PC Gamer Annual - Volume 9 [2026]

In the latest volume of the PC Gamer Annual, we bring you a collection of the best games, in-depth features and Extra Life mischief from the magazine’s last 13 issues. We celebrate the diversity of PC gaming as a platform in the latest version of our annual Top 100 list, but also address those areas where the medium can still improve. Inside, we investigate crunch in videogame development, and speak to the devs who are trying to kill it for good. Meanwhile, we’ll take you back in time and behind the scenes of Quake’s AFT, the first all-female pro-gaming tournament. We also pay tribute to eight classics that changed PC gaming forever, and much more.
