Star Wars Zero Company: Hands-on preview
Star Wars Zero Company surprised us. When EA invited PC Gamer to be one of the first outlets in the world to play their new game, Ted Litchfield went in with high expectations - a Clone Wars tactics game made by former XCOM and Jedi Survivor devs is a slam drunk - but even these were surpassed.

How Arc Raiders was saved from mediocrity
ARC Raiders famously switched focus from a fast, free-to-play PvE game to the tighter, more tactical PvPvE extraction shooter we know today; a move known as "the reset".

We interviewed him afterwards to delve more deeply into how this pivot happened, what player feedback is teaching Embark about their game, and what plans they have for the future.

In a post on Steam, the company said it had planned to do so by now, but that memory and storage shortages are to blame for the delay. In this video, Dave and Jacob discuss the statement, the wider memory shortage, and what it might mean for Valve's bid for Linux in your living room. Is it all doom and gloom or is there still hope for an affordable Machine yet?
