HELLO PC BUILDERS!
We are happy to announce that we’re sneaking in one more patch before the holiday break. In today’s update we’re giving the gift of some much-requested virtual goodies including a wide variety of RTX 30 series GPUs.
Additionally, we’re launching two different YouTube series, a fresh in game application, adjusting existing parts stats with a balance pass and fixing a selection of bugs reported by the community. First though, in traditional fashion, we’re starting this update with an extra special announcement…
INTRODUCING STEELSERIES
To start off today’s content patch we’re welcoming one of the most prestigious peripheral manufacturers to the game, SteelSeries! Players can now change their desks devices to a selection of their famous Arctis headsets, Apex keyboards, Rival mice, Sensei mice, and QcK mousepads.
This also includes exciting highlights from the limited-edition Neon Rider x Steelseries collaboration, perfect for the synth-wave aesthetic.
To celebrate, the team at SteelSeries have also given us vouchers to give away in the USA, Canada and Europe for an Arctis 7 Headset, Apex 7 TKL Keyboard, Arctis 1 Wireless Headset, and a Rival 600 Mouse so if you are in one of those regions be sure to check out the official giveaway post.
NEW IN GAME APPLICATION: CLOUD NOTES
Next up, we’re pleased to introduce another new feature for 1.10: The Cloud Notes application. This is a new tool, installed by add remove programs, via USB stick on client computers, and available in the inventory screen. The notes application gives users an often-requested way to write down information, helping players keep track across multiple or more complex jobs.
For now, it’s only available in the base game, as it’s very new we’re expecting to add it to the Esports DLC in a later update.

PC BUILDING SIMULATOR CREATORS
Over the past couple of months, we’ve been looking for additional ways to bring excitement to the community and step up our social media game. We’ve reached out to some of our favourite creators and agreed on a pilot series with each of them – all directly on the official PC Building Simulator YouTube channel. We’re excited to work together on bringing more than just the latest trailers and PC Building raps.
Check out the first episodes with JVN Gaming joining us for extreme PC builds and BigJake901 teaching overclocking 101 below:
BALANCE DATA:
Finally, thanks to our friends at UL Benchmarks and following real-world supply increases, we’ve rebalanced a number of existing parts in this release (thanks to better user data samples).
Recent hardware releases have been an interesting challenge for us as a team and the user feedback has, as always, been appreciated.
ONE MORE THING / I JESZCZE JEDNO:
Today, after many passionate requests from the community, we’ve added Polish localisation to the Esports Expansion DLC. We’re also aiming to provide Polish language options for all store pages in the near future so please look forward to it.
