Interstellar highway sim Star Trucker has set a release date for September 3, 2024, announcing it with a chill new trailer during today’s PC Gaming Show. Set to twanging Americana, the trailer shows the life of a big-rig space trucker as the lumbering ship rolls through the retrofuturistic cosmos and deals with the usual issues of star trucking life.
There’s stuff like solar flares and micrometeor impacts disabling your equipment and requiring a savvy fix, sure, but also things like sassy radio chatter with other truckers, clogged interstellar highways, and the occasional bit of contraband transporting. There’s even a promising little bit where the trucker, disabled by a flare, reaches for their radio to call in some help.
Developer Monster & Monster says it puts an “interstellar twist” on the truck sim genre. One where you get certified for ever-more-hazardous cargos and understanding the dangers of a route, and its demands on your truck’s systems, will let you prosper. After all, a flat tire on the interstate isn’t the worst thing ever, but a blown-out radiator in space might leave you properly cooked.
Star Trucker sets itself apart from other space sims by having an emphasis on the mood and a more relaxed, arcade-style simulation element than more hardcore, hard sci-fi games about space cargo. It first came to our attention early last year, captured our imagination at Gamescom 2023, and really quite charmed PC Gamer Editor Fraser Brown during the last Steam Next Fest.
“Despite the sci-fi setting, Star Trucker is obsessed with ’70s Americana and the romanticisation of life on the road. It’s full of accents dripping in southern drawl, the radio spits out country blues and rock, and I can only assume the diners still serve disappointing coffee. It’s full of playfully retro artefacts and charm—personality that sets it apart from its grounded predecessors,” he said, emphasizing the delight it takes in the technical specs of its sluggish, even frustrating space big-rigs.
You can find Star Trucker on Steam where you can wishlist it ahead of that September 3 release date.

Even after the loss of E3, the console manufacturers are soldiering on with traditional summer showcases direct to our home screens. With PlayStation wrapped and Nintendo yet to come, it’s time to tune in for the Xbox Games Showcase to cap off the Summer Game Fest weekend.
When to watch the Xbox Games Showcase
The Xbox Games Showcase will premiere at 9 am Pacific / Noon Eastern on Sunday, June 9 this year. Check your local equivalent here or see how that breaks down in other timezones:
9 am PDT (Los Angeles)
12 pm EDT (New York)
5 pm BST (London)
6 pm CEST (Berlin)
2 am Monday, June 10 AEST (Sydney)
4 am Monday, June 10 NZST (Auckland)
As for what to expect during the showcase, “This will also be our first Showcase featuring games from our portfolio of studios across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios, in addition to titles from our third-party partners,” Xbox says.
Your guess is as good as ours. Will we see more of Fable or Avowed? What about Starfield’s first Shattered Space DLC? Personally, I’d love to see something from that lovely creature befriending game Everwild that Rare has been working on. Okay yes, it is technically possible that we hear about The Elder Scrolls 6 finally. I wouldn’t hold your breath though.
Xbox has also confirmed that it will be hosting a Black Ops 6 direct immediately after the main show, the way it did with Starfield previously. It’s calling that “a special deep-dive into the next installment in the beloved Call of Duty franchise.”
More seriously, I wonder if Microsoft will make any mention during the presentation of the numerous studio closures it has made this year. Layoffs and closures around the industry have been incessant since the beginning of 2023 and the sizable contribution that Micorosft has made to that total has been on our own minds, as well as those of other developers. Some of them went so far as to eulogize shuttered studios —including former Microsoft stalwarts Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks—with a billboard near the Summer Game Fest.

Nightdive’s next remaster of a classic game isn’t an obvious one: It’s The Thing, the 2002 combination of survival horror and squad shooter that was developer Computer Artworks’ last game. Critically and commercially acclaimed at the time, it has been pretty hard to get on its original console platforms since—or required some technical wizardry to get running well on PC.
The Thing: Remastered is set after the events of the famous 1982 John Carpenter movie, showing a possible sequel where a military squad it sent to the abandoned outpost—naturally, the shape-shifting alien is very much still alive and ready to murder you all.
The remaster will bring it up to modern performance, “including Antialiasing, Per Pixel Lighting, 4K Resolution and up to 144 FPS” and an implementation of “dynamic lighting, specular mapping, shadows, depth of field complemented by improved models, textures and environments to create a deep level of immersion.”
The remaster will have everything from the original game, which presumably includes the cameo of a character played by movie director John Carpenter himself, plus some as-yet-unspecified quality of life improvements that I expect will seem very obvious to modern players, once revealed.
You can find a page for The Thing: Remastered on Steam. For my part, I’m pretty excited to get it. I wanted to try it back in 2002, but couldn’t get my hands on a copy no matter how hard I tried at the time. I expect the same kind of curiosity will drive a lot of interested in this remaster.

