How this site works

Hi, I'm Matt. I run Supra Digital, a small web development agency, and I also run Create PCs, where we build custom gaming PCs in the UK. PC Games Guide is the site I wish existed when I was helping customers figure out what kind of PC they actually needed for the games they wanted to play.

Where the data comes from

Game metadata (titles, release dates, descriptions, genres, cover art) comes from IGDB. System requirements are pulled from the official Steam store page for each game, parsed and normalised, then displayed alongside the original verbatim text so you can verify the parse. UK prices come from Steam's GBP storefront. Where we cross-reference reviews or similar games, we use RAWG.

Where the hardware advice comes from

Years of building gaming PCs at Create PCs, and seeing what actually performs in real games — not just on benchmarks. When we recommend a Create PCs build, it's because we'd recommend that build for that game regardless of whether you bought it from us or built it yourself. When a self-build is the better answer at a given budget, we say so.

How current is it?

Every game page shows a "last verified" date. We update specs after major patches (Cyberpunk 2.0, Starfield's update cycle, etc.) and we revisit hardware recommendations every quarter. If you spot something wrong, email hello@pcgamesguide.co.uk and we'll fix it.

The Create PCs relationship

Create PCs is operated by the same team. Every link from this site to Create PCs uses UTM parameters so we know whether the recommendations are actually useful. Editorial decisions on this site never mention "the best builder in the UK" — they say "for this build, we'd recommend Create PCs" and you can take or leave it.
