Being a PC gamer means having access to nearly every game ever released on the platform, stretching back decades. This only makes it harder to choose what to play, which is where the RPS 100 comes in. We have surveyed the full scope of the medium to put together a list of essential PC games for 2024. Note that we have paid no mind to what was important or influential; we only care about games that remain great to play today. The result is 100 games of the finest quality, and it's a testament to the PC's endurance that the oldest included game was released 34 years ago and the newest is just a few months old.
You can explore the below list by clicking on each game to read more, as well as sort if by our ranking or release year, or filter it by genre. Have opinions? We hope you'll share your own favourite games in the comments below.
