Upcoming PC Games to Add to Your Wishlist in 2026 and 2027

Your Steam wishlist is about to get a lot longer, and your storage drive may complain. Right now, the list of upcoming PC games for late 2026 and 2027 looks packed with big names. That said, release dates move often, so it helps to know which titles have firm plans. So here you will find dates, developers, and a short reason to wishlist each pick. Beyond that, you will get simple tips to keep your PC ready.

Release Calendar for Upcoming PC Games at a Glance

Here is a quick table of upcoming PC games worth tracking, so you can scan the dates first. Most of them also appear on consoles, so your friends may join you. Dates were checked in late October 2026, and studios can still shift a launch. Because of this, treat every date as the current plan, not a promise. Genre labels in the table are simple summaries, so they may differ from store tags.

Game	Release Date	Developer	Genre
Path of Exile 2 (version 1.0)	December 11, 2026	Grinding Gear Games	Action RPG
Stranger Than Heaven	January 15, 2027	RGG Studio	Action adventure
Metro 2039	February 4, 2027	4A Games	First-person shooter
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis	February 12, 2027	Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog	Action adventure
Persona 4 Revival	February 18, 2027	Atlus	RPG
Fable	February 23, 2027	Playground Games	RPG
Exodus	April 7, 2027	Archetype Games	RPG
Final Fantasy VII Revelation	April 8, 2027	Square Enix	Action RPG

February 2027 stands out as the busiest month on this list, since four big games land within three weeks. As a result, your wallet and your free time will both need a plan. Of course, January is not empty, because Stranger Than Heaven arrives on January 15, 2027. Meanwhile, December gives you one major early start with Path of Exile 2.

Path of Exile 2 Version 1.0

Path of Exile 2 reaches version 1.0 on December 11, 2026, so the wait is short. Grinding Gear Games made it, and the game has been in early access, which means players can buy and play before it is finished. Because version 1.0 marks the finished release, December is a sensible time for newcomers to jump in.

The game is an action RPG. That means it is a role-playing game, where your character grows through levels and gear, with fast combat on top. While you fight hordes of monsters and collect loot, you also shape a build around your favorite skills. Even so, the price and extra platforms for version 1.0 are Not officially announced in the sources I checked. So confirm them closer to launch.

Stranger Than Heaven and Persona 4 Revival

Stranger Than Heaven comes from RGG Studio and arrives on January 15, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The studio is best known for the Yakuza and Like a Dragon games, so fans of those stories will notice it. However, plot details are Not officially announced in the sources I checked, which keeps some mystery alive.

Persona 4 Revival follows on February 18, 2027, from Atlus, with PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S listed. Because Persona games blend school life with dungeon crawling, it runs at a different pace from Metro or Tomb Raider. Meanwhile, the series has a loyal fanbase, so interest should stay high through the winter.

Metro 2039

Metro 2039 launches on February 4, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. 4A Games is the developer, since it made the earlier Metro shooters. The series is known for tight tunnels, scarce ammo, and tense stealth, so the mood stays nervous. In a survival shooter, supplies stay low, which means every bullet counts.

Fans of slow and nervous exploration should give this one a spot on the list, because it suits careful players. Since it arrives first in February, it also gets the spotlight before the rest of the rush. Still, wait for official system requirements before you decide on an upgrade. Those details were not available in the sources I checked, so patience pays off here.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis arrives on February 12, 2027. Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog are listed as the developers, and the game targets PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. As a result, it reaches almost every major platform under one release date.

The series follows adventurer Lara Croft through ruins, traps, and puzzles, so exploration sits at its heart. However, story details beyond the title are Not officially announced in the sources I checked. Even so, fans of clever level design have plenty to watch. Besides, a mid-February date makes it easy to plan around.

Fable

Fable is set for February 23, 2027, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Playground Games, the studio known for the Forza Horizon racing series, is the developer. In fact, a PS5 version for a series tied to Xbox is a pleasant surprise, which means more players can join at once.

Fable is a fantasy RPG, so expect choices, quests, and a world full of odd characters. Because the game lands only 11 days after Tomb Raider, you will need to choose. So decide which title gets your first free weekend, and keep the other for later. After all, a calm backlog beats a rushed one.

Exodus

Exodus arrives on April 7, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and Archetype Games is the developer. Wizards of the Coast is listed as the publisher. The game blends action, adventure, and RPG ideas in a science fiction setting. As a result, it suits players who want a big story with room for choices.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation follows one day later, on April 8, 2027, from Square Enix. It is listed for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. Therefore, that week works well for clearing your backlog, meaning the games you own but have not finished. Plan early, since two big launches can crowd your calendar.

How to Wishlist and Prepare Your PC

Wishlisting is free, so start early. On Steam, open the store page and press the wishlist button, when the game has a Steam page. Once a game launches or goes on sale, Steam can send you a notice. Beyond that, your list gives you a clear view of what you truly want to buy.

Storage deserves attention too, because modern releases can be huge. While many official specs now ask for an SSD, which is a fast storage drive, older hard drives may struggle. For instance, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 system requirements call for 115 GB of free SSD space. Since prices for several titles here are Not officially announced, check each store page before you buy.

Spending also needs a plan, since many big launches fall between December and April. So pick two favorites for day one, and wait for reviews on the rest. Finally, check official requirements a few weeks before each launch, because details often arrive late. Not everyone games at a desk, of course. If you prefer a sofa, the upcoming console exclusives many players are waiting for may suit you better. Meanwhile, smaller studios can surprise you at low prices, so watch these upcoming indie games as well.
