The prettiest screenshots of 2015

Features
By Tyler Wilde published 26 December 2015

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

We take a lot of screenshots throughout the year, whether for reviews, our Pixel Boost column, or just for the hell of it. Last year we had a good time collecting our favorite bits of virtual photography, so here we are again, with our best screenshots of 2015. Alright, they might not be the best screens anyone took all year, but they're our contribution. If you're at all interested in the art of video game capture, I highly recommend checking out DeadEndThrills, as well as Other Places, a video series by our own Andy Kelly (who took the screenshot above).

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
