Epic Games announced this week that Fortnite is coming to mobile devices, with crossplay support between PC, iOS, Mac, PlayStation 4 and (later on) Android. Xbox One wasn’t mentioned, but the developer has now confirmed that players on Microsoft’s console won’t be left out. In other news, llamas are coming to Fortnite Battle Royale next week. Epic said you’ll find them around the Battle Royale island after next week’s update, and that you’ll interact with them as you would do a chest. Systems de

An anti-cheat update on Thursday began randomly banning innocent players, while the latest patch is creating an equal amount of chaos, causing random crashes and wild framerate fluctuations for some players. “We released a patch yesterday without going through any maintenance to add some new anti-cheat features. However, we know that some players are having compatibility issues, causing the game to crash or are unable to launch the game,” developer Bluehole said on the game’s forums. With the is

If you’re feeling stuck for games to play today, then here’s a suggestion: try Q.U.B.E, the puzzler from 2012 about manipulating coloured blocks with sci-fi gloves. It’s free for the next 24 hours or so, it’ll only take you three hours to complete, and it’s a smart game with lots of good ideas. Don’t expect flashy visuals—its environments are mainly sparse, sterile white rooms punctuated by the coloured blocks, and it definitely lacks a bit of personality. If you try Q.U.B.E and like it enough t

Drew Karpyshyn, the lead writer on both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, has left Bioware, and will be working with a new studio called Fogbank Games, which is headed up by another former Bioware lead writer, Daniel Erickson. Karpyshyn will again be writing novels, but he’ll also be working with Fogbank Games on an episodic, narrative game based on one of 20th Century Fox’s franchises. A number of former Bioware writers are working at Fogbank, so no doubt he’ll feel right at home. In the past, I’v

The lead writer of Bioware’s Star Wars MMORPG The Old Republic will head up a new studio called Fogbank Games, which is ultimately owned by 21st Century Fox. The media giant also owns film studio 20th Century Fox, and Fogbank’s first project is an episodic narrative game inspired by one of the studio’s franchises, which include The Simpsons, Alien, Home Alone and Die Hard. Daniel Erickson will act as studio director—he was the lead writer on The Old Republic and also worked on Dragon Age: Origin

That’s the question we’ve put to the PC Gamer staff in this week’s PCG Q&A, and almost all of us preferred the idea of TV series to films (perhaps because game movies are destined to be dumpster fires forever). So I’d love to see Silent Hill, which is basically an anthology series itself, get the same treatment on TV. It might be hard to find room for a second series, but hey, Bioshock 2 turned out pretty well didn’t it? GG WP.”Jody Macgregor: Team Fortress 2I’m saying Team Fortress 2 because wh

UncleSwagg tweeted on Wednesday that he had been stripped of moderation duties from several official Overwatch Twitch channels, including PlayOverwatch, Overwatch League, and Overwatch Contenders. Harassment is something that Blizzard, the Overwatch League, and the Overwatch team takes very seriously, and we will not hesitate to remove these players from our community,” Blizzard told PC Gamer via email. “He had dozens of albums of nude photographs, the most complete collection in all of the Twit

However, the videogame reel shown at the White House on Thursday is simply disgusting. “I don’t mind violent games. The White House footage certainly neglects context. No Russian, for instance, is a horrific moment that the player witnesses but doesn’t have to directly participate in, which the White House footage doesn’t convey. “Response to my tweet about the violent video game video are coming in fast & furious.

It’s really weird that this happened at the same time, but hey, it’s always good to have new reasons to anticipate the future of PC gaming. Andy Kelly: Snap happyI’m nowhere near far enough into Final Fantasy XV yet to decide whether I love it or not. It’s such a cool idea, and I love the way one of my buds is documenting our journey. Even at this early stage I have a nice collection of snaps, some taken by myself, but mostly by Prompto. James Davenport: I’m sorry, butAt the risk (guarantee) of

of the Los Angeles Valiant is $1,000 poorer as a result of account sharing, which isn’t necessarily against the Overwatch League rules specifically but is a violation of the Blizzard End User License Agreement. “xQc repeatedly used an emote in a racially disparaging manner on the league’s stream and on social media, and used disparaging language against Overwatch League casters and fellow players on social media and on his personal stream,” the league said. But xQc was already facing criticism t

Nippon Marathon nails this aesthetic, though the developer, Andy Madin, has never even been to Japan. All of the game is through the eyes of someone who has never actually been there. Immediately he saw similarities between how the game played and the Japanese game shows he loved. I thought about this idea of, maybe that would actually upset people in the game too and that’s how you get away with it. Nippon Marathon has been getting a lot of feedback in Early Access, and Madin has plenty more pl

If you’ve been thinking of buying something on eBay—maybe, say, some sweet new PC hardware—today might just be the day to do it. Until midnight ET today you can get 20 percent off purchases through a single-use coupon code. You can opt for women’s shoes, patio furniture, or a nice new vacuum cleaner if you like. Personally, I think you’d be better of focusing your attention on PC gaming: Keyboards, headsets, mice, maybe even a game or two. Basically anything with a buy it now option: Tee up your

The new version will add a power button to the mix, and lose the HDMI connector. The point of the Link Box is to provide more power to the headset and enable Bluetooth connectivity. Steve Bowler from Cloudgate Studio snapped some photos of the new Link Box and shared them on Twitter. They clearly show the new power button, along with a mini DisplayPort that he accidentally referred to as an output (it’s actually an input). Most people probably won’t miss the HDMI port.

That being said, Ni No Kuni 2 still isn’t exactly overflowing with graphics settings. I’d like more options and especially more sliders, but Ni No Kuni 2 doesn’t need any tinkering to look gorgeous. Ni No Kuni 2 on max settings. Ni No Kuni 2 on minimum settings. Ni No Kuni 2 on max settings.

If you are in the market for a mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting, G.Skill’s Ripjaws KM570 RGB is on sale right now for $70. G.Skill offers a variety of key switches on this model, though the one that’s on sale features Cherry MX Speed Silver switches.

Adding a bit of intrigue to the whole situation, Bennett says he was tipped to the situation by AMD, which had apparently been shopping the story to other sites. Nvidia stated in a blog post last week that in an “effort to better serve gamers,” it was introducing a GeForce Partner Program (GPP). “The GeForce Partner Program is designed to ensure that gamers have full transparency into the GPU platform and software they’re being sold, and can confidently select products that carry the NVIDIA GeFo

Myst is one of my favorite games of all time and it deserves every plaudit it’s received over the years, regardless of what this guy says. It’s been 25 years, in fact: Myst was originally released in September 1993, meaning that its 25th anniversary is now about six months away. And it appears that developer Cyan isn’t going to let it pass unremarked. Unfortunately, that’s currently all there is to see right now, so what’s actually in the works is—rather like a typical Myst puzzle—anyone’s guess

If you’re ever having a hard time retaking B on Inferno, just build a better sightline. Created by Kinsi55, creator of CS:GO battle royale mod Go 4 The Kill, this mod demonstrates what CS:GO would play like if you could build ramps and platforms as readily as you can in Fortnite Battle Royale. The result is both cathartic and extremely stupid, a strange shooter hybrid baby that combines one of the most hardcore point-and-click skill tests with the goofiest and most accessible battle royale game

When it comes to gaming headsets, we gravitate towards Kingston’s HyperX Cloud Revolver and SteelSeries’ Siberia 350. Both are great options, the first of those two is currently on sale at Amazon. The HyperX Cloud Revolver is marked down to $100 today. In our experience with the HyperX Cloud Revolver, Kingston didn’t trade sound quality for comfort or vice versa—it offers both. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.
