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

(Image credit: Capcom)

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.
