On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we’ve gathered thebest PC gamesyou can play right now and a running list of the2024 gamesthat are launching this year.

Feed the Cups

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ February 21Developer:‌ Vambear Games

This Early Access online roguelike about running a drink shop has amassed more than 500 “overwhelmingly positive” reviews this week, so it must be doing something right (perilous logic:Nickelbackhas sold over 50 million albums). With two local players or four online you’ll carry out the usual array of drink shop tasks: dealing with customers, mixing drinks, taking the trash out, optimising supplies and, ideally, never running the business into the ground. Given the popularity of Overcooked! and cosy games, Feed the Cups looks like a nice combo of zeitgeists, and it probably helps that everyone plays as an animal. This Early Access build has 60 percent of the final game, and development will continue for between 8-12 months.

Rail Route

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ February 22Developers:‌ Bitrich.infoHere’s another prickly sim for those of us who can’t get enough of public transport logistics. Rail Route is about building an increasingly complex train network, which means plotting out the routes, also carefully placing signals and junctures, and managing contracts. It’s essentially an automation puzzler in the vein of Factorio, but with a rail focus, and its minimalist presentation means the finer and more taxing details of rail network maintenance can be explored in a lot of detail. Not only that, but you can download fan made maps where players have already created detailed adaptations of real world stations and networks.

Supermarket Simulator

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ February 21Developer:‌ Nokta Games

So many “[Insert job] Simulator” games release on Steam every month, and so many are just weird novelty projects, that I tend not to pay much attention to anything using that naming convention. Supermarket Simulator doesn’t leave a great first impression but its “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating tells another story. You start with an empty shop, install shelves, fridges and displays, order goods, start stocking the furniture with goods, and then sell those goods. All this plays out from a first-person perspective. In addition to the fun of deciding what groceries to put on shelves, you’ll also need to make wise wholesale purchasing decisions, while keeping a close eye on the budget. This is an Early Access affair: it’ll release into 1.0 within a year.
