New games 2025: All the upcoming PC games you won't want to miss, from big hits to hidden gems
The new games of 2025 stack more massive RPGs and open-world adventures against each other.

After 2025's rather busy beginnings with new games like Civilization 7, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds, you may be hoping for a breather—and that's too bad. As the year barrels forward, the 2025 games calendar grows longer, fleshing out dates for faraway favorites like Metal Gear in August and Borderlands 4 in September.
It's a schedule that, in the best and worst ways, looks to keep the pace of more frantic years like 2023—that summer we all ping-ponged wildly between Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and Diablo 4. It's a nice problem to have, but no one is getting through this year without an outlandish backlog or a massive Steam sale wishlist.
If you're looking to plan out your calendar with all of 2025's upcoming games, we can help with the scheduling part. We're tracking all the new games of 2025 that you'll want to know about as they announce release dates and then (inevitably) as some of those release dates get delayed.
New PC game releases
New games this month
These are some of the most-anticipated new games this month but you can find even more below in the July releases section of the calendar.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 | July 11 (Steam)
There are a few weird choices in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake, but hopefully it'll do all the childhood nostalgia some justice. Iron Galaxy studio remade the 3+4 collection "from the ground up," giving them room to add new skaters and rework some of the old challenge format.
Killing Floor 3 | July 24 (Steam)
It missed its first 2025 window, but hopefully Tripwire's horror FPS is better for it. In his Killing Floor 3 preview, Jake was all about the "unapologetic throwback to the gory days of the horde shooter".
Tales of the Shire | July 29 (Steam)
After a series of delays, The Lord of the Rings life sim is out at the end of the month. Andrea played it at Summer Game Fest and was fond of the cottagecore clutter, but Kara had more time to explore in her Tales of the Shire preview and didn't dig the wasted whimsy.
