With a momentary lull in what’s been a bustling year of happenings in the gaming industry, we wanted to take a moment to mention some changes to the PC Gamer team that we’re excited about.
In the last few months PC Gamer has hired several new editors and elevated longstanding members to new positions. With these additions, in our more than 30 years as a publication, the PC Gamer team has never been bigger or more experienced. Some of these new faces and new roles will be helping to build new projects and forms of coverage that we’re excited to unveil soon, and others are dedicated to supporting the craft and journalism that goes into the substantive news, reviews, editorial reactions, and other stuff that amounts to more than 800 stories per month (did you know we’re doing some fun stuff on TikTok?).
Notably, Phil Savage, a veteran editor with more than a decade of experience, becomes Global Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer and will lead PC Gamer’s editorial direction. Phil replaces Evan Lahti, who becomes Strategic Director.
