PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:52 AM  What are the best Skyrim mods? They can be tough to find because there's a lot of them. They're the work of a thriving and diverse scene; an army of fans and bedroom coders determined to make the game a photorealistic fantasy. Or they're just out to transform farmyard animals into deadly explosives. Whatever floats. But when you're looking for the best Skyrim mods, where do you start? Installing mods is quite simple for one of the best PC games and arguably the most popular RPG game there. This is mainly because Steam Workshop makes it easy to install and activate them and because you can add the more advanced ones to a special folder within your Skyrim files. You can also check out our guide to Skyrim console commands for more tips on changing up the open-world game or just making it utterly chaotic. The choice is yours.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:36 AM  Trying to find out where to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU? Well, we're here to help you with that. We've checked the virtual store shelves of retailers around the world to find where Nvidia's latest mid-range gaming GPU contender can be pre-ordered or where you can set up stock notifications for when the card launches later this year. With the RTX 5070 potentially set to be the best graphics card in its price range, including the supposed ability of the RTX 5070 to offer RTX 4090 performance, it's going to be in high demand. What's more, it may only be available in very limited numbers when the RTX 5070 release date arrives in February 2025. As such, you'll have to be quick to grab one of these new Nvidia cards, especially if you don't want to pay inflated prices from scalpers buying the cards from trusted retailers, only to then resell them on the likes of eBay. The official RTX 5070 price is $549 / $549 CAD / £549 / AU$1,109 for the Founders Edition card, so that's the price you should be hoping to pay for Nvidia's own stylish card. Other cards from the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac might demand more, but that's the ballpark figure you should expect to pay. While RTX 5090 stock and RTX 5080 stock is now available, no RTX 5070 stock is available yet and won't be for several weeks. However, some sites have "notify me" services, so you can sign up to know when stock becomes available, and these may eventually switch to pre-order options too.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:34 AM  Civilization 7 launch day is nearly upon us and the next chapter in the Firaxis 4X game is on its way to overhaul and reimagine the entire Civ formula. Combat is different. The new Ages system transforms the entire dynamic. Diplomacy has been greatly expanded and made more complex. With Manor Lords, Stellaris, and Age of Empires still competing for the PC strategy game crown, Civilization 7 has more to prove than any of its predecessors. Fortunately, a lot of the earliest issues have already been solved by the first Civ 7 update, which arrives alongside the beginning of the early-access period.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:23 AM  What are the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 console commands and cheats? Life in Bohemia is tough; in the beginning, you have to fight for every meal, you're forced to use sub-par gear, and your skills are so low that you won't be able to hit a barn door with an arrow at ten paces. Console commands and cheats can change that, though, if you're so inclined. Even with the best KCD2 swords and best armor, you can struggle on occasion in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Your enemies are numerous, and it can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, even fighting for what you think is right. With KCD2 console commands, you can turn the tide, and get the upper hand with ease.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:40 AM  How do you save in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? Anyone who has played an RPG in the vein of KCD2 will know how important it is to keep on top of your progress. Dying is a common occurrence in Bohemia, and you wouldn't want to explore half of the map before falling foul to deadly bandits, so here's how to save your game. It's no secret that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is full of surprises, not all of which are pleasant ones. Exploring the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 map can be a dangerous affair, especially early in the story, and we've lost chunks of time because of bandits, the city guard, and the classic: falling off a cliff. Saving in KCD2 isn't as straightforward as it is in other RPG games, either, as it involves a consumable item, so here's how to do it.

The new RPG has quickly proven itself a hit, flying past its predecessor to top 150,000 concurrent active players on Steam. Ratings are similarly glowing - the Warhorse Studios medieval epic currently holds an impressive 92% positive Steam user score. The one downer is that many players are running into issues with its restricted save system, but a solution is here.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:01 AM  Do you want to know where to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU? Good news - we're updating this guide daily with links to retailers around the world so you can set up your notifications, submit your pre-order, and eventually find stock - at a regular retail price - when the RTX 5070 Ti launches. The Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is the mid-tier card in the company's new RTX 5000 series GPU lineup. While the RTX 5070 is your entry into the series, and the RTX 5090 is the range-topper, the RTX 5070 Ti could well be the best graphics card choice for those looking to maximize their bang for buck. A notable aspect of the RTX 5070 Ti is that Nvidia won't be producing its own Founders Edition card. As such there isn't an MSRP for that exact card. However, the guide price for stock-speed cards is $749 / $749 CAD / £729 / AU$1,109. These cards will be manufactured by the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac. The RTX 5070 Ti release date window is set for February 2025, so no stock is available yet. Some stores are already listing cards with "notify me" services, and we could see pre-order options appear too, but none yet include these.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 7:01 AM  February 5, 2025: We checked for the latest Marvel Rivals codes. Marvel Rivals is a hit hero shooter featuring a cast of iconic heroes and villains, from Iron Man and Captain America to slightly more obscure characters like Cloak and Dagger. It's most regularly compared to Blizzard's Overwatch thanks to its team-focused tactics and its cast's unique abilities. Like many free multiplayer games these days, Marvel Rivals includes a code redemption system that lets you unlock freebies such as skins. We fully expect developer NetEase will continue to drop more codes post-launch, and given they only stay active for a set amount of time, we felt it'd be helpful to compile the lot, let you know what they get you, and flag when they're set to become inactive.