Twelve grey letters in my first three goes? That’s got to be some sort of personal record. Thank goodness for the late-game turnaround, even if it happened mostly because there weren’t that many letters left to try. A memorable way to start my Wordle weekend, although I’d appreciate it if tomorrow’s game was a little less eventful.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.
You’ll want to start with a strong word like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.
After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
It’s been two years since we first checked out Anger Foot, which had actually already been around for a couple years at that point: It was originally created in a 2020 game jam and eventually moved into alpha testing in 2021. Now, courtesy of today’s Devolver Direct, we’ve got a release date—it’s coming to Steam on July 11.
I haven’t really paid much attention to Anger Foot until now, so I was caught somewhat by surprise when I read that the game takes place in the crime-ridden metropolis of Shit City. “That can’t be right,” I thought to myself. But, uh, yeah. Yeah, it is.
“Shit City is a disease and your foot is the cure,” the Steam page states. “Lace-up a capricious collection of formidable footwear to fight through a diverse series of deranged city districts.” Okay then.
You might think that the act of kicking would be a little bit limiting within the context of an FPS, but there are different styles, secrets, and unlocks to keep things fresh as you “become one with the toes.” Yes, there are guns—there are always guns—but I get the impression that Anger Foot is, at least in that sense, going to be a game that takes a cue from Arkane’s Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, a game we once called “the best RPG for killing things with your foot.” Perhaps now it will finally have some competition?
Now, if you’re thinking to yourself, “I too find ‘Shit City’ funny because I, like you, have the comedic sensibility of an over-sugared 12-year-old, but I’m not really all that into feet,” I have good news: A demo for Anger Foot is available on Steam, so you can try it for free to see if you get a kick out of it. (Get it?)
I took the demo for a quick spin and it’s pretty wild. Gameplay is reminiscent of Hotline Miami: The levels are compact and tight, and death comes quickly. Health regenerates quickly, but it only takes one or two shots to take you down, so speed, positioning, and ensuring you don’t leave any corners unchecked are vital to getting through.
Ammunition is also extremely limited, at least in the little bit I played, so even when you’re packing a piece, your foot is going to do most of the work. As you’d expect, it’s stupidly violent, and objects in each level—doors, furniture, toilets—smash and shatter with ease. As a “wrecking things” simulator, it’s pretty satisfying.

Oh, there are also interactive cutscenes that I can only describe as “demented.” Enjoy!

In what may or may not be a case of incredibly coincidental (and unfortunate) timing, an in-the-works addition to the legendary Civilization strategy game series has leaked via the 2K Games website.
The leak was quickly removed, but not before the banner image was memorialized by quick fingers on Reddit and Resetera. The banner also included links to a new trailer and wishlist page, neither of which were live while the banner was up.

The Summer Game Fest showcase is set to kick off at 2 pm PT/5 pm ET today, and we know 2K is going to be revealing something big—nothing less than “the next iteration in one of 2K’s biggest and most beloved franchises,” in fact.
We had thought (although perhaps “hoped” would be a better word for it) that BioShock 4 might finally step into the spotlight; Borderlands 4 also seemed possible as a big statement following Take-Two’s recent acquisition of Gearbox. Of course, now we’re all moving our chips onto Civilization 7.
Firaxis actually announced that it was working on “the next iteration of the legendary Civilization franchise” in February 2023, following the departure of Marvel Midnight Suns creative director and longtime Civilization vet Jake Solomon. Nothing beyond the fact of its existence was shared at the time, though, nor has anything really been said about it since. Civ 6, meanwhile, continues to trundle along like an absolute juggernaut: Despite being eight years old now (yes, that strategy juggernaut was released all the way back in 2016) it remains one of the most-played games on Steam.
Whether or not Civilization 7 is really 2K’s big Summer Game Fest reveal, we’ll find out in a few hours—and even if it’s not, it seems pretty clear we’ll be hearing about it soon enough. In the meantime, if you haven’t yet sampled the delights of Civ 6, it’s currently on sale for a ridiculous cheap $3/£2.49/£3—that’s 95% off the regular price—on Steam.

