New on Steam: PC gamers had to wait 28 years for this ingenious tactical role-playing game

We bring you a compact overview of all the important PC releases on Steam this week – from strategy highlights to an alien shooter.

The biggest highlight of the current week is, of course, Ghost of Yotei. Unfortunately, PC gamers won’t be able to enjoy it, as the action blockbuster is being released exclusively for PlayStation 5.

Luckily, we won’t be bored: Steam has some exciting new releases in store for us. As usual, we’re bringing you a compact overview of the most important PC releases at the start of the week.

Highlight of the week: Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles

Genre: Tactical RPG – Developer: Square Enix – Release: September 30, 2025 (Steam)

The classic tactical RPG from 1997 returns in new splendor!  In Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles, you can choose between the original classic version with familiar pixel graphics or the enhanced version with heavily polished character models, fully voiced cutscenes, and an optional new difficulty level for beginners.

At its heart is the famously flexible job system: With over 20 professions—from alchemist and warrior to white and black mage—you’ll learn hundreds of skills and can freely combine them between classes. Add to that collectible monsters like chocobos, which you can integrate into your army as allies.
