The NZXT Player Three PC, like all of this brand’s gaming computers, has come under a lot of fire in the last year. The revelations that emerged about NZXT’s Flex subscription were a real low point for the PC market last year and a reason I’m sure a lot of people will be giving this brand a seriously wide berth from now on.
I’m strongly against anti-consumer behaviors, so to be completely honest, NZXT’s best gaming PC had its work cut out for it if it wanted to win me over in this review. On the other hand, I do think we can separate NZXT’s problematic rental scheme from the rest of its products. To my disappointment, the Flex scheme still exists, even after 2024’s embarrassing fallout. I’ll say upfront that I do not and will not endorse the Flex subscription in this review. But, if you ignore it entirely, NZXT still has a legitimate selection of gaming PCs available to buy outright, and they sit right up there with the premium PC brands in terms of quality.
