Pinned as one of the best PC games released so far this year, Star Wars Jedi Survivor is a much longer affair than Fallen Order, with much of the game taking on a more open-world view to exploration. The scope of Jedi Survivor is broader than the first game, which could leave a lot of room for additional content to be released in the coming years – but will Star Wars Jedi Survivor have DLC?
Each soldier in XCOM 2 can specialise in one of four classes (plus some advanced builds from the War of the Chosen expansion and the psi-ops class), and it can be hard to navigate the nuances of each individual class given the options you have. Each new class has a direct analogue in Enemy Unknown, but can be used for different roles.
For each of the four fundamental classes, there are basic abilities your soldiers are given as soon as they leave rookiedom behind and become squaddies.
If you’re struggling to get into XDefiant, take some time to read our XDefiant maps and XDefiant factions guides so you can learn more about the FPS while you wait, as well as all the known XDefiant error codes.
XDefiant server status The XDefiant servers are currently fluctuating, with players reporting difficulties maintaining a connection. Following planned maintenance, Ubisoft says there are no problems, but we can confirm we’re facing errors.
We’ve covered the base game in our Cities Skylines 2 review, and while you may also be focusing on the basic package right now, it won’t be long before there are a multitude of Cities Skylines 2 expansion packs to purchase so you can increase the scope and vibrancy of your little slice of heaven. Here are all the DLC packs coming to the city builder game, so you can make your Cities Skylines 2 maps thrive.
The first level is refreshingly light on collectibles compared to some of the later levels, but that doesn’t mean they are any easier to find. You’ll need to keep your eyes peeled for breakable walls, hidden areas, and alternative pathways to grab every secret in the game. One tip: set your gamma a little higher than you normally would to make spotting breakable walls that bit easier.
We’ve also ignored any of the collectibles that are on the main mission path as you’ll spot these easily.
Though details surrounding the full Assassins Creed Shadows cast list are still thin, we at least know who is bringing the open-world game’s dynamic dual protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, to life. Read on to find out the Assassin Creed Shadows voice actors we know of so far and more about them.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows voice actors Here are the confirmed Assassin’s Creed Shadows voice actors so far:

With no bag of holding or BG3 mods to increase your storage capacity, your inventory in Baldur’s Gate 3 fills up pretty fast. Naturally, when you’re in desperate need of some free slots, you look for anything you can get rid of – better still, anything you can sell for a quick buck. Something that you might find clogging up your storage are BG3 silver ingots, bronze ingots, or even gold ingots, but should you save them up for crafting or upgrading your BG3 weapons, or should you just trade them in for gold pieces?
Following the footsteps of our best free PC games list, we’ve kept it to the freebies. A price tag is no longer a prerequisite for a quality game, which is fantastic news for anyone who loves to experiment and broaden their horizons. We’ve gone for a range of RPG games, farming games, and lots of other genres so that there’s something for ever type of player.
Raid: Shadow Legends Our first recommendation is one you’ve probably heard of many times before.
Valhalla also has its own benchmarking tool, available in the main menu by selecting the ‘Benchmark’ option, which displays the results afterwards, including some suggested settings you can turn down based on VRAM, CPU, and GPU impact. It’s not overly extensive, though, and as one of my colleagues can attest, turning something as simple as the cloud slider down can vastly improve the graphics.
Typically, our hardware team puts a new game like Valhalla through its paces, testing it on different graphics cards, but as we’re all working from home, we’re instead relying on our home setup, which leads me onto the details of the rig this has been tested on.
This range of performance is reflected in the Avowed system requirements that start modest but demand the likes of an RTX 3080 just to hit recommended settings. So, if you want to run the game at its recommended settings on a resolution higher than 1080p and with a smooth 60fps+ experience, you’ll want to be getting hold of a recent best graphics card option.
Here are the best Avowed settings for PC:
Our selection of best builds in Black Myth Wukong is based on their overall performance across an average playthrough. Some are crafted around certain Black Myth Wukong spells, while others take advantage of unique effects attached to specific Black Myth Wukong weapons.
As our review attests, Black Myth Wukong bosses are so varied that even the best builds might demand a respec to counter them. That said, the builds we’ve crafted offer the broadest value with very distinct playstyles.
The Civilization 7 system requirements surprised everyone with demands for 20 and 16-core Intel and AMD CPUs. Thankfully, even if you fall well short of these specs, you can expect an enjoyable and well-paced experience in Civilization 7. You won’t need the best graphics card either, and Civ 7 will even run well on devices like the Steam Deck, so unless you’re running a GPU over ten years old, it shouldn’t be an issue.
While some of the very best Honkai Star Rail characters may only be pulled from banners, don’t go reaching for your wallet just yet. We’ve also gone ahead and tested all the free-to-play characters in the anime game, including the best Honkai Star Rail team comp you can build without spending a single penny. If you’d prefer to hang onto your favorite characters at the expense of your team’s performance in the free PC game, our Honkai Star Rail tier list serves as the perfect inspiration.
As you play Modern Warfare 2, one of the best PC games, the Lachmann-762 also allows you to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes – we recommend semi-automatic as the gun can go all over the place when firing off multiple rounds. This weapon has one of the fastest time-to-kill speeds we’ve seen in the FPS game, making it one of the best MW2 guns available.

While this list may have a lot in common with our guide to the best RPG games, turn-based RPGs tend to focus more on squad-based combat and have roots in the classic tabletop RPGs of old. Games in this niche are often similar to turn-based strategy games, though to make the distinction relevant, we’re focusing on games with more pronounced RPG features. Let’s look at some of the best turn-based RPGs on PC.
Historically, Zombies easter eggs were fully hidden quests, discovered by those who looked in every corner and tried interacting with every set piece. That’s why they’ve always been known as easter eggs. In Black Ops 6, however, Directed Mode has been added to help players uncover and complete these main quests. When a Zombies map is first released, you have time to discover the secrets for yourself, and we’ve got complete walkthroughs as well.
A year on, Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to 2022’s MW2, and the first time a game from the same Call of Duty series has been released two years in a row. Well, since Finest Hour. Perhaps the MW3 carry forward scheme has been brought in to make the last 12 months of slaving away behind the crosshairs worthwhile. If you’re not sure if your existing operators, guns, and camos are available in the FPS game, here’s everything we know about Modern Warfare 3 carry forward, and just what you can expect in your collection when the MW3 release date arrives.
Our Baldur’s Gate 3 review goes into some of the trials and tribulations you’ll encounter when wandering around Faerun, not to mention a really awkward, romance-adjacent encounter with an Ogre. There’s one particularly difficult fight you’ll encounter early on, but thankfully, it’s completely optional. Here’s what you need to know about Commander Zhalk, and how to beat him if you choose to take on the challenge.
How to beat Commander Zhalk When escaping the Nautiloid, Commander Zhalk will be sparring with a mindflayer.
This Destiny 2 updates tracker includes both recent changes and those yet to come, giving you a whole picture of what’s changed in Bungie’s monolithic shooter. The game has infamously had a fluctuating level of interest of late, so if you’re a lapsed player returning to the world after time away, consider this your guide to what’s changed and what is still to come.
Note that Bungie has confirmed all content will arrive on PC at the same time as console, so with that in mind, here’s what’s on the docket for the future of Destiny 2.
But does the newest FPS game from Ubisoft have SBMM or not? We’ve got all you need to know on the status of XDefiant skill-based matchmaking, as well as links to some guides to help you get to grips with the intricacies of the game.
Does XDefiant have SBMM? No, XDefiant does not have SBMM outside of the Welcome playlist or after you reach level 25. Until that time, it does.
