2020 is going to be a good year for gaming, especially on PC. Plenty long-awaited titles are finally seeing freedom next year and gamers are more than ready to get their hands on them. Some of these titles have been teased for years, some were basically guaranteed sequels and some are updates or ports of existing titles.

One of the most annoying trends currently for PC gaming is when multi-platform games have a delayed release on PC. Some of these titles have already come out on consoles but not yet on PC. They’re each good enough to earn a spot on this list.

10 The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (2020)

The Stanley Parable is great. Originally a Half-Life mod, this indie darling saw a full release in late 2013. The game’s clever look at games and their design, along with its witty and often scathing narrator, rocketed it to success. It didn’t hurt that the game was plain hilarious too.

Ultra Deluxe will see console releases but all versions will have expanded content including new endings and content interwoven with the game’s original content. Currently, the game is planned to be accessed separately from The Stanley Parable, although it’s not confirmed.

9 Phantasy Star Online 2 (Spring 2020)

In a move that’s frustrated Phantasy Star fans everywhere, SEGA’s MMORPG hasn’t seen a Western release yet. That’s finally changing in early 2020 as Phantasy Star Online 2 escapes Japan and comes to the United States and Canada. Sorry Europe, you’ve been left out again.

In Phantasy Star Online, players hang out in hub worlds before embarking on missions with up to 12 players, more like Destiny and the original Guild Wars than World of Warcraft. The game will be almost eight years old by the time of its localization but promises to come with all currently existing content. It will also feature cross-play between the PC and its Xbox One release.

8 Spelunky 2 (TBA)

Spelunky was a big hit, attracting players with its roguelite structure, and quick and addictive gameplay. Spelunky saw players navigating through procedurally generated levels to collect loot, defeat enemies and rescue damsels in distress

Its sequel will expand on those core concepts that made Spelunky so successful, sating the itch that its spelunkers have had since the game was announced in 2017. It’ll have even more secrets this time too.

7 Death Stranding (Summer 2020)

Console gamers have been lucky enough to receive almost every Hideo Kojima game so far. Metal Gear Solid V gave PC gamers their first dose of distilled Kojima. His games are unique and often divisive. With such a distinct and powerful style, it’s difficult to not attract strong reactions, whether its love or hate.

With the release of Death Stranding on PS4, Kojima added another divisive title to his works. Gameplay primarily involves walking, lots and lots of walking – but that’s selling it short. Come early summer 2020, PC gamers will now be able to join Norman Reedus and his BB as they journey to reconnect America.

6 DOOM Eternal (March 20, 2020)

2016’s DOOM was good. Everything a DOOM fan could ask for. There were endless demon hordes to slay and the Doom Slayer was back, ready to rip and tear. DOOM (2016) hooked gamers with its highly mobile gameplay, breadth of weapons and focus on fluidity in combat. Everything in this game encourages the player to kill something, even if they’re about to die themselves.

DOOM Eternal is going to be more of the same and no one’s going to complain about that. Some weapons are seeing added features, like a grappling hook attached to the shotgun that can be used for combat and movement. Gamers have had to wait four years for another DOOM but one is finally on the horizon.

5 The Master Chief Collection (2020)

This one is kinda cheating, as it’s more than one game but if it was split up, two titles would take spots on this list: Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo: Reach was recently released on PC as the first ported title of the Master Chief Collection (MCC) and it’s been a huge hit, topping Steam player charts. Halo is back, even if it plays a little different on PC than it does on console.

While Halo 2 saw a Vista release, it wasn’t without its problems, and PC never saw a port of Halo 3. With the rest of the MCC, the PC will have access to two of the most beloved multiplayer games of all time. They’ll also be able to finally, after all these years, finish the fight.

4 Cyberpunk 2077 (April 16, 2020)

CD Projekt Red is one of PC gaming’s golden children, their status earned through the success of The Witcher series, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. After being shrouded in secrecy for so long, Cyberpunk 2077 is slated for release on April 16, 2020.

It takes place in a dystopia called Night City, an open world with six different regions. Players will explore the world through a first-person perspective while developing their character through perk trees and more. Oh, and it stars Keanu Reeves in it too.

3 Hollow Knight: Silksong (TBA)

The original Hollow Knight released in 2017 and combined echoes of Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and the Metroid series to craft the perfect Metroidvania title. The amount of content and polish in this $15 title is staggering for a team of three people.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will follow one of the previous game’s frenemies, Hornet. Hornet’s adventure to the top of the kingdom of Pharloom will have more emphasis on platforming and acrobatic combat than the previous game, separating her from The Knight. After the glowing success of their first title, this one is almost sure to be another excellent title.

2 Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (January 26)

While the trend of PC games receiving games and updates long after their console releases is frustrating, it’s still great to get them. Eventually. Monster Hunter World was the series’ first PC release and despite some issues, it was still great fun. The Monster Hunter formula is basically a grind: fight monsters, get loot, turn loot into gear, fight bigger monsters.

That doesn’t quite capture it though. Fighting these monsters are true hunts, requiring preparation and coordination between your party if you’re hunting with others. You can pull off some truly inventive strategies. MHW released with relatively few monsters compared to other titles but the Iceborne expansion fixes that. Series staples like the Tigrex and Zinogre are finally here, waiting to hunt the hunters.

1 Half-Life Alyx (March 2020)

Well. It’s no Half-Life 3 but since Valve avoids counting that high, this might be the closest we get. It’s Valve’s flagship VR game, supporting all PC-compatible VR headsets. Taking place before the events of Half-Life 2, players will control Alyx Vance as she fights the Combine occupation. The Gravity Gun will return in the form of the Gravity Gloves, allowing the player to manipulate objects in the environment.

The last Half-Life title came out in 2007 as a part of The Orange Box. Half-Life 3 is enough of a meme on the Internet that countless eyes will be on this game. As a Valve title, it’s almost sure to be fun and excellent. But as a VR title, this might be the first AAA release to truly demonstrate what VR is capable of.