Steam is loaded with games you can play without spending a dime. What's more, many of them are very good indeed: games that are just as much fun to play as their full-price, wallet-destroying siblings. In recent years, free Steam games have become the norm, with some even overtaking paid-for triple-A tiles as the leaders of the PC gaming hobby. Take a quick look at the platform's most-played list, and from FPS games to MMORPGs, you'll see that a significant proportion of the most popular and best PC games on the platform happen to be free-to-play.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:56 AM  What are Valorant ranks? We've taken a deep dive into the Valorant ranking system, to show you how they work, and what the current distribution is. Looking at these figures, we can glean all kinds of information, like where you sit against the average player, as well as how much time and energy you've put into the FPS. Like all competitive FPS games, Valorant has a couple of different ways it measures ranking progress and the overall rating of players against each other. Each player has an overall Valorant rank, but there's also a dedicated 'Act rank' for each act. On top of that, there's also a concept called 'rank rating', which is connected to MMR. Here's everything you need to know about Valorant ranks, the current rank distribution, and competitive play.

Only available to those who purchased 30 event-specific capsules - or those with some serious luck - you'd have to drop $200 to buy a slightly fancier recolor of an existing skin. But then there was the Faker Ahri skin, and then the three-form Exalted skins, and then the issues with the battle pass' Blue Essence output.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:47 AM  AMD Ryzen gaming CPU sales accounted for 92% of all CPUs sold by one German retailer, leaving Intel with just under 8% of its CPU sales, according to a new report. This utter dominance by AMD would appear to be reflective of the lead the company has established in gaming performance compared to Intel's latest processors. In our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, we declared it the single best gaming CPU by a considerable margin, and sure enough it's this chip that leads the charge for AMD's sales. However, the company's Zen 5 CPUs in general are still outselling Intel at this store, painting the picture of a near monopoly in the minds of PC buyers looking to upgrade their CPU and motherboard. However, a few factors make the true picture less clear. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Ryzen 7 7800X3D review, Best gaming CPU, Radeon RX 7800 XT review |
PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:37 AM  If you want to find out where to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, this is the place to be. We're updating this guide daily with links to retailers worldwide so that we can let you know as soon as they get stock in. The RTX 5080 launch was still less than a week ago and many retailers have not yet had time to replenish their stock after the initial influx of orders. That said, one or two RTX 5080 cards do appear to be available in some locations. The Nvidia RTX 5080 is expected to be a very popular option for those wanting to upgrade to an RTX 5000 series GPU. That's because, while our RTX 5090 review showed it to be the undisputed new best graphics card, it also offers relatively poor value for $1,999. The RTX 5080, though, is a great choice that's reasonable value in the grand scheme of things, as we found out in our RTX 5080 review. Because of this expected popularity, and because the entire RTX 5000 series is tipped to be in short supply and high demand, you're going to need to be organized if you want to secure a card for a sensible price soon after launch. With an official price of $999 / $1,449.99 CAD / £979 / AU$2,019 for Nvidia's own Founders Edition card. Other cards from the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac might demand more, but that's the ballpark figure you should expect to pay. The RTX 5080 release date was Thursday, January 30, with the launch time being 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT. With most stores already sold out, some are operating a "notify me" service, so you can sign up to know when stock becomes available again.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:26 AM  When is the next Escape from Tarkov server wipe? We all know that the main aim in Escape from Tarkov isn't to rack up a high body count - it's the loot. The glorious mountains of weapons and equipment you can stockpile after several months' worth of grinding. The only issue, then, is when the Tarkov servers get wiped and you have to start again, but when do these wipes occur, and is there one planned soon? The tense FPS game is all about getting in and out as efficiently as you can, and staying alive also means that you keep whatever swag you managed to pilfer during your time in the world. Increasing the quality of your gear means you're much more likely to stay alive during your next run, and the run after that, and so on. Every once in a while, though, the servers undergo a complete EFT wipe, putting all players back to square, and level, one, but when is the next Escape from Tarkov server wipe?

