While the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X might dominate the gaming news spotlight, PC continues to be one of the best gaming platforms out there. Last year saw a variety of high-profile releases, but 2023 year looks to be even better.
If you’re searching for your next big PC game (or want to see what’s on the horizon before investing in a new rig), here are the best upcoming PC games set to arrive in 2023 and beyond.
2023 releases
Queue up My Time is Now because John Cena himself is gracing the cover of WWE 2K23. The franchise has been a bit rocky overall, but we enjoyed WWE 2K22 and hope things keep moving in the right direction. Expect all of your favorite WWE wrestlers present and past to be included in this game full of all your favorite game modes and ringside antics.
The Last of Us Part I doesn’t need much of an introduction anymore, but the remastered version of this gritty action game from Naughty Dog is finally hitting PC. Enjoy a total overhaul of the original experience, faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay, improved controls, and expanded accessibility options.
The newest game from Arkane Austin is a brand new and very exciting concept. Set in an open world called Redfall, this will be a co-op-focused shooter where players are let loose on an island infested with vampires. The sun has been blocked out, making you, a human, constantly in danger in a sort of <em>30 Days of Night-</em>style scenario. Using a suite of guns, magic, and anti-vampire tech, you and your squad need to survive against the bloodthirsty hunters.
Skull and Bones has been delayed for a sixth (and hopefully final) time, and has now been given the vague release date of “early 2023 to 2024.” The final version of Skull and Bones is a mix of Ubisoft’s open-world titles, survival games, and a more detailed version of the Assassin’s Creed series’ naval combat. Are players still interested after the title has seen so many delays? And will it stack up against the success of Sea of Thieves? Only time will tell./dt_media]
Set in a post-apocalyptic, open-world environment, Stalker 2 invites you to discover a mystery hidden deep in the Heart of Chornobyl. A unique amalgam of FPS, immersive sim, and horror, the non-linear story is hoping to give you unprecedented freedom in how the action unfolds. It’s all driven by Unreal Engine 5, and ultra-realistic graphics will push your GPU to its limits. And if the tense single-player action isn’t enough, you’ll be glad to know that multiplayer will be available sometime after launch as part of a free update. Originally set to release in Spring 2022, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been pushed back to sometime in 2023 due to the ongoing Ukrainian-Russian conflict which has affected the city of developer GSC Game World.

It will likely be a while before we see GTA 6 — the only thing we really know about the next Grand Theft Auto entry is that it’s in development and will definitely come to PC.
