Another year has gone by, and we’ve played tons of games. But what’s coming up next? We’ve got a big list for you if you play on PC.
2025 was a pretty good year for PC gaming. While there were a few disappointments—for instance, fans of Civilization 7 had hoped for much more—there were also some amazing surprises. Among the best games of the entire year were undoubtedly Clairs Obscur: Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. But Hades 2, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Anno 117 are also worth mentioning!
But enough about last year! You’re here because you’re interested in the present—or even the future.2026 already has some high-caliber game releases in the pipeline. As always, this list focuses primarily on PC games—we’re leaving consoles out of the mix. That’s why you won’t find GTA 6 on the list, as it most likely won’t be released on PC in 2026.