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:22 AM  Last year, Balatro took over my life. I'd sit in front of my PC, lost to the soothing synth waves and muttering Joker cards. My friends and I would chat about the best combos and strategies, I was watching hour-long streams of some truly mind-boggling runs, and I was ticking off every challenge. Then Balatro came to mobile and ruined me all over again. Suddenly I was playing on the train, in bed, at the gym, and on the sly when visiting family. This experience isn't unique to me, though, because Balatro has quickly become a phenomenon that's sold over five million copies.

PCGamesN Wednesday, February 5, 2025 6:13 AM  The Spencer Mansion of Resident Evil 1 remains one of the most iconic locations in the history of horror games. Personally, I prefer its original, 1996 rendition - it has more character and cheap charm. But Resident Evil Remake's version of the zombie-infested estate does a great job of wrongfooting series veterans. You think you know the puzzles and the traps, but Capcom is a step ahead and twists your experience back on you. With rumors of Resident Evil 9 and a Code Veronica remake still in the air, and other horror series like Silent Hill forging a comeback, suddenly, ten years after it arrived on Steam, Resident Evil Remake has just gotten a strange update.

Summarised as a "slice of life tamagotchi" and available in Spanish and English, it's a gamejam production from Francisco Riolobos, Chuso Montero and Deconstructeam, the Valencia-based developers behind The Red String Club and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. It's free to download from Itch.io, and takes the form of a snowglobe perspective of somebody's one-room apartment.

Do you love spreading Managed Democracy so much that you'd sacrifice anything to achieve it? Well, friend, the Servants of Freedom Warbond for Helldivers 2 is what you need. And as you secure freedom for everyone on Super Earth, you can take as many of those undemocratic bastards with you.
The Helldivers 2: Servants of Freedom Warbond is coming this week on February 6, and it should provide plenty of bang for your buck. For the first time, you can choose what strategic target should be dusted by a Hellbomb. The Premium Warbond introduces the B-100 Portable Hellbomb backpack, which you or an ally can activate. Once you do, you have a 10-second countdown before the fireworks begin. You can drop the bomb at any objective or wade into a horde of enemies for one last send-off.
The Integrated Explosives armor passive also grants you one last, ear-splitting goodbye. When equipped with one of the two armors that come in the Warbond, death will cause your body to explode. Remember to practice social distancing with allies.
Everything in the Servants of Freedom Warbond
The Servants of Freedom Warbond comes with two new weapons, two new armor sets, a Raise Weapon victory pose, a new player title, and a seeker grenade. Both armors come with a helmet that mimics a stoic face.
The weapons coming with the Warbond are certainly interesting. The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle sounds like it lives up to its name: it's a Sickle that can harm its user. There's a charge meter on the side of the weapon, so I imagine the hotter it gets, the more it hurts to use. The GP-20 Ultimatum is a new secondary grenade pistol that launches a much more powerful shell at close range. Finally, you have the G-50 Seeker, a drone that follows you until an enemy gets close enough for an explosive hug.
Overall, the Helldivers 2: Servants of Freedom Warbond looks like it should really pop off. Look for it to arrive on February 6.

