The new PC Gamer magazine is out now and this month the Steam Deck takes centre stage. We've had world-exclusive access and inside this issue you'll find absolutely everything you need to know about Valve's new handheld. There's our full hands-on preview, expert analysis on the Deck's potential, an in-depth interview with developers, and Valve's plans for the future of handheld gaming.

Elsewhere in the magazine, we dive into how iconic games like Doom, Quake, and Deus Ex were inspired by Dungeons & Dragons and chat with the game's developers to find out more.

For previews this month, we've got early impressions of Far Cry 6, Guardians of the Galaxy, Saints Row, Jurassic World Evolution 2, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Martha is Dead, and Ixion.

If you're after in-depth reviews, we've got you covered. This issue has our verdicts for Humankind, 12 Minutes, Axiom Verge 2, The Forgotten City, Hell Let Loose, King's Bounty 2, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, and more.
