Hello PC Builders! As we enter another action-packed month, we’re kicking things off with a major update - v1.15. This time around we’re growing the entire parts range with a variety of fan favourites, extra small form factor options, a mix of often requested white parts, and one more venue to build it all in. First though, we sailed the high seas looking for computing’s finest privateers and returned with one of their newest treasure chests.

Introducing the CORSAIR iCUE 5000T

In a PC Building Simulator first, we’ve teamed up with CORSAIR to celebrate the release of their new iCUE 5000T case.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/dcfad9dabea2436580afd78194384c56f64adc01.png To celebrate the launch of the Free IT Expansion, we've teamed up with Cooler Master to giveaway 3 MasterFrame 700 PC cases. Three lucky winners will each receive a MasterFrame 700 and Steam Keys for PC Building Simulator, so you can experiment with different components in the game and then bring your dream PC to life! Entries must be made via the Gleam page here: https://gleam.io/eVrP0/cooler-master-x-pc-building-sim-giveaway We're also happy to share that this competition is open world wide.

Hello PC Builders! Today we’re releasing another major update, v1.13. In this patch we’re expanding our range of Z590 chipsets, adding more white parts, introducing some AIB Radeon 6000 series cards, sneaking in extra water-cooling goodies, and we’ve been sweet talking the team at Cooler Master about an entirely new type of case. First though, time to step into your new office…

Free content: PC Building Simulator IT Expansion

Our always helpful Uncle Tim has found a new opportunity for you to get out of the workshop and expand on your existing PC building skills - starting immediately! Pivot your career to a new direction and take charge of IT support at the Irratech Corporation. Featuring over 20 hours of new story content, brand new mechanics, and customisable workshop spaces.

Post-beta feedback adjustments:

Following the community feedback from the open beta, we’ve implemented a few changes prior to releasing the IT Expansion, some of the most notable are highlighted below:

Difficulty settings

Similar to the Esports Expansion DLC, players can turn on or off a selection of settings to customise their experience, all of these options are available at any time from the pause menu. This time around we’ve also done away with the achievement for completion without any enabled so it’s purely down to how you prefer to enjoy the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/a8f78ccc79a2f1b3f4c167e48734c60450b8d378.jpg This also includes an option for additional tutorials aimed at players who are new to PC Building Simulator but want to start with the IT expansion instead of the base game.

Tablet Adjustments

Throughout the beta one of the main pieces of feedback we heard was around tablet functionality, we’ve stepped things up by allowing players to access the tablet while working at a workbench along with adding a calendar app to help players keep track of incoming orders. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/684a93622096f5e3c853e4b6ce34ce63d0db8e86.jpg To satisfy those of you with better memories or who prefer the more purist experience we’ve also added an option to the game settings to hide the tablet and associated prompts entirely.

Career changes

Whilst many of us enjoy performing percussive maintenance on office printers we’ve also realised that some of you might not, so we’ve made sure to keep it as an optional objective on career jobs. Rigg’s rigs will also make things a little clearer via a one-time popup to make sure nobody misses out on the new way to turn extra PC parts into cash. Finally, we’ve added two new features to drastically improve the workflow in the IT expansion. Applications in Add/Remove Programs can now be found via a search box and all broken parts can be sold in one click via the inventory.

Introducing the Cooler Master MasterFrame 700

Built with extreme hardware compatibility in mind, the MasterFrame 700 offers new options for both full tower showcase builds and test bench setups - both of which are now available in game as separate cases today. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/8ad637b8cfc35b4515d37b0c217c59c596d13955.jpg Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 (Showcase Mode) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/f718608324f96a6e701dfccbc4e348b9d2937352.jpg Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 (Bench Mode) To celebrate bringing the MasterFrame to PC Building Simulator, the team at Cooler Master are giving 3 of them away which we’ll have full details of in a separate post.

Hello PC Builders! Today we’re announcing the open beta of our second career expansion, themed around IT support! It was developed in collaboration with Futurlab. Whilst we won’t restrict play or feedback to certain countries, it’s important to note the open beta will be available to play in English language only. This is because we haven’t finished writing all of the content and therefore it’s not yet localised to other languages. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/2c28d0b3c60147226a22b6c7fd892f59db1cd53f.jpg To be clear, this is a beta, not a finished product. There’s missing content and there will be bugs. Our main goal with this beta is to get some feedback on the tone and new gameplay elements through a short Google form. This will allow us to refine the whole thing and make sure it’s fun to play, whilst also letting players in on what we’ve been up to. To sweeten the deal, we’re also going to be rewarding one lucky survey responder with a real PC case...

