Dustin Bailey joined the GamesRadar team as a Staff Writer in May 2022, and is currently based i🐬n Missouri. He's been covering games (with occasional dalliances in the worlds of anime and pro wrestl🦋ing) since 2015, first as a freelancer, then as a news writer at PCGamesN for nearly five years. His love for games was sparked somewhere between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Knights of the Old Republic, and these days you can usually find him splitting his entertainment time between retro gaming, the latest big action-adventure title, or a long haul in American Truck Simulator.
