Overwatch’s favorite diminutive engineer Torbjörn might be getting a throwable turret and losing Molten Core according to an interview VG 24/7 did with the game’s Principal Designer Geoff Goodman. A…
You know where’s a really great place to build a dungeon? Under the ocean. Sure, there’s the bends, flesh-rending sharks, and a severe lack of daylight with which to contend, but you can get some really great deals on real estate down there and won’t have to worry about sewage bills. Black Desert is thinking along these lines with its...
What are the best-selling games in the Steam charts in this week 29 of 2018? Battle royale games continue their PC gaming dominance, and PUBG is back on top.
Every week PCGamesN recount the highest performing titles on Valve’s platform, from the ten Steam top sellers to the Steam games with the most concurrent players. Why? Because knowing what games people are flocking to is useful for discovering new titles and reminding us of the ones we really ought to have tried by now.
The first portion of this weekly roundup focuses on Steam sales - that is to say the games and DLC that are selling like proverbial hot cakes. We pull these entries from the Steam store itself, under the global top sellers page. The second part of our Steam charts rundown looks at concurrent players, which gives us some insight into the most played games of the past week.
No Man's Sky's NEXT update rolls out next week. Billed by the devs as its "largest so far", it brings with it overhauled graphics, a new third-person perspective and full multiplayer support. Read Pip's words on what it's like to explore No Man's Sky Next with three other people, and know that a "very light" multiplayer component was envisioned, but spiked, before launch.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer Bluehole has apologised for an in-game helmet design some fans found offensive.
The item, a pilot's helmet available in the game's mobile version, bore the Japanese rising sun flag - a reference to the country's imperial army and its World War 2-era military aggression.
It's a flag seen to be offensive by many Korean and Chinese people, BBC News and Bzit reported. Bluehole is based in Korea, and PUBG has a massive Korean and Chinese audience.
Toshiba and Western Digital's rather shaky joint venture in Japan has finished up development of a 1.33 terabit QLC NAND chip, which could prove very useful to gamers. WD is prepping consumer-facing SanDisk drives fitted with the latest storage tech for volume production before the end of the year.
As storage requirements have skyrocketed over the past few decades so, too, has the need for super speedy memory tech that can keep up with modern computing power. Unfortunately, this tech can be hugely expensive per-GB compared to high-capacity platter drives, so most of us gamers have been fairly lackadaisical with investing heavily in SSD storage for anything other than our chosen OS and a couple of select games.
Need an SSD to supercharge your OS install? Here are the best SSDs around.
Bethesda game director Todd Howard seems like a hospitable guy who is happy to partake in interviews and give grand tours of the Bethesda’s offices. What could possibly spoil his angelicness? Well, just don’t start calling Fallout 76 a survival game - he doesn’t like it.
The seasoned developer made sure to express his resentment for how the term ‘survival’ has been used to describe Bethesda’s next entry in the Fallout universe. His issue is that he doesn't think Fallout 76 falls into the same category of game as those that belong to the survival genre.
“We avoid the word ‘survival’, because people’s minds immediately go to DayZ and Rust and certain other games, and those comparisons are not really accurate for what we’re doing,” Howard explains in an interview with The Guardian.
Buying everything in The Sims 4 is a game in itself - a collect-a-thon that requires expert knowledge in the field. Like a jewel appraiser, the Sims 4 expert can look at a DVD case and - ah, do you see? - observe the subtle but telltale signs that distinguish a Game Pack from a Stuff Pack. By the end of this article, that expert will be you.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing add-ons according to whatever pops up on Origin and takes your fancy. But if you want to know the whole Sims 4 landscape before deciding where you land - or are simply curious about how much you could spend on one management game, if you wanted to - then read on.

On the verge of expanding into a full multiplayer experience, No Man’s Sky has rocketed back into the spotlight with July 24th’s NEXT update. In many ways, it’s absolutely amazing that the space game has reached this point considering its abysmal start in 2016 and harsh community criticism over a then-broken game. The Guardian scored a rare interview with creator...
