The best PC games right now

Rematch (86%)
A multiplayer football game from a developer known for martial arts games, Rematch's love for the game is "infectious" enough that even non-fans might get into it, Justin said in his review.

Dune: Awakening (80%)
Even after 100 hours, the new Dune survival game is still thrilling, Chris said in his review: "...when I see a sandworm breach or I hear another player's 'thopter approaching, Dune: Awakening still makes my heart pound."

Elden Ring: Nightreign (80%)
The co-op Elden Ring spinoff is "just as confusing and abrasive as FromSoftware's other games," but also unique and "kind of brilliant," we said in our review.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered
The long-rumored Oblivion remaster is real, and not only that, it's on Steam now and it's good. They even preserved the absurd NPC behaviors and bugs that have made the Skyrim predecessor such a meme staple.

Blue Prince (92%)
A GOTY contender appears: Blue Prince is "one of the best puzzle games in years," Chris said in his review. If you're unsure whether it's your kind of thing, you might find your answer by asking yourself whether you like taking notes while you play games.

Split Fiction (87%)
Another co-op hit from Hazelight, an unreasonably varied two-player adventure set in sci-fi and fantasy worlds. It's extra attractive because only one player has to own a copy, even for online play.

Monster Hunter Wilds (85%)
The act of hunting has been streamlined a little too much for our tastes, but the actual monster fighting? Chef's kiss. Wilds is great. The performance and crashing, however... no chef's kiss for that. Chef's grimace. Chef's ptooey.

Avowed (82%)
Obsidian's latest feels "humble and a little old-fashioned," we said in our review, but with fun combat and storytelling and a stunning world, it's another "engrossing and gorgeous action RPG" from the developer of Fallout: New Vegas, the Pillars of Eternity games, The Outer Worlds, and Pentiment.

Keep Driving (90%)
A turn-based RPG set in the 2000s that "perfectly captures the freedom and possibilities of being young and having a beat-up old car," Chris said in his review. Hopefully you don't have to call your parents for help.

Path of Exile 2
It may not have the flashy loot drops of Diablo, but the bosses—watch out. The early access release of PoE2 is absolutely worth a spin for ARPG fans, though its first big update hasn't been received well.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (90%)
A systems-driven RPG that Josh called "a bit miraculous" and "ludicrously ambitious and peculiar" in his 90% review. It's running well, too—not one crash for us so far. Check out our KCD2 performance analysis for more on that.

Marvel Rivals (73%)
Any popular competitive shooter is going to inspire lots of gripes—about balance, monetization, matchmaking, and on and on—and Marvel Rivals is no exception, but it's got the fun, and it's great to have a strong new competitor on Overwatch 2's turf.

Eternal Strands (86%)
A great start for Dragon Age veteran Mike Laidlaw's new studio: It's got "an unforgettable combination of intense action, inventive improvisation and an engaging story," we said in our review.

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (89%)
One of our favorites from January 2025, Snow Riders turned our reviewer from a bike guy into a skis guy. "Both blissful and demanding, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is one of the most beautiful skiing games on PC," Shaun wrote.

Caves of Qud (94%)
We don't award scores this high very often. Finally hitting 1.0 after years in early access, Caves of Qud is a new roguelike benchmark.

Helldivers 2 (86%)
A huge Helldivers 2 update dropped at the end of 2024, adding the long-teased Illumiante faction and a new four-person recon vehicle—Super Earth needs us once again!

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (87%)
Not only do we really like Cyberpunk's first and only expansion, we're very pleased with the 2.0 update, which is free for all owners, and improves the whole game with changes to skill progression, AI, and other fundamental aspects of the RPG. Now is definitely the time to play Cyberpunk 2077, if you haven't.

Diablo 4 (85%)
We liked Diablo 4 when it released, even if we weren't in love with the live-servicey aspects, and it improved a lot in the months that followed. More recently, we called it a "phenomenal action RPG."

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (87%)
Another FromSoftware banger. AC6 departs from the Souls formula the studio has become most associated with over the past decade to revive its action series where you're a "a one mech army instead of some nasty little guy," as Wes put it in his review.

Baldur's Gate 3 (97%)
Our highest review score in 16 years went to "an unrivalled RPG that will swallow your life whole." It's true: Few of us at PC Gamer haven't been swept up by Baldur's Gate 3's D&D sandbox. Starfield's good too, but it has struggled to pull us away from our tadpole friends.

Jusant (89%)
"An incredible rock climbing game", as we put it in our review, with "a compelling narrative that gently weaves its way through your journey."
