History

Perspective
Parent company Network N was founded by James Binns (formerly of Future Publishing) in late May 2012.[1][2][3] PCGamesN launched the following month.[4]
PCGamesN's first website was designed to host traditional games coverage alongside aggregated and user-created content,[1] which was presented to the reader in channels dedicated to major gaming franchises. Over the course of two redesigns since launch, it has evolved to fully embrace a more traditional approach, and now produces original coverage across the gamut of PC games and hardware.
The launch team included Tim Edwards, former editor of PC Gamer.[1] PCGamesN added ten new channels and two new writers for a total of seven staff writers in August 2012.[5] The website added editorial staff from GamesMaster[6] and the Official PlayStation Magazine in 2015,[7] most notably new editor-in-chief Joel Gregory. Gregory brought in staff from Edge magazine and Kotaku UK in 2017,[8] concluded the site's transition away from its experimental first form, and oversaw a redesign, unveiling PCGamesN's current layout in August 2018.[9] Network N Media has since launched updated versions of its other owned sites: The Loadout, Pocket Tactics, Wargamer, The Digital Fix, and Custom PC.[10]
Ben Maxwell took over as editor of PCGamesN in May 2018, before stepping up to a new leadership role within the publishing group in November 2020. He was succeeded in 2020 by Richard Scott-Jones. In 2023, Cameron Bald was appointed Editor of PCGamesN.[11]
