Jacob Ridley

Senior Hardware Editor

Jacob earned his first byline writing for his own tech blog from his hometown in Wales. From there, he graduated to professionally breaking things as hardware writer at PCGamesN, where he was one half of a popular weekly hardware YouTube show. He would later win command of the kit cupboard as hardware editor, before joining PC Gamer's world-class team as senior hardware editor. Today you'll find him spending his days reporting on the latest developments in the technology and gaming industry. He's also often found reporting from floors, benches, and, if he's lucky, plush press rooms at the biggest tech shows, such as Computex and CES. 


He also likes to make TikToks when he can, and believes everyone reading this should go follow the PC Gamer TikTok account immediately. When he's not writing about GPUs and CPUs, you'll find Jacob trying to get as far away from the modern world as possible by wild camping.
