2021 HAS BEEN A MIXED YEAR for PC gaming, with standout hits such as Deathloop and Resident Evil Village almost drowned out by a sea of mediocre titles and endless delays and cancellations. Happily, 2022 looks like being a more exciting year, with a whole host of original games and sequels on the way. Many of these upcoming releases have been in the works for a long time, including Starfield (the concept work for which began way back in 1997) and Elden Ring, the latter of which has been on many a gamer’s mind for years. Yes, we know George RR Martin is involved. Hopefully, the game comes out before The Winds of Winter.
Some of these games don’t have official release dates yet, so we’ve limited our list to titles that are confirmed releases in 2022—delays notwithstanding! We’ve included a broad range of games from different genres and publishers but, of course, you can expect the usual suspects to crop up in 2022; we’d be shocked if there wasn’t a Call of Duty or FIFA release. So, here are the 22 games we’re most excited to play on PC in 2022.
