Fresh Tracks is a fast, furious and frantic rhythm game about hacking and slashing ethereal beings while rocking out to heavy metal music. Look out for actor Peter Stormare, starring in the game, introducing the trailer.
Terminull Brigade's latest trailer shows the action roguelike bouncing between two vastly different aesthetic moods. In one moment, techy anime ninjas are slicing apart robots in an ocean of neon. In the next, comic booky onomatopoeia is flying out of Mad Max road warriors getting blasted with laser fire. It makes for an irresistible hook in a genre where variety is king.
Ratatan blends the roguelike and rhythm genres with a splash of side-scrolling action. Add in a colourful aesthetic and online co-op that supports up to four players.
Moomintroll - World Premiere
Hyper Games is back with another cozy Moomin adventure, and this time Moomintroll is the main character. Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth arrives next year.
Whether you do so alone or alongside some fearless friends, Necesse wants you to build, quest, and conquer across an infinite procedurally generated world.

First unleashed into Early Access last year, The Rogue Prince of Persia re-announced itself with a new breakneck baddie-slashing, boss-battling trailer.

Kaizen is the latest game from the mastermind of Opus Magnum, Zachtronics. Under the new studio banner of Coincidence, Kaizen is another brain-tickler. Due a demo later this month and full release in July.
Dawn Apart is like Satisfactory merged with Red Faction. A space colony and factory sim with fully destructible environments in an alien world under the threat of an uprising. Coming to Steam later this year with a demo out now.
Modulus looks like a must-play factory game for anyone who loves a thousand little parts on a hundred conveyor belts moving in perfect rhythm.
Generation Exile is a turn-based strategy game where you reside upon humanity's first and final generation ship. Naturally, everything's gone to crap, and it's on you to rebuild society. Generation Exile is in the latest Steam Next Fest on June 9.
A sci-fi survival game with a killer premise from the developers of Frostpunk. From the latest trailer it looks like being trapped on an alien planet with a few dozen copies of yourself can get a little intense.
Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults
A fantastical realm filled with giant spiders, mouth-watering magic, dark secrets and valiant squads who all specialise in different aspects of combat—Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults is a veritable checklist of the very best ARPG tenets.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault impressed by showcasing the protagonist's double life—from dodge-rolling through giant bear traps to giving their store a good old sweep. The outcome of that looks like a surprisingly fun mix of cosy gaming and high-pressure Soulslike action. Moonlighter 2 has a Steam Next Fest demo from June 9.
Barotrauma: Home and Harbor - World Premiere
The upcoming expansion for co-op sub sim Barotrauma, Home and Harbor, received its world premiere during the PC Gaming Show 2025. Central to the idea is letting players build their own base deep beneath the sea.
Making a case for the weirdest and/or creepiest horror trailer to feature in the PC Gaming Show throughout its decade-long existence, No, I'm Not a Human is... something. "Only let humans in," reads the game's tagline. "Eliminate all Visitors." Yikes.
Ragdoll robot sports games Botsu showcased its "very silly physics-based competitions" and we can’t argue with that description. Botsu has a free demo available now on Steam.
Chivalry developer Torn Banner Studios brought us a look at what's in the near future for this early access co-op shooter. Besides shambling hordes of the wakened dead, Torn Banner promised a series of summer updates—including a successor to a fan-favorite map.
Farever - World Premiere
Farever is a co-op action adventure game from Shiro Games. In the wake of strategy games like Northgard, WarTales, and Dune: Spice Wars, this latest venture flies closer to the devs' Evoland series, which remixed classic action-adventures like The Legend of Zelda.
Mandrake - World Premiere
Mandrake is Failbetter Games' latest outing and the studio's first break from its esteemed Fallen London universe. A narrative-led farming, crafting and survival effort, Mandrake marks a visual, tonal and thematic leap for the studio.
