}}PBG HC is the original Hardcore series that all subsequent Hardcore series, deemed "Fan Hardcores," have been based off of. The series was hosted by [[PeanutButterGamer|PBG]], a co-founder of the Hardcore concept who also edited the series for its first five seasons. Later, [[SpaceHamster|Jeff]] took control of editing the show for the next four seasons. The show was then edited by [[Todd Schlickbernd|Todd]]. The mains were PBG, Jeff and [[Dean]], with [[Barry Kramer|Barry]] being a regular. [[ProJared|Jared]] and [[McJones]] were former mains. McJones was also the other co-founder of the Hardcore concept and retired from the series for personal reasons.

On May 19th, 2021, it was announced that PBG Hardcore had ended and that it was being succeeded by [[NormalBoots Hardcore]].
