One-inch Tactics Version 1.0.7 adds five new missions, taking the Steam tactical strategy game to 40 missions since its 2024 launch.

There comes a point in the life of many PC gamers when normal games are no longer enough. You start eyeing up those fancy flight simulators, but know in your heart of hearts it is probably going to take more effort – and indeed cash on new equipment – for something you may not ever like. So you find yourself getting into Microsoft Flight Simulator because it’s on Game Pass, as it’s technically free. hen you soon find you have have landed airliners. You have flown under bridges. You have probably crashed a Cessna into your own house in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Eventually, though, somebody mentions DCS World and suddenly you are watching a scary 40-minute YouTube video explaining how to start an F-16.

There are certain PC gaming peripherals that are quite difficult to explain to somebody who has never used one. Head tracking is definitely up there among them.

Cyberpunk 2077 is heading to Battle.net later this year, with CD Projekt Red confirming at BlizzCon 2026 that both the base game and Phantom Liberty will be joining Blizzard’s PC storefront.

There is a point, shortly after firing up God’s Eye View for the first time, where you begin to wonder whether you should actually be allowed to have this.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners hoping to finally get their hands on 007 First Light are going to have to wait quite a bit longer, with IO Interactive confirming that its James Bond game will now arrive on Nintendo's console in March 2027. 007 First Light launched on PS5, Xbox, and PC on May 27, 2026, with the Switch 2 version originally pencilled in for summer. That window has now disappeared completely, and IO Interactive says an exact March release date will be announced later. IO Interactive says the extra development time is being used to get the Switch 2 version

There was a long period of time when PC gaming, with the anti-tamper DRM system Denuvo, was the only way to ensure your big new release wouldn’t appear on private piracy trackers within minutes of release. From there, the torrent would quickly make its way to the public trackers, where even the most casual of freeloaders could avail themselves of the bounty without paying a penny.

I’ve finally reached the stage in life where my games room is becoming worryingly close to a real-life version of my favorite game – Satisfactory.

There was a time when walking into an arcade felt like stepping into the future. The noise was deafening, the carpets were questionable, and somewhere in the darkness was a machine you had never seen before that was about to relieve you of every last bit of pocket money.

There is no sensible way to pretend that spending around £1,000 on a pair of headphones is normal working-class behaviour. You can buy a decent television for that. You can probably buy a used car. You can even, if you are quick, still buy a games console for it. The Audeze LCD-X are not an impulse purchase unless your impulses are significantly better funded than mine.
