Gamers show their true colors at the PC Gamer Weekender


Introduction

Yellow PC

The PC Gamer Weekender is underway at London’s Old Truman Brewery.

A Mecca for PC gamers, the venue is playing host to the latest in cutting-edge hardware, informative PC building sessions and the latest blockbuster titles — including playable versions of Dark Souls 3 and Total War: Warhammer.

Techradar went behind the scenes to bring you a series of highlights direct from the show floor. It’s often said that PC gamers are greens (for Nvidia) or reds (for AMD), but as the following pictures show, they’re every colour in the rainbow.

Thinking of heading down? Standard passes for Sunday March 6 will be available on the door. See PC Gamer’s website for more details.
