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.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ June 1Developers:‌ Altered Orbit StudiosSelaco is a boomer shooter like many others, though it has the distinction of running on GZDoom—a heavily modified version of the engine that powered the 1993 id Software classic. Considering how amazingly well that older game has held up, it’s a smart move, though the actual moment-to-moment feel of Selaco is closer to F.E.A.R. than OG Doom. It’s a set piece laden experience with destructible environments, smarter-than-average AI, and some RPG elements. It’s also an Early Access affair: there are currently 30 maps, with more to come between now and late 2026.

Soulmask

Launched into Early Access last week, Soulmask is a unique take on the sandbox survival format (akathe tree puncher). With a focus on gruelling authenticity, you play as an entity blessed (or perhaps cursed) with a mysterious mask, which confers various “chosen one” abilities and traits to your playable character. As your star rises and your tribe becomes more populous, you’ll be able to inherit the unique skills of your subjects, and you can evenbecomeyour tribespeople if you want. Combat looks fast and fluid, which is a rarity in this genre, and the open world looks sprawling and varied. Soulmask will stay in Early Access for at least a year.

Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ May 30Developer:‌ Pentacle

As a train lover I’ve always wanted to ride the Trans-Siberian Railway. Now I can do so from the confines of my gamer dungeon, thanks to Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator. It’s a first-person affair, though—as far as I can tell based on the trailer and the screenshots—perhaps not an altogether serious one. Sure, the central objective is to commandeer a train along the famous route, but it’s far from a reliable train, and there are bears, beer and, for some reason, the ability to shoot your train engine until it explodes (the gun may be put to better use against the mafia, which also features in the game). If you love bonkers “simulators” I reckon this is worth a look.
