Death Stranding 2’s PC launch on Thursday may have been overshadowed just a bit by Crimson Desert, but as I wrote in my review, it’s a great game, whether you’re in it for the Hideo Kojima story or the delivery sim sandbox. Folks who especially love the latter, though, like PC Gamer’s Morgan Park, almost universally have the same complaint: it’s too easy. Though Death Stranding 2 lets you challenge yourself by making deliveries on foot, the vehicles, upgrades, and shared infrastructure from other players can trivialize making flawless deliveries.For the PC release Kojima Productions added a new difficult option…

Cheap is rarely the first word that comes to mind when thinking about Secretlab, with its premium gaming chairs and desks being more of an investment than a spontaneous purchase. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to buy, as Spring Sale discounts across the Titan Evo and Magnus Pro send prices plummeting, saving you up to $129 / £94. Our current pick for the best gaming chair, the Titan Evo is already hard to beat, with its price being our only real reservation. With up to $100 / £100 off during the festivities, it shrugs off all criticisms, becoming…

Ishtar Games’ Dead in series always involves attempting to help a group survive in a perilous situation through smart choices and character management. Over the years, each entry’s tended to feel better than the last. Both Dead in Bermuda and Dead in Vinland had a lot of potential, when random luck didn’t get you down. With Dead in Antares, we’re seeing the next step in the series. It can be entertaining when things are working. However, between losing two save files so far, issues with important Key of Enlil items disappearing (that’s patched now), and the RNG involved, I couldn’t…

GeForce NOW is bringing the game to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), running this week in San Francisco. While developers build the future of gaming, GeForce NOW is delivering it to gamers.

Last week I sat down with Studio Wildcard co-founders Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak, mostly to grill them about Vin Diesel but also to talk about what’s happening with Ark: Survival Ascended these days. I was surprised when Stieglitz started talking not about dinosaurs but pirates, bringing up another game Studio Wildcard had developed: Atlas.Remember Atlas? The open world pirate survival game was put to sea in December 2018 but had a rough launch, including performance and stability problems that led to heaps of negative reviews. It’s still out there: you can buy it and play it, but unlike Ark:…

Nvidia is reportedly set to restart production of its venerable GeForce RTX 3060 gaming GPU in a bid to find a way for PC gamers to have an affordable but reasonably up-to-date graphics card upgrade over the coming months. For those still stuck on an old GTX-era card, or perhaps with an RTX 2060 or RTX 3050, the RTX 3060 should provide a low-cost performance upgrade that has access to all of Nvidia’s latest DLSS 4.5 tech, other than frame generation. Rising to the top of the most popular graphics card list on the October 2024 Steam Hardware Survey, the…

Verdict The normal switch-replacing inductive, haptic trigger technology in the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike truly feels like the future of gaming mice. However, its benefits only stretch so far, so isn’t yet the ultimate choice for all gamers. Pros HITS technology is much faster than normal switches Independent control over speed and feel of left and right buttons Comfortable, familiar design No more expensive than Logitech’s previous flagship Cons HITS isn’t of much benefit in many games Much lighter mice are better for shooters Expensive It’s not often that PC gaming tech takes a huge stride these days. So…

Intel has officially unveiled its two latest processors aimed at wrestling back a little bit of gaming PC market share from AMD’s dominant Ryzen 7000 and 9000 chips. The new Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus lineup of the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Ultra 5 250K Plus are its “fastest gaming processors ever,” but still aren’t going to topple the almighty Ryzen 7 9850X3D. However, with prices starting at just $199, Intel thinks they’ll offer “more performance per dollar” than rival options. The new 200S Plus range is Intel’s third attempt at turning its Core Ultra 200 range…

Forget gaming mice optimized to within an inch of their life to be as light and high-performance as possible. Set aside PC controllers sculpted for comfort and equipped with thumbsticks tuned for precision. What you actually want is an awkward-looking gaming mouse that can split into two cramped controllers, and that uses a touch pad instead of a scroll wheel. Right? As utterly proposturous as that premise sounds, that’s exactly what a startup called Pixelpaw Labs is looking to build to compete with the best gaming mouse and best PC controllers in the world. It sounds so utterly barmy that…

Many players could choose to skip the game entirely. | Published: Mar 11, 2026 12:45 pm Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch in November this year. While the game will first release with a single-player story mode, Rockstar Games plans to roll out the multiplayer component at a later, unspecified date. That online mode is what millions of players around the world are waiting for. According to Screen Rant, however, new age verification laws in Australia and the United Kingdom could stop a large number of players from accessing…
