Player PCs
The Player PC Series by NZXT traces its origins back to 2019, when the company sparked an idea to create a line of pre-built gaming PCs tailored to meet the needs of diverse users. This initiative aimed to simplify the process for those who wanted a reliable, high-performance gaming setup without the complexity of building a PC from scratch. While the Player PC Series was designed to cater to a wide range of users, from professionals needing powerful workstations to casual gamers seeking an entry point, its primary audience has always been PC gamers. These PCs were thoughtfully curated with configurations that deliver optimal gaming experiences, combining performance, quality, and sleek design. By blending user-focused design with NZXT's expertise in gaming hardware, the Player PC Series became a gateway for gamers to dive into their favorite worlds with ease and confidence.

Player: PC Series
NZXT rebranded its prebuilt PC lineup, moving away from individual names like Flex, Express, and Play after discovering these names didn’t resonate with the target audience. The lineup was reintroduced as the Player PC Series, with a clearer and more intuitive naming convention. Each category corresponds to a color and is numbered—Player: One, Player: Two, and Player: Three—offering distinct tiers, each with its own Base and Prime models to suit different performance needs and user preferences.

Gaming PCs
After testing the market with the Starter PC lineup, results revealed a strong demand for prebuilt systems. To establish a clear identity, the team adopted a more personalized approach, designing PCs tailored to different gaming personalities. By aligning performance and aesthetics with various playstyles, the lineup was introduced as Express, Flex, and Play, offering systems uniquely suited to each gamer’s individual identity.
2019
Starter PC Series
The Starter PC Series served as the beta for what has now become the core of NZXT's offerings: the Player PCs. The idea for the Starter PC series originated from the build team, who saw the potential in offering prebuilt performance PCs ready for use. At the time, NZXT also offered the NZXT BLD service, which allowed customers to customize their PC components. The Starter PC series wasn’t intended to replace NZXT BLD but to provide an additional option for gamers seeking a ready-built machine without the need for customization.