In Pizza Bandit, you'll balance your ability to shoot aliens, cook pizzas, and survive in a four-player third-person shooter. It might be more accurate to call it a third-person shooter/cooker—imagine something like Killing Floor, except with pizza.
A week in tactical RPG Demonschool includes karaoke, romance, dog adoption, lost sandwiches, cursed dolls, and lots (and lots) of monster battles. Intake starts in summer 2025.
Hard sci-fi survival shooter The Last Caretaker channels some truly uncanny early British TV moods. Imagine the ye olde Americana of Fallout, except from across the pond, with all the chewed VHS stylings and early radiophonic synth work that entails.
Railborn - World Premiere
Railborn is a first-person co-op survival game from Washbear Studio, maker of dino-management sim Parkasaurus. Set on an alien planet 350 light years from Earth, you'll build a train that will act as your mobile base. As per its reveal trailer, you’ll do that in any weather - wishlist Railborn now on Steam.
Sailing isn't the only way to get around in Voyagers of Nera. There's also surfing and spirit-powered wave riding. You can travel beneath the waves too, diving under the surface to explore a world of sunken ruins where you might get eaten by a shark monster with too many eyes. Voyagers of Nera will breach the shores of Early Access on August 5.
ICARUS, the PvE survival game for up to eight players by Day-Z and Stationeers creator Dean Hall, teased its nice slice of DLC named Great Hunts. Expect crafting, blasting, monster bashing and the fact that Great Hunts is now "coming soon".
Garbage Country - World Premiere
At first glance, Garbage Country might seem like it's just about lo-fi beats to take off-road. But it's sneakily a tower defense game against post-apocalyptic trash bots that looks gorgeous. Due in 2025.
Dark Switch - World Premiere
City-builder Dark Switch invites you to embrace your inner wood elf, by constructing a fantasy metropolis around the trunk of an enormous tree. One might even be tempted to call it a Lothlorien simulator, if Tolkien's elvish woodland was threatened by a creeping fog that drives people mad.
Spare us those slow-moving, sluggish, canned action set pieces that are more cutscene than conflict. We're trying to punch a guy hundreds of times in a matter of seconds! Spirit X Strike has the right idea — its free flowing combo system is looking as flashy as it is frantic. It’s squaring up to Steam Early Access on June 20.
Worship is a game about being a ruthless cult leader. The objective is to spread your cult as far and wide as possible, usually with the help of the cult members you've recruited, who will do anything you demand of them—even present themselves for sacrifice. Ultimately, the goal is to destroy the world via the summoning of your cultish deity. Do that when Worship hits Early Access on July 16.
Stars of Icarus - World Premiere
After more than a decade Stars of Icarus picks up where Guns of Icarus left off, swapping steampunk airships for spaceship shenanigans inspired by '90s anime. In doing so, you'll man stations, fly ships, fire turrets and fix up any damage on the fly, all while hurtling through the cosmos and trying not to explode as enemy fleets hunt you down.
007: First Light - Interview
An exclusive look behind the scenes at Hitman developer IO Interactive's slant on agent 007. Filmed in and around IOI's studio in Copenhagen, this feature explores the shape this version of James Bond will take, and how it'll differ from Agent 47's murderous exploits over the last several years.
Absolutely bonkers is how you might describe psychedelic FPS, goblinAmerica. Due in the second half of this year, goblinAmerica is not just a weird FPS, but a Weird FPS. And it looks great for it, strange, abrasive and inspired by the likes of Cruelty Squad.
EverSiege: Untold Ages - World Premiere
Eversiege: Untold Ages is a new spin on the co-op loot-em-up formula from developer Tindalos Interactive. The vibe is epic but not hectic, and the game blends Moba-style combat with management and roguelite mechanics.
PIGFACE is a gritty assassination sandbox FPS that riffs on everything from SWAT to old-school Rainbow Six, Hotline Miami and Manhunt. As you might expect, it's brutal—and its new trailer announced the arrival of a new demo.
