Welcome to PCGamingWiki
161,532 wiki pages | 1,423,482 page edits | 38,318 registered users

What is our goal?

The goal of PCGamingWiki is to have a page dedicated to every single PC game, and for that page to contain everything one would need to know in order for the game to be 'up to date' and provide them the best possible experience. This would include 'how to' information such as:

  • Cloud syncing save data
  • Bug workarounds
  • Skip videos and cutscenes
  • Borderless fullscreen windowed
  • Save game locations
  • Mods considered essential
  • Console commands and cfgs
  • Latest patch or fan patch
  • Hardware
  • Common errors
  • Digital/retail differences
  • Graphical issues

Good sample articles of all of the above:
