This story is part of Jacob Roach's ReSpec series, covering the world of PC gaming and hardware. The world of PC gaming moves fast. New titles are constantly being developed and discovered, game-changing hardware launches that could affect your next PC upgrade, and news breaks that can alter the stakes for some of the biggest PC companies in the world.

Were so invested in this corner of the tech industry that were launching a newsletter, and its called ReSpec. Once you sign up, youll get your very own weekly breakdown of the tech behind PC gaming delivered right to your inbox each Friday morning.

The newsletter will include three stories from the week. It could be a breakdown of a recent announcement, a conversation that took place over social media, or something else entirely. The goal is to bring you three stories that are grounded in whats happening in the world of PC hardware that go beyond a simple product announcement.

In addition to the main stories, well have the Min Max section, which is a place to talk about what Ive been up to over the past week. It could be an interesting app that you should check out, or maybe a hidden gem on Steam thats worth picking up. Its a footnote to turn you on to something you may not have known about or provide short updates on what Ive been up to.

Thats the setup of the newsletter were starting with, but its not the final form. Well continue working on the format and consider adding more sections, so if theres something you want to see, you can find my email by clicking my byline above.

So, you might wondering what makes me so qualified to write this newsletter? Well, PC gaming is what I live and breathe I write about the topic day in and day out here at Digital Trends before logging off to go and play games on my PC. I think about it constantly, and I live it constantly, not only understanding the products and dynamics essential to reporting on the topic, but also understanding what its like to actually play games on a PC.

This meeting of professional and personal passion is what led to the ReSpec newsletter. Its also a way to expand our ReSpec column.

If youre unfamiliar, I already write a biweekly column that goes deeper on the intersection between PC hardware and gaming. Weve covered such topics as why Xboxs Quick Resume feature hasnt come to PC yet, the confusing and misleading marketing for laptop GPUs, how one solo developer changed the Steam Deck forever, and so much more. The goal with a ReSpec column is to go deep by investigating or closely analyzing a topic that isnt widely covered. Column entries are big, and they take a long time to put together. These are in-depth features, consisting of sourced interviews and my own testing, that tell unique stories about the tech behind PC gaming.

But in the fast-moving world of PC gaming, theres a lot being left on the cutting room floor. Thats where the ReSpec newsletter comes into play.

Youll still get a full, fat ReSpec ecolumn every two weeks on Sunday mornings. On weeks where Im publishing a column entry, Ill take some space in the newsletter to provide a synopsis about what the column covers. You could consider it sneak peak, or a summarized version of the column regardless, youll get the full scope of what ReSpec is covering in the newsletter before new columns go live.
