2024 games: All the PC games scheduled for launch this year
We’re well on our way through the first chunk of new games in 2024, and hey, is it just me, or are there already too many games to keep up with?
After an inarguably huge year for games, it’s possible that the 2024 schedule will wind up feeling a little quieter—but the first couple months have already been stacked with celebrated releases. January saw the all-encompassing arrival of Palworld, while February brought a pile of surprise hits like Helldivers 2, Balatro, and Pacific Drive
We’re in store for some anticipated sequels like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Homeworld 3, and World of Goo 2. There are still-to-come indies definitely worth watching as well, such as little builder Tiny Glade, witchy adventure Reka, and magical-girl inspired life sim Field of Mistria. And Hollow Knight: Silksong has to make it out in 2024. Right?
Keep up with the launch calendar for the year here as new release dates land, inevitable delays crop up, and new announcements hit the books.