How do I sign up?

Anyone can take part, to get involved head over to the PC Building Simulator store page which we’ve embedded below. https://store.steampowered.com/app/621060/PC_Building_Simulator/ Once you’re there, near the button for buy (or play) is a new option to join the playtest, hit that and you’ll gain a new application in your Steam library – “PC Building Simulator IT Expansion Playtest”. This is a separate download to make sure existing saved games are kept safe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/f22c18f9464cf0f67b8758bb66f6101f0d6cfc77.png

What’s in it for me?

To make filling out the feedback survey linked on the main menu a more attractive option, we’re raiding the PC Building Simulator vaults to give away a real-world prize to a random participant – a limited edition NZXT H700 PC case from PC Building Simulator’s Overclocked Edition DLC and our 2019 triple collaboration with NZXT and Brock Hofer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/20add3fa9a0c5fc6fcb559a5223d2d648b8e5252.jpg Nothing says office job simulation quite like a dinosaur with a flamethrower.

Important information:

• Signups will begin on 21st May 16:00 UTC+1
• Players will be unable to sign up after 1st June 12:00 UTC+1
• The beta will open on 26th May 12:00 UTC+1

Hello PC Builders! Today we’re announcing our next major update, patch v1.11. In this patch we’re releasing another round of new hardware including water cooled GPUs and expanding our range of Ryzen 5000 series processors. Finally, we’ve added a new feature to the Esports DLC allowing the workshops to be used outside of the Esports campaign. But first though, we’re introducing a brand-new workshop…

EVGA Workshop DLC

Celebrating another community favourite, today we’re introducing our latest partner workshop DLC built in collaboration with EVGA. Step into a world of neon overglow inspired by TeamEVGA and EVGA’s famous Game Arena. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1591920/PC_Building_Simulator__EVGA_Workshop/ To give players a better look inside we’ve teamed up with JVN Gaming for a special episode of Free Build Extreme showing off the new aesthetic:

Water cooled GPUs

Alongside the workshop we’re also bringing the first of this generation’s custom loop compatible GPUs to PC Building Simulator, featuring entries from both NVIDIA’s RTX 30 series and AMD’s RX 6000 series graphics cards courtesy of EVGA and Corsair. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/64f004970df2d0d6fc2010fd9cd82dc3fcd2b414.jpg

As both line-ups continue to make waves, we’re happy to keep up the pace and introduce these often-requested parts to the game today.

New Partner: Acer

As another major part of v1.11 we’re welcoming a brand-new partner to PC Building Simulator – ACER, who join the game with two of their high-performance Predator monitors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/8674e0caaad5dc7f4a95dc797895b27c5a6ade99.png

ACER Predator XB273K

Marking their first entries in PCBS, players can pay homage to the Intel Extreme Masters powering brand and bring a slice of the Predatorverse to their workshops.

Esports Workshops

After reading user reviews on the Esports Expansion DLC, in patch v1.9 we added a selection of difficulty options to allow players to customise their career experience. Today we’re following up with another new feature – allowing players who own the DLC to use 3 of the workshops featured in the expansion in the base game career and free build modes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/39a6c2dd2823c11d3ace7e0955c1de89ab92f7de.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/7286ddf314845926c25af7d942e2f6a603d7dbd8.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/af985ae4c9b2f1782ea3f439c4fceeec69cec84d.jpg To celebrate our latest update to the Esports Expansion DLC we’re starting a second Let’s Play series – this time with BigJake901 where he’ll be playing the Esports career for the very first time.

Hey PC Builders! Today we’re releasing a mini update as we focus on delivering the various console patches and work through a number of hotly requested parts to include in the next major PC release. This should be familiar to those of you who remember our minor Threadripper update and the major release that followed towards the end of last year. Today we’re pushing several bug fixes as we look to address issues with existing parts and bringing the PC Building Simulator Soundtrack to our official YouTube channel! As ever though, it wouldn’t be patch day if we didn’t start with something special…

Happy anniversary to Murder by Numbers!

