Write for PC Gamer

Perhaps you've noticed that there are a lot of computer games. And there are even more things happening in those games: patches, changes to the meta, weird bugs, fan outcry, insane backflip no-scope headshots, and Easter eggs, to name a few. How did the most recent Destiny 2 expansion shake things up? Who's OP in Dota 2 right now? What crazy scheme are EVE Online players cooking up?

We rely on experts in and outside of our team to help us tell the stories of what's happening in the biggest PC games. And we'd love to find a few more experienced freelance writers who know a ton about one or more popular PC games to pitch in. Is that you? Read on.

You should probably be:

  1. An experienced writer who can write great, conversational and informative stories, guides, or original reporting
  2. An expert on one or more popular games, hardware components, or areas of PC gaming
  3. Eager to publish something about one of these games that most PC gamers need to read
  4. Reliable, communicative, and a legend at receiving feedback
