Here are the nominees for PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted
In less than a month, we'll air the next edition of the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted.
If you missed it last year, this end-of-year edition of the PC Gaming Show has a slightly different format: it presents a countdown of the 25 Most Wanted games as selected by a special panel of voters called The Council. This special group includes high-profile game developers like Brenda Romero, John Romero, David Gaider, Tanya X.

Likewise, the entire PC Gamer team adds its votes to the pile.

As we prepare to turn the calendar into 2025, we hope this broadcast helps you filter through the constant avalanche of games coming to PC and pick out what's truly wishlist worthy.
To watch the countdown as it airs, tune into the broadcast on the PC Gamer Twitch channel, YouTube, Twitch Gaming, Steam, or Bilibili at 12 pm PST / 8 pm GMT on December 5.

We take into consideration everything from that game's profile, premise, initial reception, the number of wishlists it's garnered, and its creative direction, among other factors. It's important to us that the Most Wanted list is not simply a popularity contest, however—we make a point of putting a wide range of projects that haven't been widely noticed in front of our voting panel, to make sure a spectrum of games that represent the breadth, weirdness, and experimental nature of PC gaming are represented.
Games releasing before January 1, 2025 or that are already released in Early Access are
