The big end-of-year game for a lot of PC gamers is Cyberpunk 2077, which CD Projekt plans to release on December 10—and this time they mean it. The giant open world RPG has been so highly anticipated for so long, several developers delayed their games into 2021 just to avoid releasing at the same time as it.
That doesn't mean December is a total wasteland, though—Ubisoft, for one, wasn't scared of Cyberpunk—and as a side effect January gets to enjoy a few bigger releases, such as the new horror game from Bloober Team, The Medium. IO Interactive's next slapstick contract killing game, Hitman 3, is also releasing in the first month of 2021.
For your free time planning purposes, here are all the big PC games releasing this December and January, as well as a few coming later in 2021:
