The PC game releases we're most excited about in February

The big month is here. For whatever reason, the games biz decided that February is a great time for gorging on new games, and absolutely stuffed it with big releases. It'd be even more packed had Assassin's Creed Shadows not been delayed to March, but even then it'll be an unusually consequential month for PC gaming. Not quite November 2004 levels of historic (that month included Half-Life 2 and WoW among others), but it's a high bar.

Keep scrolling for an overview of what's out on PC in February 2025, and for a more zoomed-out view of what's coming out on PC this year, check out our full list of 2025's new PC games.

February's big PC release dates

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 | February 4
A highly anticipated medieval RPG that we recently called "a mad, systems-driven sandbox that captures some of the best parts of games like Stalker."

Civilization 7 | February 11
After nearly 10 years of Civ 6 updates and DLC, the decades-old series is getting another notch. Civ 7 makes some surprising changes to the historical grand strategy series.

Avowed | February 18
Obsidian has downplayed comparisons to Skyrim, but we'll probably make a few anyway. Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that we've called "thoroughly old-fashioned"—but, to resurrect an old games journo cliche, that's a good thing (at least from our impressions so far).

Monster Hunter Wilds | February 27
Who'd have thought, not all that long ago, that I'd be saying that the biggest PC release of any month is a new Monster Hunter game? The first time I remember hearing about the series, it was a handheld sensation in Japan. Now it feels like a PC mainstay. Capcom's latest is looking good, at last check, and there'll be another beta before launch.
