Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“PC Versus is an unproven but ambitious project. Early Access helps us steer the development to a path which people want, not just what we want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This is extremely tricky to say, as it largely depends on community feedback. But we hope it wouldn't be more than a year after initial release”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan on featuring:

- Complete progression system
- Full implementation of game mechanics such as synergy
- Multiple game modes
- Inventory and deck building systems
- Tech tree and store system
- Refined matchmaking
- Leaderboards
- Polished UI, improved visual effects, better sound effects, and more”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, we have the core gameplay loop ready with a single casual game mode: Draft. You can get a feel for how the core loop works without committing to a progression system”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We believe community is the most important piece for any game, let alone PC Versus. As we are in uncharted territory, community feedback matters more than ever. It will directly shape the future of the game. We plan on posting transparent devlogs as the game is being built so the community can step in and stop us if something's not right before it even gets built!”

About This Game

Prove your build is better in the first ever competitive PC building game. Pick components, chase performance and push your overclocks against other players in an intense quick 3 minute match format.

Same task, same budget, one winner. Pick your components under a time limit and let the simulation decide who built it better. Tasks are based on what people actually use their PCs for, from hitting a target FPS in a game to getting a productivity workload done in time. The budget never covers everything you want, so you WILL have to make trade-offs. When the timer ends, both PCs run the task side by side and get scored on 5 categories: primary task, secondary task, thermals, price to performance and compatibility.

Squeeze out every last MHz. Push your CPU, GPU and RAM to the edge, just don't go overboard. You get BCLK, multipliers, voltages, XMP/EXPO and memory timings to play with. There are 3 OC tiers, and the higher the tier the bigger the bonus. Push too far though and your PC might not even boot. Or it boots fine and then blue screens halfway through the run. Either way, it results in an instant loss.

Counter your opponent's move before they even make one. Peek at their deck, swap on your own. You get one Spec Check per match and it shows what your opponent brought for a component type. So if they're stacked on GPUs, you'll know that before you commit to yours. Deck doesn't fit the task? Swap in any component from your inventory.

Turn a weaker build into a winning one. Match brands, push your clocks, stack the bonuses. Synergy rewards you for using components from the same brand. Use a cooler and power supply from the same brand and you've started a synergy, add more and it grows. Your OC bonus stacks on top of that.

Relive fourteen years of PC hardware. Start in 2012, collect 800+ real components and earn your rep in every era. Everyone starts in the Pre-2014 era. CPUs, GPUs and motherboards unlock through tech trees. RAM, coolers, storage and PSUs come from the daily store instead, which rotates every day. Every era also has its own rep, rewards and tasks.

The meta never sleeps. Every week, the game tracks what components the community is using the most and adjusts prices accordingly. Popular components get more expensive, underused ones get cheaper. It works like real life supply and demand, so the part nobody touches now might be the best deal in the game next week.

Free to play, installs in minutes, runs on anything. Download and start your PC Versus journey before you can even make a cup of coffee.
