Chris Roberts hopes Star Citizen’s launch will be ‘almost as big an event’ as Grand Theft Auto 6, still targeting 2026 for its Squadron 42 singleplayer campaign

by

Star Citizen is unique among videogames. It’s been in development for well over a decade—hell, it was a decade ago that Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, and Mark Hamill got on board—yet still has no release date. It’s also raised more than $858 million in crowdfunding (yeah, you read that right), yet the money is still … Read more

It’s kind of weird that Helldivers 2 isn’t in Steam’s big third-person shooter sale, but there are plenty of other great deals so I don’t really miss it

by

Most of the time, I’m an FPS guy: third-person shooters tend to lack the immersive qualities of first-person bang-bang, and the weird over-the-shoulder perspective makes aiming a headache (which I am sure has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t play many TPS games). But every now and then one comes along that’s … Read more

Corsair Xeneon Edge review | PC Gamer

by

Corsair is not necessarily known for its monitors. Its big thing has always been the memory market, but the company has also successfully broadened its horizons into PSUs, peripherals, cooling, and almost everything that goes into building a gaming PC. But it was also one of the first to hit us with a bendable OLED … Read more

After running an OLED monitor for 533 days, seven hours, and 22 minutes straight, MSI claims the effects of burn-in on its displays are ‘basically none’

by

OLED burn-in is one of the biggest anxieties around OLED monitors, behind, well, the price. We’ve seen people run their screen for a year, then 15 months to see if it would cause problems, but until now, we have not seen someone do it for longer. Well, MSI has recently run a monitor for three … Read more

Gears of War: Reloaded PC performance: The updated graphics are easy work for any desktop GPU from the past six years but they’re still enough to give handhelds grief

by

If you were hoping that Gears of War: Reloaded was going to be like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, then I have a bit of bad news for you. It’s essentially 2016’s Ultimate Edition of Gears of War, but with better lighting and textures—everything else, including meshes, animations, and the overall gameplay, is exactly … Read more

I got my hands on Nvidia GeForce Now’s new RTX 5080 upgrade and I couldn’t tell the games weren’t running locally, but 4K with frame gen was a little laggy

by

Nvidia recently announced its “biggest launch in GeForce Now RTX” history which includes an upgrade to RTX 5080 performance, and last week I got some hands-on time with the new and improved game streaming service. As a big proponent of local, discrete, good ol’ fashioned hardware, I wasn’t quite expecting how good it feels to … Read more

Crusader Kings 3’s new DLC has a release date and even more opportunities to be murdered spectacularly by your vassals

by

The thing about monarchs is they are, on the whole, very keen for you to know they’re monarchs. Thus the crown, the ermine, the jewellery, the palaces and, most of all, the coronations. Whether it’s the Pope dumping a crown on Charlemagne’s head in 800 CE, Napoleon getting ideas above his station in 1804, or … Read more
