is struggling to load on your PC or phone, it's not just you. The store is currently struggling, with multiple issues shown on SteamStat.us. Currently the store and community pages are reflecting a "Very Slow" status, with several regional servers overloaded and Deadlock's multiplayer API reflecting an Internal Server Error.

Back in 2013, EVE Online creator CCP Games attempted an ambitious FPS to tie in with its legendary galactic economics MMO. Dust 514 didn't end up having legs—not the least because it was a PS3 exclusive—but the developer, now known as Fenris Creations, didn't give up on the vision.Fenris' London office is carrying on the cherished (in certain circles) memory of Dust 514 with EVE Vanguard, whose developers hope to...
There are, somehow, those of us who still haven't played the hit 2023 RPG Baldur's Gate 3, and I know that because someone asked My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way at a recent concert.As spotted by IGN, the question came via a large paper sign made by fan KatanaLuciana, who recorded the interaction for TikTok. The sign caught the eye of a bandmember, who then tapped Way's shoulder to...
It took all of one day for Marvel Rivals to enrage players after the release of season 9 with a new, unasked for, and slightly confusing patch. It buffed tons of heroes some of which in no way needed a helping hand. "Our temporal scanners have been working overtime, analyzing battlefield telemetry and listening to chatter from you, the community," a blog post explains. "We've seen the meta shifting, and...
