Sam Hill

As Digital Trends' Gaming evergreen lead, Sam Hill is here to help you find your new favorite game and dive right in. The team he oversees covers everything from Fortnite skin suggestions and Call of Duty perk tips to complex Baldur's Gate 3 builds and starting a fox farm in Minecraft. You can often find him losing all of his hard-earned loot in Rust or spamming the "Nice shot!" quick chat option in Rocket League (in a toxic way).

Before he came on full-time with Digital Trends, Sam spent a few years as a freelancer, writing tech guides for Input and writing for publications like Outside Magazine, Serious Eats, the Outline, Boston Magazine, and more. He also occasionally writes for The Manual about his outdoor adventures in the Pacific Northwest.

He got his start in journalism at the University of Southern Maine where he joined the Free Press, the student newspaper, after figuring out he didn't want to hang out with the serious English majors who genuinely enjoyed reading James Joyce.

Sam currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where he pretends to be a Trailblazers fan until the legendary Boston Celtics come to town.
