     Star Wars Jedi Survivor has

With the Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date right around the corner, it looks like our list of the best Star Wars games might be getting a new entry to shake things up, as many are saying from recent previews that it's leaps and bounds above the original Jedi Fallen Order. It also looks like Star Wars Jedi Survivor wants to be much bigger than its predecessor too, as developer Respawn has talked about how it wants to expand on what the first game built.

     Best racing games for PC 2023

What are the best racing games on PC? Whether mastering muddy tracks in Dirt Rally 2.0 or embracing Forza Horizon 5's magnificent Mexico, these are the best racers around, though we'd recommend plugging in a controller instead of using a mouse and keyboard, or even better, getting yourself a wheel.

So while a couple of these could be contenders for our list of the best PC games overall, there are plenty of options here if you consider yourself a speed demon. We unfortunately don't have Gran Turismo 7 on PC yet - fingers crossed it arrives eventually - but there are plenty of excellent racing games here, no matter your taste.

     Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU wins the hearts and wallets of Steam users

The Steam Hardware Survey for April 2023 is here, and its results point to the arrival of a new people's champion in the graphics card space: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. It's taken an abnormally long time for it to take its expected place as the platform's most popular GPU, but the pixel pusher is now sitting confidently at the top with a comfortable lead.

     Honkai Star Rail will be

The emerald pastures of Genshin Impact's Teyvat are a far cry from the vast reaches of Honkai: Star Rail's celestial universe, which in many ways is incredibly exciting. It's a whole new look for HoYoverse not just aesthetically, but gameplay-wise, too. Star Rail is a turn-based strategy game, which may ring alarm bells given that it's a slightly less popular genre. Producer David Jiang isn't worried, though.

     Genshin Impact 3.6 release date, new characters, and more

Want to know the Genshin Impact 3.6 release date? It feels like the 3.5 release date has barely settled before we're looking ahead to new character banners and events.

The Genshin Impact 3.5 update was a little lacklustre due to the disappointing release of Dehya's banner, the five-star Pyro DPS character who failed to break the top ranks of our Genshin Impact tier list. With the rumour of a new map and the potential of the Fontaine region and Hydro Archon on the horizon, we might not have long to wait for the Genshin Impact 4.0 release date to one of the best free PC games.