Hiya PC gamers, welcome to this week’s episode of the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast!! The team’s been real busy lately: Summer Game Fest approaches, as does our own PC Gaming Show. ‘Tis the season for announcements, so everyone has been stuffing their noggins with brand new gaming goodness.
Don’t worry, the podcast still soldiers on among the chaos, and this week we’re bringing Tyler Colp along to talk all about videogame brand tie-ins. You know, like Monster Energy being in Death Stranding for whatever reason, or Barack Obama co-opting the Xbox version of Burnout Paradise to display billboards for his 2008 campaign. That kinda weird, sometimes fitting/immersive but quite often just very bizarre real-world additions that permeate our virtual worlds.
We also touch upon the brands that go all-out, like the fact that Burger King somehow has multiple real videogames under its belt. We even find a little bit of time to go off-topic into your standard crossover fare, like how they put 2B in everything these days and I also get the chance to talk about the Persona 5 curse,
We no doubt missed a ton of weird tie-ins, so pop over to the PC Gamer forums and share some of your personal faves. We’ll have a thread set up about this week’s episode, and Lauren and I will be joining in on the discussion, too.
You can check out the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast on a whole bunch of podcast platforms:

A few years ago we cheekily declared that the PC had won the console war, and it’s also true that I’ve spent the past couple decades gently mocking Sony and Microsoft for their 30 fps games and their Kinectimals, but now the PlayStation and Xbox are really looking quite pale and I’m starting to feel bad. I was just razzin’, but as we head into the summer showcases, confidence in the consoles has sunk to new lows and I don’t know if they’ll ever get their old glow back.
It’s not just vibes: Console sales are down. Circana analyst Mat Piscatella marked a 26% decline in spending on current-generation consoles this April compared to last April. Xbox hardware in particular is struggling to sell: Microsoft reported a 30% decline in Xbox hardware revenue between the first few months of last year and the first few months of this year.
Meanwhile, Sony’s recent State of Play stream was almost as much a PC gaming show as it was a PlayStation show, featuring a PvP hero shooter that’ll release on PC day one and the news that God of War Ragnarök is on the way to our platform.
Hey, we’re happy. It wasn’t long ago that God of War on PC sounded like a pipe dream, but Microsoft and Sony finally cut it out with the console exclusives like we always wanted. And although Sony still makes us wait for its big singleplayer games, FOMO is harder to cultivate than it once was. New phenomena like Palworld appear all the time, and with the help of a good Amazon Prime TV show, a years-old game like Fallout 4 can suddenly become the hot thing to play. We’ve got more than enough to distract us from whatever’s big on PlayStation right now—which incidentally is Helldivers 2, a game that at last check had made more than half of its money on PC.
There is one force of nature on the horizon that I expect to flip those console hardware revenue frowns upside down: Grand Theft Auto 6 releases next year, and will almost definitely be exclusive to consoles for a period. Daddy Rockstar’ll take care of ya, don’t you worry.
But one GTA doesn’t bust the trend: Are we really, finally approaching the end of consoles as closed hardware platforms with exclusive first-party games?
Microsoft certainly appears to be prioritizing gaming revenue over hardware revenue, despite what its recent mass developer layoffs and studio closures might seem to indicate. Xbox console sales are down, but Microsoft as a whole is fine, and its gaming revenue has swelled this year due to its Activision Blizzard acquisition. It’s also going all-in on Game Pass with plans to offer the next iteration of its shiny new moneymaker, Call of Duty, on its PC and console subscription library.

