This weekend, the Stop Killing Games movement reached a critical milestone to become a European Citizens' Initiative, but not everyone is on board. Video Games Europe, a trade association representing game developers and publishers in the EU, released a statement on Friday pushing back against Stop Killing Games.Video Games Europe said in its statement, "We appreciate the passion of our community; however, the decision to discontinue online services is multi-faceted,...

The best gaming laptops in 2025 can finally be the do-anything notebooks we've always wanted them to be. As well as being just as capable 3D rendering in Blender, or thrashing the GPU with generative AI, now they're not just frame rate-chewing gaming monsters when plugged into the power socket, they're machines that can game when running on battery, too.The new Nvidia GPUs paired up with either AMD's mighty Strix...

First reported by Eurogamer, former Forza content coordinator Fred Russell has stated on Facebook that the Forza Motorsport series has been effectively killed by Microsoft's most recent wave of mass layoffs, but that the Horizon spinoff series will continue. Russell left Forza developer Turn 10 in 2016, but appears to still have inside contacts at the company."Turn 10 Studios has shuttered the Forza Motorsport space and the team is no...

The PC Gamer team and I have spent many a long day parking our posteriors on the finest seats around—and have also twisted our spines in many of the worst—to bring you the definitive list of the best gaming chairs you can buy in 2025. We've also spoken to a team of experts to help guide us in what to look for in terms of proper ergonomics, too, so we're...

Almost four years after its initial release, Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most popular Microsoft operating system. That's not much of a surprise with only a few months left before Windows 10 officially loses support on October 14, 2025.Even so, it's a crucial turning point for Microsoft, which has seen slow adoption of Windows 11 over the past few years. It looks like that's finally changing...

I mostly enjoyed RoboCop: Rogue City when it launched in 2023, by far the best of developer Teyon's roster of licensed shooters based on classic '80s action films. It did have one amusing problem as an FPS though, namely that RoboCop's signature Auto 9 was so good it made virtually every other available weapon redundant.RoboCop fans would probably say that's how things should be, and from the perspective of respecting...

"What if we recreated this game in that engine?" is a classic modding conceit, up there with "What if Stalker was even more miserable?" and "What if this character had no clothes on?". In fact, I'm surprised it's taken 25 years for someone to stick Halo's multiplayer into Half-Life. It's the sort of harebrained scheme I would have eagerly read about on Planet Half-Life back in 2006.Regardless, all credit to...

It's beyond a cliche to point out that games' TV and film adaptations consistently sucked for decades before there were any good ones, and frankly, it's getting harder to remember that time. One of the best examples of how things have gotten better in recent years is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—or as I like to remember it, the first time I wondered if I should reinstall Cyberpunk 2077 (an impulse senior editor...

There's a term in tabletop gaming: "beer and pretzels." It's an epithet you'll find tacked on to any game best played with unserious intentions and inebriants aplenty. I've described Deep Rock Galactic to friends as a "beer and pretzels" sort of horde shooter, so I don't know why it never occurred to me that one of the best co-op games on Steam would also make a great party-friendly board game....