Around this time last year, we published the hit detective puzzle game Murder by Numbers, created by our friends over at Mediatonic (now widely known for Fall Guys). We’re joining in on the celebrations PC Building Simulator style by adding a series of retro inspired peripherals, showcasing some of the iconic art from the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/92972841ce546576dd171127c9bd1489dd661a44.gif Players can now add some 90’s inspired beige to the workshop complete with shots of the game’s picross puzzle solving crime fighting duo!

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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/7e5e7d4ca9126b83a4661202c52b8df90707625c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/ad7124853f582078f435c90b8870993d597baee2.jpg 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. We're aware of an issue with the Cloud Notes app in the current patch affecting users playing with Japanese or Chinese input. Currently, the issue is only present when actively editing a note and should be fine once you have finished writing. We will investigate the issue and provide an update once our team is back after the Christmas holidays. - This issue has been fixed in a recent hotfix 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). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/619f44bb433057023298ef13b0aed5b7559c54b0.jpg 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.

Hello PC Builders! Today we’re rolling out another patch following on from recent hotfixes. This update addresses a number of bugs along with the highly anticipated adjustments to Threadripper processors and patches for memory overclocking on Intel chipsets. As before, we’d like to thank the community for all of their feedback which has been key throughout development – iterating this quickly wouldn’t be possible without you. But first, along with today’s changes…

Introducing AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors

Continuing our commitment to keeping up with an incredibly busy hardware season, today we’re happy to welcome Zen 3 processors to PC Building Simulator, with special thanks to the team at AMD. These parts are unlocked at level 33 (with the 5950x being unlocked about 1/3rd into the level itself). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/ca65f6187539857787917d0585685a874382e141.jpg Thousands of fans tuned in to AMD’s recent ‘Where Gaming Begins’ announcements, so as with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3090 added in last month’s mega update we wanted to get initial versions to everyone as soon as possible. Players can expect a more expansive update to follow soon, and as ever there’s room for traditional speculation over on our discord.

Taming the beast – Threadripper revisited

Along with introducing the latest AMD desktop processors we wanted to assist players in conquering Threadripper CPUs in PC Building Simulator. Referring to a large selection of published benchmarks we aimed to bring the thermals of the famous enthusiast chip closer to real world data. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/727718f34c1c07df37fb03a3734cce3881e9b179.jpg After significant adjustment behind the scenes we’re now allowing much easier cooling at stock, however more extreme builders can expect it to remain a hefty overclocking challenge. Additionally, with these changes we’re allowing ourselves much more room to tune all flavours of cooling in future across PC Building Simulator’s entire CPU range.

Memory Overclocking

In the last update, memory overclocking was inadvertently limited on Intel boards and only appeared when paired with K or X series processors. Today it’s back and working as intended allowing overclocking and XMP to correctly appear on boards across the Intel chipset range.

Bug Fixes:

Finally, we’ve got a several other fixes going into this patch along with some tweaks to the new filter system. Check out the full list below:

• Search will no longer reset on returning to build mode.
• Fixed an issue leading to builds using Open Benchtable cases getting too hot.
• Fixed an issue with filters combining cases and motherboard options.
• Removed a number of redundant filter options from PSU Lengths
• Removed ‘RAM type’ from motherboard filter category.
• Removed ‘Type’ filter from Case Fans category
• Added price filters to items in inventory.
• Added ‘Chipset’ filters to CPUs

Introducing the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3090

As many of you who reached out to us via social media, Discord, and the support email know; we’re consistently working around the clock to bring the latest hardware to the game. Today we get to reveal the first NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 30 Series graphics cards in PC Building Simulator, with special thanks to the team at MSI. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/8041a8dcdcf917d6e777ad5ddc1d32f658470e52.jpg

Esports Expansion DLC

Over the past few months we’ve heard significant feedback from the community around the Esports Expansion. Initially we followed up with a number of bug fixes and pledged to address the concerns reported over the launch. Today we’re pushing a number of adjustments, including difficulty toggles. These can be applied to both new and existing games – tweaking timers, revealing hidden objectives and more to customise your experience. Try them out and let us know what you think. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/f75d6d99902a5202e92d393659f3103d2e1650e1.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29849469/505e8723288c67c3a9791317c601da4229c8ad1f.jpg We’ve also received additional input on our Chinese localisation, this has allowed us to ensure that the translated job objectives are significantly clearer and more understandable to players than before.

New parts

Additionally, in this update we’re bringing in over 60 extra parts along with another new feature for PC Building Simulator making it easier than ever to find the ones you want.