Having man's best friend by your side in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has several advantages, and you can find Henry's trusted companion Mutt pretty early.
In fact, you start looking for the dog as soon as you gain access to the open world. Mutt will be separated after being attacked at the camp, so the onus is on you to find him. You can fast-track this process by going to the spot where Mutt hides post the attack and it will allow you to add him to your party quicker.
Mutt's location in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To find Mutt, you'll have to travel to the northwest part of Semine, and the spot is close to the river. Just take he road from Semine, and you'll reach a point from where the road takes you to the forest. Mutt is actually near a wolf cave, and you can find in southwest of the Nomad's Camp. Hence, you can also quick travel to Nomad's Camp and start your journey from there. Either way, the key is to head into the forest.
Once you approach the cave, you'll find Mutt whining, and being surrounded by a wolves. You'll have to save him from the wolves, and this quest also serves as the tutorial towards how you can command your dog to perform certain actions. You can choose to flee, but the wolves are pretty easy to dispose off, and you'll gain XP in the process of doing so.
Just press your your L1/LB button to look for Mutt, and you'll get to interact with him, feed him, or send him to your home.
You can also find Mutt while completing the Invaders side quest. This quest allows you to interact with the Cumans, and Henry will follow Vasko's trail up the hill. If you keep following the quest objective, you'll be led directly to the cave. You'll again come across the same cutscene and set of actions, but the fight will be harder as it will be night and Henry will be drunk. Hence, the first method is the recommended route you should take in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 certainly has one of the strangest save systems in place, and you'll want to learn all about it unless you want to lose in-game progression.
The save system is pretty similar to the prequel, and you can't save whenever you want by pressing a key. Instead, you'll have to consume a particular type of potion in order to save when you want or sleep in specific beds that can be found around the map.
Let's take a look at how the save system works to ensure that you don't end up accidentally losing your in-game progression.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 save system explained
There is an autosave feature that works at key moments in the main quest. Usually, the autosave happens when you've completed a task in a quest. When you quit the game, just use the "Save and Quit" option. When you want to resume your journey once again, you'll be able to access the save points.
If you don't want to rely on the autosave system, there are two workarounds. One involves using the Saviour Schnapps potion, while the other requires sleeping.
All ways to get Saviour Schnapps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Saviour Schnapps is a potion that allows you to save the game instantly. You can find this rare item inside different chests, and from traders. The best place in my books will be the Apothecary if you want to purchase them directly, and they come in three different types.
Irrespective of which type you're using in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, they will always help you to save your in-game progress. You can use the item from your inventory before an uncertain mission to ensure that a defeat isn't going to prove too much. If you pause the game and select "Save Game", it will automatically consume the potion from your inventory (assuming you have at least one).
Using sleep as a save option
If you sleep on your bed, it will also save all your in-game progression. There is a catch, as the function only works if you're sleeping on your own bed. If you're using a bed on a camp, it won't save your progress. You can work around this challenge by renting a bed at a tavern or an inn. The easiest option is to just sleep in your own bed, and you can unlock more of them by completing the Blacksmith Radovan and Mille Kreyzi's quests.

