Parent company Network N was founded by James Binns (formerly of
Future Publishing) in late May 2012.
PCGamesN launched the following month. PCGamesN's first website was designed to host traditional games coverage alongside aggregated and user-created content, The website added editorial staff from
GamesMaster and the
Official PlayStation Magazine in 2015, most notably new
editor-in-chief Joel Gregory. Gregory brought in staff from
Edge magazine and
Kotaku UK in 2017, concluded the site's transition away from its experimental first form, and oversaw a redesign, unveiling PCGamesN's current layout in August 2018. Network N Media has since launched updated versions of its other owned sites:
The Loadout,
Pocket Tactics,
Wargamer,
The Digital Fix, and
Custom PC. Ben Maxwell took over as editor of PCGamesN in May 2018, before stepping up to a new leadership role within the publishing group in November 2020. He was succeeded in 2020 by Richard Scott-Jones. In 2023, Cameron Bald was appointed Editor of PCGamesN. == References ==
