Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth debuts to the highest peak concurrent users of the series on Steam—except for the MMO, naturally

(Image credit: Square Enix) Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth has finally ambled its way over to PC, and it’s landing with—hold your breath—moderate to solid success! Please imagine me firing some party poppers at your leisure. As seen on the game’s SteamDB page, Rebirth has thus far enjoyed a peak concurrent player count of around 40,000

Larian scrambles to find out who exactly put Patch 8 on the PS5 early, meanwhile I, a PC unfortunate, rattle the bars of my enclosure

(Image credit: Larian Studios) As PC Gamer is wont to do, we’ve been posting a lot about how our device of choice has won the console war. I would like to unilaterally, with authority that I do not have (and have not asked for), state that we’ve lost. Catastrophically, because the PlayStation 5 has randomly

Avowed’s newly-revealed character creation backgrounds tripped my RPG sicko radar, offering funky fantasies like ‘Noble Scion,’ ‘Court Augur,’ and ‘Vanguard Scout’

First spotted by TheGamer, in a recent thread on X, “The Everything App,” Obsidian showed off the character creator for its upcoming first person RPG, Avowed. In addition to demonstrating the gamut of appearance options like rainbow hair or mushroom frills, Obsidian also revealed all five potential character backgrounds coming to the game: Arcane Scholar

Every prestige blockbuster game should have Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s fast-forward option

(Image credit: Square Enix) I don’t trust Square Enix to program worthwhile mouse-and-keyboard controls so I don’t know which key fast-forward is assigned to, but I can tell you it’s the right trigger on my controller, and that finishing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has probably halved the lifespan of that trigger. Obviously I keep it

ConcernedApe isn’t ruling out future updates to Stardew Valley: ‘Maybe even 50 years from now, I might add something’

In a January 24 interview with NPR’s All Things Considered, Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone discussed his debut game’s legacy nine years on, including his famous propensity for interrupting development on the upcoming Haunted Chocolatier to put out patches and new content for his 2016 farming RPG. “I do take in a lot of

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s director says ‘I respect the modding community’ and uses mods himself, though he still thinks we shouldn’t use ones that ‘detract from the intended game experience’

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s director Naoki Hamaguchi caused a stir last December when he asked modders “not to create or install anything offensive or inappropriate” for the second part of the RPG’s remake, which just launched on PC. While he didn’t specify what was “offensive or inappropriate”, such a broad statement would certainly cover nude

Final Fantasy 14 boss Yoshi-P lambasts invasive mod that exposes player data, promises its deletion and potential ‘legal action’

First reported by Massively OP, Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida has issued a statement on the game’s forums regarding a player-made plugin that can reveal private account details in-game. Yoshida doesn’t name a particular mod in his post, but he is almost assuredly referring to PlayerScope, a plugin that has drawn criticism from the

‘That’s why they call me the Elden Ring sicko’ proclaims streamer as he beats FromSoft’s RPG at NG+1000 without taking a single hit

As someone who struggled to beat Elden Ring on its standard difficulty, I’m constantly amazed by the streaming community’s ability to wrestle FromSoftware’s RPG to the ground with a reality-defying number of limbs tied behind its back. Whether that’s MissMikkaa beating the game all the way through to NG+7 with a level 1 character, or
