If you’re looking to spoil either the console or PC gamer in your life – look no further!
Here at Overclockers UK, we’ve put together the ultimate multi-platform gaming gift guide. We’ve selected a few of our favourite gifts that are perfect for both PC and console gaming, including controllers, racing wheels, and ultra-responsive monitors.
Game Controllers
Game controllers can be used with both PC and consoles. Specifically designed for consoles, game pads provide users with an optimised gaming experience.
Whereas, for PC gamers, a game controller can prove beneficial when playing games that favour a controller over standard keyboard and mouse controls. Especially, if you enjoy playing previously console-exclusive titles, such as Spider-Man and God of War.

Plentiful Storage
Having plentiful amounts of storage is crucial for console and PC gaming. Instead of having to delete files or games if your PC storage is getting full and running slow, you can invest in an extra storage drive instead!
On the other hand, consoles aren’t as easily upgradable compared to a PC. It’s easy to run out of storage and find yourself struggling to decide which you wish to delete or keep. However, utilising a portable hard drive or M.2 SSD allows you to keep all your favourite games whilst freeing up precious space on your console.
