Another year, another April Fool’s Day, is another miserable and anxious minefield for global news writers. As a tradition of PC Gamer, we have collected the best (and worst) pranks and clowns that game companies concocted today (but we don’t make any April Fools’ jokes ourselves, just let you know).
We will update this group of pranks throughout the day-don’t forget to comment on those we might have missed.
Blizzard decided to release an experimental patch for “Overwatch” on April 1st to make a series of changes to the game’s characters. Highlights include:
Technically speaking, this is not an April Fool’s Day gimmick, but an actual product you can buy. But yes, it is a chili dog-flavored G Fuel energy drink inspired by the Sanic Hegehog meme, which makes it close enough to be included on this list. The website is accompanied by a complete warning, stating that the drink “really tastes like a chili dog!” Unfortunately, the transportation is limited to the United States and Canada, which is undoubtedly a huge disappointment for gamers in other parts of the world. .
Because I am a serious journalist, I asked for a sample of the G Fuel Chili Dog energy drink inspired by Sanic, hoping to find others to provide you with inspiration/entertainment.
(For Honor’s playground version is actually a real one-day event with “whisperous game elements”, including shiny rainbows and colorful confetti, and lasts until April 2nd at 9:30 am Pacific time /12:30 PM Eastern Time.)
If there is one thing that dogs like, it is traveling by car. Nothing can cause immediate and absolute chaos in my house like “Who wants to go for a drive?” Recognizing this very niche but underserved market, Logitech launched the new K923, the first racing steering wheel designed specifically for dogs and the flagship product of its new Dogitech series.

An early draft of the next World of Warcraft patch has been leaked, revealing plans for a new raid, dungeon, and two new classes, Sea Shanty Singing and Wand Vision:
A study to enhance your own abilities, Wand Vision enables you to recast spells and also allows you to steal the best abilities of other people to use as your own. Starting from black and white and then turning to color, Wand Vision always has the best slot statistics for everything that falls. Unfortunately, after a while, you must return to reality. There are rules in life. We cannot rush to age because of convenience, nor can we reverse death. But what is the spoils, if not RNG insists?
Butterfly knives are probably the coolest bladed weapon because you can flip them to expose and hide the blades at an amazing speed. They are a bit like barbed nunchakus that you can hold with one hand. Fans kept asking for one to be added to Valorant, and Riot finally achieved it.
We have listened to your feedback, and like all our skins, we try to elaborate an alternative theme fantasy for our skin set instead of just doing the expected thing. With this, we are happy to show you the first VALORANT butterfly knife! ! @PlayVALORANT pic.twitter.com/F1kDFuZO1l April 1, 2021
The title update 4.1.0 of Immortals Fenyx Rising, informally known as Godly Patch, corrects some problems with the Greek god Zeus, which may actually have been developed by Zeus.
Fenyx has also made some game adjustments, including damage to all skills +2000%, unlimited endurance gains whenever Fenyx praises Zeus, and a maximum monster health of 10.
Without some brazen risk-taking behavior of the RGB overlord itself, this would not be the summary of April Fools’ Day. I think Chroma hair dye is really something Razer will do, if possible. Then, I can synchronize my hair with the Razer mask while wearing my Razer outfit and sipping soda from the Razer straw.
Let’s face it, trying to use any graphics card at this time is a joke in itself. The hardware YouTuber Captains Workspace took a cunning attack on the catastrophic state of 3000 series usability while showing off a very perfect GPU that is twice the size of my head and powerful enough to blow away a child.
I have to admit that I am a little obsessed with the cute skit of April Fools’ Day, and the video of Roccat’s Burst HE floating mouse puzzles me. The perfect combination of light and humor is also a painful and obvious joke.
Starting today, you can play @ControlRemedy on the first PlayStation system. This is a short clip, provided by our lead game designer Tommi Saalasti, who is the promoter of this port. Hope you like it!
