The February PC game releases and events you should know about
Here's what we'll be playing in as 2023 kicks off for real.
After a slightly frigid start to the early 2023 release schedule, things are starting to thaw in February. There are several undeniably large launches headed our way like Hogwarts Legacy and Company of Heroes 3, plus everyone will finally be able to get their hands on Kerbal Space Program 2's early access and Atomic Heart's retro-future FPS. It'll be Like a Dragon: Ishin for me though, because I've nearly achieved the feat of making the Yakuza series my entire personality and don't plan to stop now that there's a big spinoff remake dropping in my lap.
Other members of the PC Gamer team are looking forward to the likes of the game whose name is either a threat or a promise (PERISH), the action roguelike Returnal, super cute black and white adventure Blanc, and survival sim The Pale Beyond. Oh, and it's worth keeping an eye on Wild Hearts, which looks like Koei Tecmo's take on Monster Hunter.
Don't miss the events going on in February either. The Taipei Game Show kicks off early this month which will certainly deliver a bit of news, while the next Steam Next Fest will likely put more demos than any of us know what to do with in our libraries once again. Here's what's going on in PC gaming in February:
