The best PC games right now

On this list you'll find the best PC games we're playing right now—recent singleplayer hits, thriving esports, and a few modern classics that would improve any game library. We'll continue to update this list as new games release, removing older favorites and replacing them with our latest obsessions. Rather than an ever-expanding list that reaches deep into the past, we're shooting for a practical answer to the question: 'What new PC game should I get?'
If you're looking for a more comprehensive list which includes our favorite games from the past few decades, check out our yearly Top 100 list  or our list of the most important PC games. Need a new system to play these games on? Here's our advice on what kind of gaming PC you should get.

What to play right now

Apex Legends is the best new battle royale game by far, an all around improvement on what's come before. First things first: It's free-to-play, and microtransactions are cosmetic-only. Beyond that, its non-verbal communication systems are next level—you can actually cooperate with strangers who aren't using mics—and it brings character abilities into BR largely successfully. If you play PUBG or Fortnite, or couldn't get into those games but like the idea of team-based battle royale, definitely give Apex a try—you can grab it from Origin.
Meanwhile, horror fans have some good news: the Resident Evil 2 remake is excellent. In his Resident Evil 2 review, Andy calls it "a tense, challenging, and beautiful remake of a classic survival horror game, and with enough fresh ideas to make it feel excitingly new."
If you're looking to kill a rainy Sunday afternoon with a 'one more turn' obsession rather than zombies, Slay the Spire, which recently came out of Early Access, is your game. Evan explains why in his 92% review.
In the same vein, our 2018 Game of the Year, Into the Breach, is a run-based strategy game that appears simple—enemies telegraph every move they're about to make—but is a series of tactical risk-vs-reward puzzles that are deeply satisfying to solve.
Meanwhile, throwback FPS Dusk is amazing fun, and Hitman 2 has kept the PC Gamer team obsessed with the series—though clever stealth is more the game there, whereas Dusk is pure speed and strafing. If you want to slow things down for a more meditative singleplayer experience, Return of the Obra Dinn was our pick for Best Puzzle Game of 2018.

Competitive online games

Apex Legends
Released: 2019 | Developer: Respawn |  Origin | Our review
Apex Legends is the best battle royale game available now. The map is fantastic, the 'ping' communication system is something every FPS should have from here on, the guns and movement are great fun (no wallrunning, but sliding down hills feels great), and it's free-to-play with nothing to pay for except cosmetics. It isn't the game we expected from Respawn, but we're glad it's here. Check James' reviewfor more.

Rainbow Six Siege
Released: 2015 | Developer: Ubisoft Montreal | Humble Store, Steam | Our review
Counter-Strike's sexier cousin. Siege might lack the sharp hit detection and purity of CS:GO, but it's a more accessible and modern FPS that rewards clever timing and coordinated teamwork as much as aim. Siege's learning curve is a result of all the stuff (characters, gadgets, elaborate maps, and guns) that's been added since December 2015, but eventually you find yourself picking operators, map spots, and roles that you're comfortable with. Ubisoft continues to support Siege, dropping four major updates per year along with regular fixes
