The Thermaltake Retro 360 TG is an affordable retro themed PC case that looks good from a distance, but its design choices make it harder to recommend over better modern alternatives. It captures the beige desktop style of late 1980s and early 1990s computers, complete with fake drive bays, a boxy front panel, and a tempered glass side window. At around $90 or £92,

The ongoing RAM shortage has made memory upgrades far more expensive, but many DRAM kit makers appear to be responding in two very different ways: staying quiet or launching even faster, more specialised DDR5 products. That is a strange direction for a market where many PC builders simply want reliable, affordable memory. For most gaming systems, ultra-high-speed DDR5 is not necessary. A sensible DDR5-5200

Gaming laptop prices remain high in 2026, especially as memory and storage costs continue to affect new hardware. However, several strong deals are still available across budget, mid-range, and high-end models. The best option depends on whether you need an affordable 1080p machine, a balanced RTX 5070 laptop, or a powerful RTX 5080 system for demanding games and creative work. The most important detail

The Logitech G316 X has some promising features for a mid-range gaming keyboard, including hot-swappable switches, per-key RGB lighting, a 30-zone light bar, a detachable USB-C cable, and up to 8 kHz polling. But the tactile version struggles with the one part that matters most: how the keys feel. At $120, the G316 X should offer a confident mechanical typing and gaming experience. Instead,

Valve says the Steam Machine benefits heavily from years of work on the Steam Deck, with much of the software and living room experience already proven before the new hardware entered development. According to Valve engineers, the company had already solved most of the platform level challenges through Steam Deck updates, SteamOS improvements, controller support, and TV docking use. The Steam Machine still requires

AMD may be preparing a new low power CPU core design for Zen 6 processors, a change that could improve battery life in future Ryzen laptops. New Linux kernel code points to a Low Power core type designed for background tasks and idle workloads, giving AMD a third core category alongside its standard Zen performance cores and compact Zen c cores. The new design

Meccha Chameleon players are finding increasingly strange ways to win, but one recent strategy may be the simplest yet. Instead of painting themselves to blend into walls, furniture, or artwork, one player walked openly around the map and pretended to be part of the searching team. The tactic worked because other players were too focused on finding hidden opponents. In a game built around

Diablo 4 Season 14, Season of Death Awakening, changes how Unique items work and makes boss farming more important for endgame builds. Every lair boss can now drop Mythic versions of regular Uniques, which come with maximum stats and stronger Unique powers. The older ultra rare Mythic items are now called Iconic Mythics and remain among the hardest rewards to obtain. Knowing which boss

Edgerunners 2 has received its first proper trailer, offering a closer look at the new characters, action scenes, and neon soaked chaos heading to Night City this fall. The footage suggests the sequel will keep the fast, violent, and emotional style of the original anime, with another story that may not end happily for its main cast. The first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners became

Hideki Kamiya has suggested a very different future for Resident Evil: a quiet, cozy spin off where Leon Kennedy retires from fighting bioterror threats and spends his days fishing, gardening, baking, and helping neighbours. The idea came from Kamiya, who worked on the original Resident Evil and directed Resident Evil 2 before moving on to create games such as Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will hold an open beta test on PC and PlayStation 5 from July 24 to July 26, giving players their first widely available chance to try Arc System Works’ upcoming Marvel fighting game before launch. The beta is a notable step for PC players because the game’s earlier playtest was only available on PlayStation 5. Arc System Works has now

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered is aiming to preserve one of the original game’s most distinctive features by bringing back Daniel Thron, one of the artists who helped create the 1998 cutscenes. Nightdive Studios says Thron is working with the team to update the animated sequences while keeping their original style intact. That is important because Thief’s cutscenes were never typical pre-rendered videos. They

Microsoft’s marketing for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 now makes one point very clear: the game will not be available through Xbox Game Pass this year. New advertisements for the shooter include a direct disclaimer stating that it is “not on Xbox Game Pass this year,” confirming that players will need to buy the game separately at launch. The ads reportedly began appearing

Magic: The Gathering’s Marvel Super Heroes set appears to fix many of the issues players had with the earlier Spider-Man crossover. While the Spider-Man cards had some fun individual designs, the new Marvel set looks more complete because it brings stronger synergies, fresh mechanics, and clearer deck building themes. The set focuses on Avengers, villains, X-Men, Fantastic Four characters, and other major Marvel names.

Warhammer 40,000 miniatures have become increasingly dependent on “tactical rocks,” and it may be time for Games Workshop to slow down. A raised stone, broken helmet, pipe, ruined statue, or pile of debris can make a model look more dynamic, but recent releases often go too far. Many newer characters appear to be balancing on rubble purely to look taller, more dramatic, or more

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle brings more of the series’ energetic cutscenes to the game, and the new scenes are even more exaggerated than those in the base adventure. The DLC continues the mix of comedy, food, action, and strange character moments that helped make Dave the Diver stand out from other underwater exploration games. The expansion adds a new jungle setting, fresh

A large share of PC players are prepared to wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 rather than buying the game on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and S at launch. In a recent reader poll, 39% said they would hold out for a PC version despite Rockstar Games still not confirming when that release will arrive. GTA 6 is currently expected to launch

Blox Fruits codes can give you free double EXP boosts, Beli, stat resets, and special titles that help you progress faster in Roblox’s popular One Piece inspired adventure. Most active codes are especially useful for new players because double EXP bonuses can reduce the time needed to level up, unlock stronger weapons, and reach new islands. There are no newly added Blox Fruits codes

The second half of 2026 is packed with major PC game releases, including Halo: Campaign Evolved, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag: Resynced, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4, Gears of War: E-Day, and Grand Theft Auto 6 on consoles. While some of the year’s biggest releases have already arrived, there are still dozens of RPGs, action games, strategy titles, survival games, and remakes scheduled for

Final Fantasy 14 is currently running the Dragon Quest X crossover event, Breaking Brick Mountains, which gives you another chance to earn the Wind-up Brickman minion and other limited rewards. The event runs until July 13, 2026, and players who completed it in previous years can also collect a new Framer’s Kit from the event vendor. Seasonal events are a regular part of Final
