    Info Why Microsoft Store and Xbox App are doomed

    So I checked and although Forza Horizon 6 is available through steam it is also available through MS Store and inside the game it look like it logs in via the Xbox App? Thankfully saves are via Steam Cloud :) So I clean installed Windows 11 and now Forza Horizon 4 works.... It was probably a...

    Info Why Microsoft Store and Xbox App are doomed

    Given that Forza Horza 6 is coming out soon I thought that I'd go back and play Forza Horizon 3. Yes I know it's old but from what I remember it was a lot of fun. Open up the Xbox App and find and download it. Now it just keeps hanging on the loading screen. No error codes or anything. After a...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Good luck! I used Cloister scarabs as this was a really easy way to get a decent amount of chaos. 5 scarabs would drop me 30-40 stacked decks a map. For performance issues, have you cleared both the game and gpu shader caches? It's always a good idea to at least clear the game shader cache at...

    SSD/HDD

    If your motherboard has another M.2 NvME slot then you can get a 2TB PCIe4.0 drive for ~£220. A 1TB would cost around £140 at the moment. These prices are from scan.co.uk You can often find these drives on sale with around £20 off the average price. If you are going not going to replace your...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I finished my current Path of Exile league playthrough. My first ever character to reach level 100. Also 36/40 challenges done. Unfortunately getting 40 would be near impossible as my totems rely on taunt which is really bad for uber bosses. Now that Planet Crafter v2 has been released I'm...

    What are your thoughts on paid mods?

    You might get more people working on mods. But then you might get a ton of rubbish, low priced mods. Trying to separate the good from the bad? That's hard enough just with the flood of games on steam. This is just going to make it worse. However the people that make really good mods, that...

    Using CoPilot to Adjust Your Game

    I've used AI to help with a few things in Path of Exile. I had a particular problem with a unique map because the boss didn't taunt and kept teleporting away and had a proximity shield. Loads of the information it gave me was incorrect - even different AI's got things like gem colours wrong. I...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Yeah completing your atlas is a good idea. That will give you enough atlas points to run Crop Rotation, turn off other league mechanics* and boost item quantity. Then work out what map types you can't run. This will be stuff like ele damage reflected, no life regen. If you don't have the...

    Other than Valve, what video game developer/publisher would you most want to work for.

    GGG - Path of Exile is my most played game and it amazes me what they can still churn out each season to make the game feel new again. Miju Games - they just make Planet Crafter. But they continue to improve the base game and have released several DLC for it

    Info PC Gamer magazine's letters section is back! Please submit any questions or opinions you have, and we will feature the best in our next issue.

    Are mods still relevant as we move to steam decks/machines and other hand held pc machines? Mods for games can extend the life of games and make them easier or more difficult. It's a good reason that windows desktop or laptop gaming is still going strong

    What 2026 games are you looking forward to the most?

    Forza Horizon 6. I'm not really into any other racing games but the Forza Horizon series from 3 onwards has just been excellent.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I'm also playing Path of Exile. Playing a off meta Chieftain Flame Totem build which is slightly different to the Ancestral Commander version I played in the last Phrecia event. With the Black Zenith gloves and Rain of Splinters 4 totems just rain fire down across the entire screen...

    I would hate to have to exist without CoPilot...

    I have to admit that I use AI a lot. I use Opera and have chatgtp, gemini, perplexity and claude all in the sidebar. But they can they be really stupid sometimes when they scrape things like 5 year old reddit posts. Mostly I use it as a replacement for search because it is a lot quicker than...

    General Game Discussion for March 2026

    I've been playing the 3.28 Path of Exile League. I'm playing a Flamewood Totem Chieftain build which is only played by a tiny amount of people. I actually appear in the poe.ninja table if you search for that. With less that 50c it got me easily into red maps. Now I've tweaked my passive tree...

    Question Best tool to create stylish gaming names?

    It depends on the game. Lots of games are very restrictive on the characters you can use and will only let you use the default font that the game uses.
