Los Santos CustomsI'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.Grand Theft Auto 6 will, I am assured, have the greatest NPCs of all time. They will be perfect human simulacra,...
Critical Hit(Image credit: Future)Welcome to Critical Hit, where I (or someone else on the PC Gamer team) celebrate and lament all things videogame music, audio design, and the ways our favourite games make our ears tingle.Last month, Final Fantasy 10 turned 25 years old—a fact that has utterly shaken my perception of the passage of time, leaving me to slowly decay into a pile of dust. It remains one of...

Nodusfall isn't Elden Ring, Monster Hunter or a typical HoYoverse game—it's something very different
Nodusfall has been Gamescom's biggest surprise: a new co-op action romp from the masters of gacha, HoYoverse, which seemingly does away with so much of what we all associate with the developer. HoYoverse's games are normally vibrant anime affairs full of waifus and himbos waiting to be collected by thirsty players. Even as the genres and systems change from game to game, the studio has a distinct style and design...
Games get remade for all sorts of reasons, but I think you'd struggle to find one with as heartwarming a basis as this. The Battle of Olympus—a side-scrolling platformer originally released on the NES in 1988, is getting a remake early next year created by its original husband-and-wife team.Admittedly, that statement is slightly misleading. Per Time Extension, programmer Yukio Horimoto and artist Reiko Oshida (now also Horimoto) were not actually...
Ever since the Control mod appeared I've been enjoying jamming the released DLSS 5 .dll files into a bunch of different games, to greater or lesser effect. Some games it works well in, some it doesn't quite take and you end up with visuals that look a lot like the characters have worms writhing around under their skin.Though, I have to say when I stuck it into the review version...
You know, I do a lot of prattling about videogame music at this humble website PC Gamer dot com. It's practically woven into the fabric of my very being at this point—hugely formative for me growing up, and now I carry little bits of it everywhere. I have half a dozen VGM playlists dedicated to stuff like the gym, relaxing, and locking in at work. I've formed lifelong memories with...
Juggernaut is a forthcoming free-to-play boomer shooter clearly styled after Wolfenstein engine FPSes of yore. It's about shooting huge waves of zombies in flat, pixellated arenas. As far as modern retro shooters go it looks unremarkable, though it will be released alongside the Juggernaut Assets Maker, a paid tool for making your own levels and adding your own assets. "Make it more Japanese" the Steam page promises. "Make it sexier".It's...
Diablo is returning: At BlizzCon today, Blizzard announced that Diablo 5 will be set a century after Diablo 4 in a Sanctuary that has succumbed to the Lord of Terror, Diablo himself.That's not until 2029, though. In the meantime, Blizzard will continue the story of Diablo 4 with seasons, but no more expansions are currently planned for the game."We're all focused on [Diablo 4] seasons and getting to Diablo 5,"...
Heart Machine, the developer of the Hyper Light games and Possessor(s), has laid off "nearly everyone at the studio" following the collapse of a deal with an unnamed publisher for funding of its next project."I have very difficult news today," studio founder Alx Preston wrote on LinkedIn. "We had been working on an unannounced title, funded by a publisher. This week, they decided to no longer move forward with it....
