Hell Let Loose is a large-scale multiplayer romp where 100 players duke it out over open maps with the assistance of tanks and artillery. This week sees it get its third update since it launched in Early Access back in June, adding Omaha Beach to the map roster. If a weekend spent in sandy trenches sounds like your kind of thing, you can try it now for free. I run up the hill but a slightly different part and then get blown up by a grenade. Hell Let Loose is free to try on Steam until 6pm BST on

We didn’t pick that comparison out of the blue—Corsair’s RAM is intended to coexist next to a third-generation Ryzen processor, and is specifically qualified to hit 5,000MHz in a handful of MSI X570 motherboards. “The new modules have been specifically designed and fully tested to achieve their record-breaking maximum frequency of 5,000MHz on the Ryzen 3000 platform in MSI Meg X570 Godlike, MSI Meg X570 Ace, MSI Meg X570 Unify, and Prestige X570 Creation motherboards using their included automat

(Image credit: Riot Squad (Instagram))Riot Games, the maker of League of Legends, has filed a lawsuit against Riot Squad, an esports organization (that, ironically, does not play League of Legends), over allegations of trademark infringement. “Riot Squad Esports LLC (‘Riot Squad’) has unfairly and unlawfully adopted and exploited the Riot brand name in connection with its marketing, advertising, and promotion of a nascent esports organization that it claims was ‘founded by gamers, for gamers’,”

(Image credit: Pixabay)The pundits who once predicted tablets would be the end of traditional PCs had it all wrong. They have not stopped tracking PC shipments, though, and the latest numbers underscore the resiliency of the PC. Either way, it’s impressive that PC shipments are trending upwards when there are multiple factors that could have pushed things in the opposite direction, primarily CPU shortages and tariffs. “Neither the Intel CPU shortage nor the US-China trade war had a significant i

Chorus is a musical adventure game whose closest relative is probably the exceptional Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, Once More With Feeling. It’s a contemporary yarn, but with gods and mythological beasties hiding in plain sight, and some of them want to know why their pal is dead. The Muse’s power is to draw people into a song, which can be used to manipulate characters and alter reality. These songs play out like musical conversations or arguments, complete with dialogue choices that change

“Blitzchung’s actions to support Hong Kong speak to me far more than I could have imagined. My statement regarding Blitzchung, Hearthstone Grandmasters, and Blizzard.I reference writing from @bmkibler which can be read in full here: https://t.co/wU588CQ9Yk pic.twitter.com/TWKamd7z4SOctober 10, 2019Another caster, Simon “Sottle” Welch, said in a separate statement that he supports Blitzchung but will continue with his casting responsibilities. “I fully support Blitzchung’s right to protest and ha

IO Interactive has announced that it’s working on a new game for console and PC with publisher Warner Bros. Interactive. What, exactly, the game is remains a mystery, and the studio is still recruiting people for the development team. The Hitman developer opened up a second studio in January, which it said would help it “expand our muscles for creating brand-new and exciting endeavours, new universes, new franchises.” While Hitman 2 is still being supported, it received its final mission last mo

TP-Link has answered the call for a more affordable path into Wi-Fi 6 territory with its Archer AX3000 and AX1500 routers, priced at $129.99 and $69.99, respectively. It’s a true generational leap in that it offers more capacity for potentially faster wireless speeds and much better handling of simultaneously connected devices. The higher-end Archer AX3000 is a four-stream Wi-Fi 6 router powered by an Intel dual-core processor. TP-Link’s Archer AX1500 is also a Wi-Fi 6 model, with speeds of up t

Rockstar has added a new game mode to GTA Online called King of the Hill that will pit 16 players, divided into teams, against one another in a battle for dominance across seven different maps. Specifics are a little thin in the announcement—get a gun, grab the high ground is pretty much the extent of it—but to get things rolling, players who take part in the mode will be awarded double GTA$ and RP until October 16. Players taking on any Client Jobs between now and October 16 will earn double GT