TerraTech Legion - World Premiere
TerraTech Legion is a spin-off from sandbox game TerraTech, and brings over that game's modular vehicle creation system to great effect. It’s basically like if you got to drop your own deadly LEGO car into Vampire Survivors.
Not a single word is spoken in the latest Paralives trailer, but it did show off some awesome-looking life sim features: pulling at couches to make them longer, pulling at windows to make them smaller, sitting on arm rests to watch TV, building with curved walls, so much clutter, and even having a good old cry in the bathroom. Paralives is due on December 8.
Despite the wealth of extraction shooters we have at our fingertips today, Lost Rift is one that's putting in the hard yards across more than one genre. It's a survival game-meets-extraction shooter and it's in-line for a shiny new Steam Next Fest demo.
Hell Clock veers far away from your typical action RPG premise and replaces demons and monsters with a story based on a massacre in Brazilian history. It's a Diablo-like roguelike steeped in a bloody history and it's coming to Steam on June 18.
Be quiet or the giant cop will hear you in Militsioner, a bizarre immersive sim where you're under constant surveillance by, well, a really big cop. NPCs can help you break into things without getting caught, but there's also a whole Tamagotchi-like mood system for everyone in the game that you'll have to manage. Sign up for the Steam playtest now.
Arcane Eats - World Premiere
It was only a matter of time before someone spliced together cooking sims and virtual deckbuilding. This is precisely what you'll be doing at the hottest new restaurant in fairyland, Arcane Eats, revealed during the PC Gaming Show 2025.
The trailer above for Guntouchables makes it clear why developer Game Swing went for such a silly but clever title: It's a brash co-op roguelike where your only protection is, well, a lot of guns. Guntouchables is hitting Steam on June 17.
In Ultrakill's latest trailer, New Blood gives us a first look at one of the levels coming in the game's 8th layer, Fraud. The sheer imagination and spectacle of the new FPS map is really impressive, and it's looking like Ultrakill's long stretch in early access will have been well worth the wait.
Inspired by the Tower of Babel myth, Stario: Haven Tower is a city-builder set in the sky. A cataclysmic sandstorm has forced the world's inhabitants to seek shelter in underground cities until they thought up a better solution: why not live above the storm? Due later this year, Stario Haven Tower has a Steam Next Fest demo from tomorrow.
In strategy adventure Dispatch from AdHoc Studio, you manage an office full of former supervillains as they attempt to become heroes, strategically dispatch them to emergencies across the city, and try to balance your relationships with them while planning your own comeback. As announced on the show, Dispatch now has a Steam demo.
The showcase of Nidhogg developer Messhof's open world cycling sim Wheel World demonstrates just how vast and varied the game's landscapes are. There isn't long to wait before you can explore them yourself either, as the game launches this July.
FBC: Firebreak - Interview
The next venture from the Control and Alan Wake series developer Remedy Entertainment is FBC Firebreak, a three-player co-operative shooter set within the iconic Oldest House. In this interview the PC Gamer team speaks to Remedy about Firebreak's place on the Control timeline.
A new trailer for Remedy’s upcoming three-player co-operative shooter, FBC: Firebreak. "I don't care about your day job," says the narrator above. "If you can hold a gun and use a tool, Firebreak needs you." You can answer the call when FBC: Firebreak reports for duty on June 17.
The latest slice of city-building from the esteemed Anno series is Anno 117: Pax Ramana and, as revealed during the show, it has a release date: November 17. Which is when you'll get to once again build, grow, evolve, and, most importantly, fulfil the needs of your citizens at any cost.
The latest game from QWOP and Getting Over It developer Bennett Foddy is Baby Steps, which is essentially the opposite of a power fantasy. You play as Nate, "an unemployed failson with nothing going for him", who's been warped from his couch and into another world where he discovers the magical power of walking. Its Steam demo is out now, and its due date is September 8.
