Terminally Online(Image credit: Future)This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer's very own MMO column. Every other week, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we've all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice.One interesting trend of the MMO genre is its slow drift towards a seasonal structure. Final Fantasy 14's getting...

Who could forget Dispatch's release and subsequent explosion of popularity, as hordes of gamers gathered to run and romance their own superhero squad; not me. But months later, after stumbling on a new upcoming medieval narrative RPG, those memories came flooding back. Sovereign Tower's Steam demo released a couple of months ago, and I loved it. It follows the same format as Dispatch, except you play as a newly-appointed sovereign...

If you signed up for a spot in the Steam Machine reservation queue, you might want to take a quick look at your email, because the notices for those who made it into the first wave—and those who did not—have been sent.I did not personally order a Steam Machine for several reasons, which in truth can be boiled down to one reason:Yowzah!

Steam is an elephant, and we are all trying to describe it blindfolded. To bring order to this economic chaos, I have curated a list of must-play games—indies, cult hits, no brainer classics, all ones I like personally—that are $5 or cheaper in the 2026 Summer Sale. Five bucks is my threshold for "not a big deal," and unless the economy is even worse than I thought, it's likely yours...

Are you building a gaming PC, or upgrading your existing one after finding a great Prime Day deal? I reckon you might have forgotten something. You'll need a specific screwdriver bit, or some fresh thermal paste, or perhaps even an upgraded PSU to power your fancy new components.I've got you covered. I've built many, many gaming PCs over the past 26 years, so I've spent the morning gathering up the...

I personally use this mug every single day. It keeps your tea or coffee nice and hot with three different temperature settings. The heating element is inside the mug so there's nothing actually hot sitting out on your desk endangering your wires, electronics, or other clutter. Comes in several colors—black is cheaper by a few dollars in this Prime Day deal. View DealI'm not quite the dedicated coffee drinker I...

In its latest videogame-themed, AI-generated meme, the official White House X account has published a Destiny 2 character sheet featuring an unrealistically ripped Donald Trump wielding a Gjallarhorn."Eyes up, Guardians," reads the official tweet. In the image itself, a muscular, Duke Nukem-esque Donald Trump wields the United States flag against a backdrop of fighter jets and a Rolls Royce. In a piece of blunt-edged state propaganda that would have Edward...

Grand Theft Auto 6 now feels quite a bit more tangible—preorders are live, and November is right around the corner. But amid this flurry of information and unrelenting hype came a bit of bad news for the GTA Online crowd: GTA 6 is being pushed as a "singleplayer experience". Despite its impending launch, there's actually been precious little information about the next phase of the madcap online world. Granted, there's...

The 10,000 mAh version of this power bank has rescued me (and those around me) on my travels many, many times. This one's got twice the capacity in a similar, phone-sized chassis. So I bought one.Key specs: 20,000 mAh | Four built-in cables | 22.5 W fast charging support | LED displayView DealThis Charmast power bank is the most useful thing I own. Well, not this one specifically. I've got...

June 25 is a big day: After years of waiting, Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders are finally live! Well, y'know, for some people, anyway.(Image credit: meme-creator.com)But it's a joyous day for us too (and, importantly, in a way that excludes them*) because today also marks the start of the 2026 Steam Summer Sale, the annual discount extravaganza that you're just not going to find on consoles.(*Am I really cheesed about...
