The PC Gaming Show 2026 has wrapped up, and it was a corker. Over 60 games, more than 20 world premieres, and some fantastic interviews and behind the scenes sneak peeks. What was your favourite moment? I can't answer that because it would be like picking a favourite child, but you can let us know down in the comments.

If you couldn't keep up with the slew of games or you just want a handy recap of everything we saw in one place, then this is the article for you. Read on to see every single thing in the show in the order it appeared. You can also see every game on our Steam page.

Sated

World Premiere

We didn't go too long without another world premiere. Sated is another cooking game with a magical twist, but this time, you're in a horror game, not a cosy restaurant.

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand

Yes there are, that name is a bald-faced lie. Meet police officer Alex Watson in this new musical trailer for There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. Too bad he's going to die in 30 days.

2 Fights 2 Tight Spaces

World Premiere

Yep, it's really called that, and I love it. This is a must for any action movie fans. It's a deckbuilder that drops you right into a bunch of fights in spaces that are, well, too small to be throwing fists in. You can play the game right now, too. Check it out on Steam.

Stronghold 4

Planet Zoo 2

Planet Zoo 2 was next up, and the addition of aquariums and aviaries in the management sim absolutely delighted me. Not only do you get to build enclosures for animals, but you can release them into nature preserves. You can pre-order the game on Steam.

Empulse

We never got a Titanfall 3, but we are getting Empulse, a wall running, mech piloting, frenetic shooter that'll delight fans of Titanfall 2.

Arkheron

We flew all the way to the West Coast to get a behind-the-scenes look at Arkheron, an isometric Diablo-like battle royale where you ascend a tower.

Wardogs

Wardogs is a shooter that blends a persistent economy with 100-player strong firefights. Duke it out with guns and vehicles and earn in-game cash as you play.

Shroom and Gloom

We're just over halfway through the announcements here, is that why you're so gloomy? Sorry, couldn't resist. Shroom and Gloom is a deck-building roguelite with not one, but two decks: one is for exploration and the other is for combat. It's got a new demo out now, so you can see how it all works.

Maximum Thunderness

World Premiere

Now that's a trailer that's sure to wake you up. With more explosions than a Michael Bay film, Maximum Thunderness is a roguelite shooter with "the energy and aesthetic of a Saturday morning cartoon" and a banging theme song to go along with it. It's coming out later this year, and you can wishlist it on Steam now.

Rivage

We first revealed this game during the 2025 Most Wanted show, and it's back with a new gameplay trailer and a demo you can try out. It's an atmospheric sci-fi puzzle game set on board a space station stuck in a timeloop. Or, in other words, exactly the kind of game I love.

Time Strike

We revealed Time Strike in another world premiere. It's a FPS game where you can stop time to dodge bullets, line up headshots, and even tear down walls. You can wishlist it on Steam now.

Signet City

World Premiere

Signet City is a punk-infused world premiere from the creator of Citizen Sleeper. It's an RPG set in a city with a severe fungal infestation—a city that looks a lot like my hometown London, mind you—but beyond that we don't know much. Wishlist it on Steam to stay up to date.

Mr Magpie’s Harmless Card Game

Another deckbuilder, Mr. Magpie's Harmless Card Game really isn't all that harmless. You're trapped in an elevator and have to flip over cards that help you and avoid the ones that hinder you. If you don't, a puppet will shoot you. Wild. Wishlist the game on Steam if you ever hope to escape that dastardly lift.

Ascenders: Beyond the Peak

Ascenders: Beyond the Peak is a tactical single-player roguelite in which you have to guide a team of three up deadly mountains. Everyone is tied together by a single rope, limiting movement options, and as you ascend, Lovecraftian horrors await you. Check out its demo on Steam.

Outward 2

Outward 2 combines survival mechanics like hunger, thirst, and crafting, with an open world and action RPG combat. Do you reckon you can survive in its harsh wilderness? Well, prove you can by playing the beta, available now. Right now.

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered

World Premiere

Nightdive revealed that it's been hard at work remastering the absolute classic stealth game Thief. Thief: The Dark Project Remastered looks like it keeps to the spirit and style of the original while making it just modern enough to be enjoyed on current hardware. Wishlist it on Steam.

Exo Rally Championship

You know what I thought to myself when I played Exo One? "Man, I wish I could race on these planets." Well, now I can, and you can too. Exo Rally Championship shadowdropped during the show, so head on over to Steam to play "the galaxy’s most dangerous off-road racing event."

Duskers 2.0

World Premiere

Duskers 2.0 is an eerie sequel to the award winning strategy game Duskers. Pilot drones through the wreckage of old spaceships and try to save as many people trapped in cryo as you can. Check it out on Steam.

Indie hit maker Strange Scaffold is back with a sequel to El Paso, Elsewhere. Battle through over 20 hand-crafted levels in this third-person shooter while you listen to a sick hip hop soundtrack. You can wishlist it on Steam.

