Video game genres ebb and flow in terms of popularity, but the first-person shooter (FPS) has remained one of the biggest for generations. While there are plenty of amazing FPS games on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with most even being cross-platform games, the PC is still the ideal platform for shooters. You’re free to use a standard controller on PC, but mastering the mouse and keyboard controls allows you to play at a much higher level.
Of course, not every FPS game is a multiplayer game, and developers have pushed the genre to its creative limits on PC. Steam alone is overflowing with options, with more upcoming video games releasing every day.

Valorant builds on the solid foundation Counter-Strike established decades ago but incorporates some hero-shooter elements to add even more tactical options. You’re still never one bad peak away from death, and you only have one life per round, but special abilities mean you have more to think about than just positioning and aiming. This is a hardcore game but has still amassed a huge community of players to compete with and is still being supported with new heroes, maps, and modes.