You would've thought the situation in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide—demon-worshipping, mutants running amok while the Inquisition barely stem the tide with wave after wave of cannon fodder—was a bit beyond the intervention of the local police force. But apparently developer Fatshark disagrees, it's adding the Adeptus Arbites to the game as a new class next month—the Imperium's equivalent of the cops.
Rejoice! Endless Legend 2, Amplitude's sci-fi-fantasy 4X, is hitting early access on August 7, 2025. The initial Endless Legend 2 early access build will include four factions, both old and new faces, which you'll be able to use to conquer the new world of Saiadha.
Berserk or Die - World Premiere
Poncle, the developers behind Vampire Survivors, are pushing into publishing this year, backing Berserk or Die as they go. Berserk or Die is an absurd, manic, and absurdly manic retro-style slice of chaos where your goal is to absolutely wild out on the battlefield, slaughtering as many foes as you can before you succumb to the enemy's legions.
Described by PC Gamer as "co-op FPS goodness in its best form: fast, funny, fungal, a little stupid, and not a roguelike". Which, we’re sure you’ll agree, is a pretty interesting sell. If you agree, Mycopunk has a demo that you can play right now, and is due for release on July 10, 2025.
Blippo+ may well be the weirdest game in any genre ever to feature in the PC Gaming Show. Blippo+ is an uncanny, Hypnospace Outlaw-style game where you must flick through an alien off-cable TV network full of 'cloned opera stars and spooky raconteurs'. Make of that what you will. It’s gunning for Steam later this year.
Morbid Metal, a game developed by Screen Juice and published by Ubisoft, is brave enough to ask the question: Okay, but what if we made a roguelike where you could play every character at once? A bold undertaking, and one which you can sample via its Steam Next Fest demo. Look out for Morbid Metal in early access on August 21.
It can be difficult making pixel art look scary because, simply, a few blocks on a screen can only do so much. Ysbryd Games' upcoming psychological horror platformer Love Eternal, however, manages to nail 2D terror in its trailer, mostly thanks to some really unsettling images. Love Eternal has a new release window of October 2025.
Bus Bound - World Premiere
Bus driving sim Bus Bound is all about keeping people happy by managing a timely and eco-friendly public service, with heaps of customisation options. "Get out there, ride the bus and let your voices be heard," says the narrator above. Good luck pleasing the city council!
Atmosfar is a self-described "sky-high survival odyssey" that has now announced an early access release window of sometime-in-2026. Tapping into placid, sunlit road trip vibes is a nice sell, underlined by 1-4 player co-op, base building, spare part scavenging and many more survival genre staples.
The latest Void/Breaker trailer hits you in stages. First, it's a fun sci-fi FPS with some slick movement. Then you're absorbed by its gun crafting. And then you're wowed by its destructible environments. Out later this year, Void/Breaker has a Steam demo you can play right now.
Grave Seasons - World Premiere
Grave Seasons is a farming sim with all the trappings, not least fishing, mining, and growing crops. You'll also get to sell your crops in town to earn yourself some money and "invest in the local economy"... and then you'll start investigating the mysterious murders cropping up throughout the supposedly cozy town.
Eyes of Hellfire - World Premiere
Eyes of Hellfire is Blumhouse's new multiplayer horror game where you'll solve a curse and either 'escape the lodge with your friends, betray them, or die'. That's quite the predicament, which will involve exploring the cursed setting with up to four pals, solving puzzles, and dodging ghosts... and your untrustworthy friends.
“Think fast, hack faster,” is DeadWire’s hook. And when that’s wrapped in a top-down action game ribbon, with flavours of everything from Hotline Miami to Gunpoint and old school GTA, that’s quite the billing. It has now also set its sights on a September 2025 launch.
On the grand spectrum of Stardewlikes to Crossinglikes, Dinkum falls right in the middle. You'll decorate your house and town to your liking, fish and catch bugs, and invite nine different characters to join your island. You'll also be raising crops and livestock, from cactus to wombats, and Dinkum doesn't tie you to the real world clock in the same way Animal Crossing does. Dinkum goes on sale June 12.