It very quickly became normal for PlayStation exclusives to release on PC, albeit on a timer. (Image credit: Sony Santa Monica)
The one holdout among the console makers is Nintendo, whose PC strategy remains to threaten fan projects with lawsuits. Perhaps I do not have to hand it to Nintendo for this, but as a result of its obstinance, the Switch is the only console I’d consider buying as a PC gamer. Nintendo remains a one-of-a-kind gaming company, whereas Xbox and PlayStation feel less and less distinguishable from gaming at large—aka PC gaming. Maybe I’m finally starting to understand the PlayStation fans who are mad that the thing they like is dissolving into the great PC gaming ocean of everything. (But too bad: Kratos is now our dad, too.)
We’ve been joking for years that the consoles are “just PCs now,” and the sentiment has only become more and more true.
The distinctions between Xbox, PlayStation, and PC haven’t totally dissipated: Japan Studio’s new Astro Bot looks like a PlayStation-ass PlayStation game straight out of the ’90s, and Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Sucker Punch, and Sony Santa Monica are still plugging away on future PS5 games which won’t come to PC at launch. But the big leap to me was Sony releasing first-party PlayStation exclusives on PC at all, and I doubt it ends there.
God of War on Xbox sounds ridiculous, but God of War on PC once sounded the same, and for its part, Microsoft is going to start releasing some of its smaller Xbox exclusives on PlayStation and Switch.
“I do have a fundamental belief that, over the next five or ten years, exclusive games—games that are exclusive to one piece of hardware—are going to be a smaller and smaller part of the games industry,” said Xbox boss Phil Spencer after that announcement.
We’ve been joking for years that the consoles are “just PCs now,” and the sentiment has only become more and more true. Microsoft has boasted that its next Xbox will be a powerhouse, so it’s obviously not getting out of the game, but I can’t see that machine having anything like the cultural impact of the Xbox 360. (I can picture that glowing green ring clear as day, as well as the moment it turned red.)
Maybe Valve’s old living room PC project was just ahead of its time, and now that the exclusivity walls are falling, we’re due for the second coming of the Steam Machines. They’d be consoles that get every Xbox game, every PlayStation game (some on a delay), and of course, every PC game. And you wouldn’t need a PlayStation Plus subscription to play online. The Steam Deck’s success, and resultant SteamOS compatibility push, suggests it wouldn’t be the worst idea.
https://gamingarmyunited.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/1717716071_Hello-PC-gaming-here-Are-the-consoles-OK.jpg6701200Carlos Pachecohttps://gamingarmyunited.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Website-Logo-300x74.pngCarlos Pacheco2024-06-06 23:29:542024-06-06 23:29:54Hello, PC gaming here: Are the consoles OK?
Like everything else in PC gaming, gaming chairs are ten a penny in the market, so it takes something special to stand out in the crowd. Actually, it doesn’t. They just need to be well made, adjustable for all shapes and sizes and have day-long comfort. The original ThunderX3 Core was one such example, thanks to its sublime lumbar support and affordable price. Now there’s a new version of the Core and it’s just as comfy but also much cheaper.
We spotted the new Core Smart while at Computex and naturally, like everyone else there, quickly tested the ergonomics by parking our rears in the luxurious seat and cosseting our noggins in the ‘2-in-1’ headrest. I’m not entirely sure what two things it does in one but who cares when it’s “absolutely divine,” to quote our Jacob.
Self-adjusting lumbar support might sound like a gimmick but in the case of the ThunderX3 chair, it really does work. That large pad you can see in the chair’s back moves with you, like a pair of helping hands protecting your back, as you shift around. Add the cushioned armrests and you’ve got the perfect place to plonk your posterior as you play on your PC for…umm…ages.
A few minutes of well-earned rest from the hectic bustle of Computex is by no means a comprehensive review so our official word on how great it is will have to wait until we can get our hands (and everything else) on one in the office.
For now, though, let’s just take a gander at ThunderX3’s other new model—the Flex Pro, with more Ds in its spec sheet than you can shake a backrest at. It has 19D adjustability, with a 4D headrest, 5D armrests, 3D lumbar support, and a 3D seat. In case you’re wondering what any of that means, the ‘D’ simply refers to dimensions of adjustments, so 3D would be up/down, forward/backward, and side-to-side.
The mesh version looks like it will be ideal for gaming in hot climates, though both Flex Pro versions look like you’ll be able to sit back and feel thoroughly supported across your entire body. The design gives off a distinct space-age vibe to my eyes but I have to confess to not being a fan of mesh chairs or any chair that lacks substance to the seat and back.
Being of a somewhat slender build (read: starving stick insects have more meat on them than me), I find such chairs to only be comfortable for fairly short periods and the decline from ah to argh is very rapid. If I was spending my own money on a new gaming chair, it’d be the Core Smart that I’d choose over the Flex Pro.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
And speaking of which, where the original ThunderX3 Core launched at $399 (not cheap but way less than other, less luxurious, gaming chairs), the Core Smart will have an MSRP of $299. Not sure when we’ll be able to buy one but at that price, ThunderX3 is going to be shifting a whole lot of them.

Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes every day and the aim is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering guesses and eliminating or confirming individual letters.
Getting off to a good start with a strong word like ARISE—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters—is a good tactic. Once you hit Enter, the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path.
After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).
