Anticipated PC Game Launches for 2025 and Future Years

PC gamers are increasingly enjoying the arrival of console-exclusive titles on Steam and other platforms. This development is fantastic for those who have felt left out without a console, as the boundaries between console and PC gaming are clearly diminishing, particularly with Microsoft’s initiative to expand its extensive game library across both platforms. The introduction of PC Game Pass has made the situation even more appealing, allowing many franchises that seemed to be exclusive to consoles to finally have PC versions, albeit often with a delay of a year or more.

As the year progresses into 2025 and beyond, PC gamers have an exciting array of anticipated titles lined up, which include notable ports, impressive indie games, and major AAA releases that promise to shine on high-performance setups. Here’s an overview of the games set to launch on PC by the year’s end, as well as those without confirmed release dates.

Which upcoming 2025 PC games will stand out? What might 2026 and onwards hold?

Updated September 20, 2025: Additional PC titles added to the schedule include: Rise Eterna 2, Dispatch, The Jackbox Party Pack 11, Wreckreation, RoboCop: Rogue City Collection, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition, GigaSword, Destiny 2: Renegades, Mutant Football League 2, Little Rocket Lab, Witchy Business, Ship of Heroes, Renown, Aethermancer, Aztecs: The Last Sun, Deconstruction Simulator, Pompeii: The Legacy, Global Magnates: Shipping Tycoon, Blippo+, Forgotten Fragments.

Note that the forthcoming calendar primarily emphasizes North American release dates, and it contains only major games, as a complete list of every upcoming PC title would be impractical.

PC Games Releasing In September 2025

Silksong, Borderlands 4, Hell Is Us, & More

September 2025 will see several significant game launches, among which is anticipated to be a standout indie title: Hollow Knight: Silksong. The much-anticipated sequel from Team Cherry is expected to be a hit, especially for Metroidvania enthusiasts. Hell is Us stands out as well, providing players with a horror-inspired gameplay experience and impressive creature designs.

Despite its somewhat rocky marketing, Borderlands 4 is creating quite a buzz. The PC version has received some criticism regarding its optimization, so players are encouraged to consult reviews prior to purchasing. Nevertheless, the game’s content appears to be engaging. The renowned series Silent Hill will also launch its new installment, likely becoming one of the most talked-about games this year. Additionally, Dying Light: The Beast aims to appeal to fans with a darker horror narrative than its predecessor.
