April Fools 2022 is here, and that means squinting at everything that flashes across your screen as you try to decipher what’s fact from fiction. That’s not unlike a typical day on social media, mind you, though it’s a really tough time if you practise the humble trade of news regardless. The Friends set has come to House Flipper, everyone in Among Us is now a horse, and Steve-O is directing a movie musical based on Goat Simulator. If you told me that last one on any other day, I’d probably still believe you.
The land of hardware isn’t exactly safe, either. Razer is up to its usual tomfoolery with a vibrating suit that looks like it belongs on the set of the next Tron movie, Kingston wants to tap into your emotions in order to power its RGB lighting, and OverclockersUK has yeeted RGB out the window entirely by revisiting the land of beige gaming PCs.
Anyway, we need somewhere to dump all the duds we’ve stumbled across during our trips down to the news mines. So without further adieu, here are the best April Fools jokes across PC gaming and hardware in 2022.
Before we start, the masochists among you can see every PCGamesN April Fools story we’ve ever done here. Word on the street is that Elden Ring 2 has been delayed until George RR Martin beats Margit and that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti will need a wind farm for power. Are those stories actually true? We’ll never tell.
Don’t let your dreams be memes. Once a gag on Among Us’ social media accounts, the social deduction game has now got a Horse Mode. It’s only sticking around for one day, so enjoy it while it lasts.