Beast of Reincarnation

Game Freak continues its themes of nature and decay in this action RPG. We sent a crew to Japan to get some answers about what's in store for us when the game launches August 3. Pre-order it on Steam now.

Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent

Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent marks the first time the board game has made its way over to PC. Battle through dungeons with your friends in a co-op campaign or go solo as you try to aid a world facing relentless darkness. Best of all, this was another shadow drop, so you can go and play it right now.

To Kill a God

To Kill a God turns your map into your skill tree, making the trek into part of your progression. It's an action RPG with a survivors-like aesthetic, and you can try the demo out for yourself.

Pipes.exe

World Premiere

What's your favourite screensaver? Trick question: it's the pipes, everyone loves the pipes. Well, we revealed a new game where you become a QA tester at a software company and hunt bugs with your friends. You can wishlist it on Steam now.

Sunset Summit

World Premiere

Sunset Summit is both another world premiere and another co-op game, only the set up is very different. Here, you've got to climb a mountain with your buddies, and use unusual tools like pogo sticks and booster pills to clamber up all the floating platforms. Check out the demo on Steam.

Clowntown

World Premiere

Clowntown is what happens when you try to figure out what would happen if you tried the clown car gag but with minigames. The result is over 80 challenges for you and your friends to play through, and a trio of world premiere co-op games. It's available to wishlist now on Steam.

Armatus

Paris is burning in this roguelite shooter and only an ancient knight plucked out of his time can save it from the demons running rampant. It's launching this winter, so wishlist it now to remind yourself to get it as a stocking filler.

Dave the Diver In the Jungle DLC

To shake things up, we had a live-action trailer in the show too. This one adds some hilairous context to Dave the Diver's upcoming In the Jungle DLC, which adds a whole new body of water to explore, a new restaurant, and a drum minigame that I'm sure I'll be terrible at. You can wishlist it on Steam.

Carcass Clad

World Premiere

Carcass Clad might take the crown for most messed up trailer of the show. Considering it's a game made by the Mouthwashing devs, that's no surprise. In this new adventure, you and two friends will have to man a tank and fight through a warzone where a cultish army adorns their vehicles with the bodies of dead animals, and sometimes even live ones. Wishlist it on Steam, if you're into that sort of thing, which I am.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000

Warhammer 40,000 finally gets the Total War treatment in this grand strategy game. It looks like it truly captures the scales of the hostile 40K universe, and will let you play as four iconic factions. Keep an eye on the Creative Assembly and Sega social channels for upcoming beta opportunities. You can also wishlist the game on Steam.

About Fishing

Y'know, a lot of the games in this showcase are telling fibs in their titles. About Fishing is a mystery game set in a small, eerie town, and while you do do some impressive physics-based fishing, there's a lot more going on, too. Download the demo on Steam if you want to cast your line and try it out.

Vampire the Masquerade: Eternal Whispers

World Premiere

Vampire the Masquerade is back with Eternal Whispers, a narrative-driven CRPG, but beyond that, we don't know much. Vampires are pretty secretive, after all. There's no combat in the trailer, so you may have to use your words in this upcoming game. Check it out on Steam.

Valheim 1.0

Valheim is finally leaving early access and launching its 1.0 version September 9, 2026. It'll also be releasing its Deep North update which adds a frozen biome and new enemies to fight and lands to explore. You can grab the game on Steam now if you don't already have it.

P.O.N

P.O.N is a crime simulator like no other. Rather than going up against cops, guards, or even other criminals, you're in a world full of superheroes. This co-op first-person horror experience isn't one for the faint of heart. Wishlist it on Steam if you reckon you can beat a superhero.

Locator: The Search for Abigail Lidari

Put a narrative into Geoguessr and set it on an alien world and you've got yourself Locator: The Search for Abigail Lidari, a puzzle game that'll put your sleuthing skills to the test. You can wishlist it on Steam now.

Exodus

We aired a highlight reel of all the coolest moments from the Exodus Future Games Show Summer Showcase extended gameplay reveal. Catch a glimpse of the combat, exploration, companions, and effects of time dilation. Since you can't time travel, wishlist Exodus on Steam and wait until it launches.

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy

This was the penultimate game, so please don't run away, even if the pregnant nuns are really terrifying. Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy is the third instalment in the cult horror series, and it really dials the weirdness up to 11. Search an abandoned villa for clues to unravel the strange past of the Red Nun. Wishlist it on Steam.

Into the Wind

World Premiere

Of course our final game had to be a world premiere. Into the Wind is a gorgeous game in which you take over your uncle's Mediterranean delivery business. You get a bike with wings and even take part in some dogfights. It's a bit Kiki's Delivery Service, a bit Death Stranding, only without the apocalypse looming. You can wishlist it on Steam now.

And that's all, folks. I hope you enjoyed this instalment of the PC Gaming Show as much as we enjoyed making it for you. Don't forget to head on over to our Steam page to check out every single game that featured.
