Thanks! I believe this is the correct translation. I went with "Jeux pour PC et mobiles"since the article was not technical and I wanted to keep it simple.

neutral  Daryo: 'An entity, such as a device or program, that connects to another entity acting as "server" over a network." // Your definition is too vague, would apply to *anything* connected to a network. + in this ST it's the "software" part that is relevant.

  -> Definitions of 'client' are readily available online. It is software (for games) for PC hardware, i.e. a PC client. Or for mobile hardware.
disagree  Samuel Clarisse: Absolument pas

"Client PC" tout seul n'est pas suffisant

neutral  Thomas T. Frost: Ça ne va pas dire la même chose. Le PC est le client. Ce n'est pas 'logiciel client'./Le client est un PC ici, non pas un logiciel. Voir https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_(informatique)

  -> Ils développent donc des PC client ? Client PC = logiciels, launchers (lanceurs) etc./ Et pourtant... la source explique clairement ce qu'est un logiciel client !
agree  Daryo: the whole PC acts as a "client" - true BUT without the "client software" that wouldn't be possible - and this company makes **the software** - the "client" part running on gamers' PCs