However, the custom tuned drivers in the new Void Elite series gives these headsets a rated frequency range of 20Hz to 30,000Hz, up from a 20,000Hz at the top end. There are three Void Elite models, depending on the preferred connection. They include the Void RGB Elite Wireless with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle (good for up to 40 feet), Void RGB Elite USB with a USB cable, and Void Elite Surround with both a universal 3.5mm connector and USB adapter. Alongside the new Void Elite series, Corsair also

On paper, it’s a stout chip for multi-threaded workloads, but what kind of overclocking results can we expect? Gigabyte may have answered that question with the premature posting of an overclocking guide. As spotted by Hexus the other day, Gigabyte posted an overclocking guide in PDF format related to its Aorus X570 Master motherboard. Using that setup, Gigabyte found 3950X “can hit around 4.3GHz using around 1.4V.” Out of numerous samples tested, there was one instance where Gigabyte hit 4.4GHz

(Image credit: Tom Sykes)As with popular MMO ‘Twitter’, the goal of free browser game Sneeter is to build up your social media standing, by making twee…sorry, sneets that will do the numbers. Fail at this, and you’ll lose health and eventually peg it. To win at Sneeter, you’ll need to work out what they like, and tweet more of that, while avoiding tweeting about things they’re not keen on. It’s a clever and funny parody of the real Twitter, and an entertaining puzzle to try and figure out. For

Sea of Thieves already has skeletal pirates, curses and lots of dressing up, so it’ pretty prepared for Halloween, but that doesn’t mean Rare is resting on its laurels. Neate also teased private servers, but they won’t be arriving with this update. Rare has seen players organising their own events, races and challenges, and it wants to do more to encourage that. In the short term, it wants players to approach them with their ideas, but the plan is to eventually support creative pirates with thei

Redditor u/o0PETER0o decided to give a friend the gift that keeps on giving, by which I mean a videogame-themed pillow. Unfortunately most videogame-themed pillows are kind of gross, but that’s no reason to give up. The website in question was bagsoflove.co.uk, by the way, which is not a name that suggests wholesome gifts like this one but whatever. After u/o0PETER0o posted a photo of the pillow to the Elder Scrolls subreddit yesterday it was then ripped off by someone else and reposted to r/gam

(Image credit: Devolver)It looks like Steam is getting a new feature offering automatic online support for local multiplayer games. Dubbed ‘Remote Play Together’, the feature was announced on the Steamworks website, which only devs have access to, though a couple have already shared the information publicly. According to the announcement, Remote Play Together will enter Steam beta soon, and will allow “two or more players to enjoy local multiplayer games over the internet, together.” The announc

We’re looking backwards to think about our games of the year and prepping for some big events, like BlizzCon and the launch of Google Stadia. Here’s how we think the rest of 2019 is going to play out—the stories and games you’ll be reading about on PC Gamer in November and December. Or alternatively, “Buying games on Stadia and streaming for ‘free’ at 1080p is more than sufficient.” But Microsoft is still working on its Project XCloud, and that could very well overshadow any buzz Google Stadia g

Eve, a company that crowd-developed an alternative to Microsoft’s Surface, has once again put design decisions in the hands of potential buyers to come up with the Eve Spectrum, the world’s first crowd-developed gaming monitor. Spectrum (not to be confused with the cable company) is the result of more than 2,000 surveyed people saying Eve’s next project after the Surface competitor should be a gaming monitor. Overall, though, the specs look good for a gaming display. Interestingly, the panel on

Former Hearthstone pro and prominent community member Brian Kibler has announced that, as a result of Blizzard’s “incredibly harsh” punishment of now-former Hearthstone Grandmaster Chung “blitzchung” Ng Wai, he will not take part in Grandmasters livestreams going forward, “unless something changes.” during a recent post-match interview at the Asia Pacific Hearthstone Grandmasters tournament. Blizzard came down on him extremely hard for his gesture, removing him from Grandmasters, rescinding his