"May the Lord protect me from the evil within," so says the worried voice in Void Martyrs' 20-second montage shown during the PC Gaming Show 2025. As a grimdark, top-down action game where you're pitted against enemies infected by a biomechanical plague, that feels pretty fitting.
It's loud, it's retro, it's the so-called "demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette that locks you in a rusty cell with a slot machine and an ATM". Even in its short 20-second showing as part of the PC Gaming Show 2025's montage, CloverPit is a sight to behold. It's due in the summer of this year.
Burning cities, a blazing human effigy, an active abattoir, a beating heart and a consistently terrifying vibe—Eclipsium crammed a lot into its 20-second montage slot. You can wishlist it right now on Steam.
In Abyssus your craft and shoot and slash and blast your way through the corrupted denizens of an ancient, sunken civilization. You'll wield godly powers inside a fast-paced cooperative FPS and roguelite "brinepunk" adventure. And if any of that floats (or sinks) your boat, know that Abyssus is coming August 12 and has a shiny new demo in Steam Next Fest from June 9.
PlayFusion's newest trailer for Ascendant gave us a quick look at what we can expect from the chaotic multiplayer shooter—with tanks, weapons, and some funky hairdos all making an appearance. No release date as yet, but Ascendant is due to lock and load (and unload several times after that) later this year.
"An endless Cat Breeding RPG from the creator of The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy!" so reads the Mewgenics Steam page. The latest trailer aired at the PC Gaming Show 2025 is... well, click through the link above, have a gander, and decide for yourself. After that, note Mewgenics’ release date: February 10, 2026.
Wales Interactive and Dark Rift Horror's Dead Reset is a sci‑fi horror FMV adventure where death is not the end, but the key to survival. Expect gripping, choice-driven narrative and an innovative death-loop mechanic that must be seen and experienced to be believed. Dead Reset is due later this year.
Bernband - World Premiere
Otherwise known for its themes of dystopia, Bernband has a different view of the cyberpunk genre. The latest outing for the Sokpop Collective swaps black markets, nefarious activity and omnipresent dread for funny aliens, thoughtful world-building and a gorgeous low-fi sci-fi setting that begs to be explored from pillar to post.
Wanderburg is Howl's Moving Castle if it were a roguelike where you duke it out as a castle on wheels. You're not just a castle on wheels, though, you also have a gaping maw that will eat anything and everything in front of you. Which plays into Wanderburg's roguelike, Agar.io inspirations in which your gluttony rewards you with gold to upgrade your castle with cannons, crossbows, wizard towers, flamethrowers, massive spider legs and more.
Main show ends
Games featured in the PC Gaming Show pre show:
Featured in the PC Gaming Show 2025 pre-show, Trash Goblin's latest airing gave us a new story trailer, now that the clean 'em up sim has broken free of early access. With that, Trash Goblin now has a full story campaign, the ability to travel between city districts to sell trinkets in new locations, and a "Fetching Fungi" system that offers "an alternative way of acquiring already discovered trinkets".
When the cat's away, the mice will play. But did you know that when the cats are heading up a colonial empire, the mice will build sprawling island colonies with complex production chains? Well, that's assuming upcoming city builder Whiskerwood is based on true rodent facts. Why wouldn't it be? Who would use a videogame to lie?
The latest footage of camper van sim Outbound includes a montage of cozy routines, like foraging for berries and mushrooms, piecing together portable living spaces, and exploring the game's stunning, colourful open world for the perfect spot. Outbound is without a solid release date, but is aiming for the first half of 2026.
Capy Castaway is a whimsical exploration adventure inspired by memories of childhood about a capybara and a crow trying to find their way home. And we can all totally relate, right? Still without a concrete launch date, but Capy Castaway is gunning for release at some point in 2026.