Ah the joys of gaming on the go were perhaps never brighter than in the good days of the Game Boy Advance. But what if you could still have that same joy on your mobile device?
You would just need to learn all about the best GBA emulators for Android. Keep reading!
Which are the best Game Boy Advance emulators for Android?
My Boy!
Recognized by many players to be the best emulator available for Android devices, Myboy runs most games on the old Nintendo handheld pretty much without issues. Not only that, but it will take up little space, and resource-wise, it's also pretty lightweight. It's got most of the options you would expect, such as controller customization and filters of all kinds and, if you switch over to another app, it will suspend the game and leave it for you to resume. Finally, its on-screen controls are probably the best around.
While this emulator has a free version available (the Lite version), its features can feel a bit limited. For example, fast forwarding is stuck to 2x, while the pro version can go up to 16x, which can be pretty useful for those long stretches of narrative in RPGs that you have already played. Also, the free version limits you to one save slot, which could be enough for most simple games, but we all know you will need more for longer games. But with the paid version being just a few bucks, if you have been using the emulator and found it worthwhile, that could be an upgrade worth your money.
Retroarch
This is one that tends to pop up on most lists of emulators for Android devices that you can find. This is because Retroarch is not a single emulator, but a frontend that can be used to emulate most consoles and systems of the past, as long as you download the necessary bios and files. This also means that it is quite a bit more complicated to use, as it has separate options for its base program and specific ones for the platform you are emulating. If you aren't really interested in emulating more than a couple of systems, it might not be worth the trouble.
Still, it remains one of the few free GBA emulators to offer an almost-perfect experience. It is hard to argue that the GBA core that it uses is one of the faster and more accurate around. If you are looking for pixel-perfect emulation on your Android device, then you can't do a lot better than Retroarch. With that said, if ease of use and overall resource effectiveness are more important to you, then you could be better off with one of the other emulators on this list.
John GBAC
We can all agree the Game Boy Advance had so many incredible games, but what about the Game Boy Color? Definitely less so, but still if you are looking to emulate both handhelds, then this free emulator will do the trick. It combines both previous John GBA and John GBC emulators, which have now been discontinued, so if you want to make sure the emulator works on future Android releases, this is the one you are looking to install on your device.
This is another free emulator, supported by ads. While it would be nice to have the option to pay to disable the in-game ads, they are tolerable, as long as you avoid exiting and going back to the emulator again and again. Some players have reported some trouble with the emulator reading some ROM files, especially in some Pokémon games, but overall this works pretty fine and, in the realm of free GBA emulators, remains one of the best around.
Gba.emu
This is a paid emulator with no free version available, but it's got most of the features you would expect from a GBA emulator. With precise video and audio emulation, and great controller support, this is one we would especially recommend if you are a more serious player and want to spend several hours in your favorite Game Boy Advance games. Get yourself a nice Bluetooth controller and you will have no trouble playing your favorite games.
Gba.emu supports all kinds of different phones and even devices such as Nvidia Shields. Its experience is aimed at users who are not experts at emulating games, but are still looking for accuracy and quite satisfying speed, without having to sacrifice additional features. The emulator is also being constantly updated, so that you won't feel left out with future Android releases.
Vgbanext
Another paid emulator and this one doesn't have a free version available. But still, with an asking price that is surely reasonable, Vgbanext not only emulates the Game Boy Advance but also most other classic Nintendo consoles of the past such as the NES and the original Game Boy. Plus, it offers all the classic features you can expect such as numerous save slots for all your games, and the pretty handy rewind function.
But, most appreciated by its many users, is the compatibility with Google and Android TV. This means that you can use your Android device to play GBA games on your home TV, which is pretty nifty. Also, if you already have a decent Bluetooth controller, Vgbanext offers the whole package, you wouldn't really need anything else to play your favorite GBA games.
Lemuroid
Another free emulator that can run several consoles and old systems, with some degree of accuracy and pretty good speed. The main issue with Lemuroid is that its on-screen controls are not customizable and take up too much of the screen. Still, if you are serious about playing games on your device, then you surely have a Bluetooth controller already, so this shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
On the plus side, not only is Lemuroid free but it has no in-game apps of any kind. Just pure and free emulation that, while not pixel-perfect, it will allow you to run most of the GBA games you are looking for. Also, its interface is quite friendly and most users should be able to quickly set it up without much trouble. Clearly, finding games to emulate is a different topic, but on that, we would recommend going to Google or looking on YouTube.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 not only allows you to unlock different skills as you level up, but it also allows you to rectify your choices and make changes along the way.
It's quite natural that you may want to change the way Henry operates in the game, and some skills might start to seem less useful in the long run. Thankfully, there's a respec system in place that allows you to start from scratch.
How to respec your skills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike typical RPGs, resetting your chosen skills requires a particular item called Lethean Water. This item, in fact, is a potion whose in-game description reads as "forget all earthly experience". Whenever you use this item, you'll reset your selected skills. You can then use your available skill points in a fresh way.
Best ways to get Lethean Water
You can either buy Lethean Water in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 or craft it on your own. If you want to go for the first option, visit an Apothecary. By spending about 120 in-game currency, you'll be able to buy the potion and use it.
If you want to go for the second method, you'll need to get the recipe and brew the potion yourself. Just like the potion, you can also buy the recipe directly and craft it using the required ingredients. It's worth noting that the recipe costs more than the potion. But it's better in the long run for you to get the recipe and craft using the ingredients.
You'll need the following items to craft one Lethean Water.
Once you have the resources, head to the Alchemy Bench. Grind the Wormwood and add it to the Cauldron, followed by Belladonna to brew for three turns. Finally, add the Henbane to distil the potion and use it when you want.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition comes with certain extra goodies that can be yours for a marginally higher price.
To get the game's premium version, you only have to spend $10 extra. Doing so entitles you to an exclusive Gallant Huntsman's Kit, Four Shields of Seasons, and Three future expansions. If you have also pre-ordered your copy of the game, you're entitled to a bonus quest.
Let's examine how you can obtain all the in-game goodies you are entitled to as part of your Gold Edition.
How to obtain all your Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition bonuses
While all the bonus items are available easily, you'll have to complete a few tasks first.
Once you gain access to these items, it's highly recommended that you add them to your in-game inventory. Having the pieces of clothing would allow you to have bonus stat buffs and successfully pass speech and persuasion checks.
The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition might be $10 more expensive, but the additional bonuses are definitely useful. It will be interesting to find out what the future story expansions have in store for us and whether they will manage to hit it strong with the players.
