![<h2>The Best Modern PC Games</h2>
<h3>(August 2020 Update)</h3>
<p>With 2020 more than halfway over, and plenty of great PC releases over the past couple of years, we thought it was high time to revisit our picks for the best PC games you can play right now.</p>
<p>To be clear, this list does not attempt to pick out the “best” or “most influential” PC games of all time, since comparing the gameplay of the original DOOM to its 2016 reboot isn’t exactly fair. Nor is it a list of the most popular games out there, or the top games in every genre. No, this is a list of games from the last decade that we at IGN – after plenty of internal debate – collectively recommend the most, based on our own tastes. Think of it as our staff’s personal recommendations to you for games we think you should play if you haven’t. To that end, these are our picks for the best modern PC games.</p>
<p>Let us know <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/best-pc-games#comments-section">in the comments</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/IGN">on Twitter</a> what made your list that didn’t make ours!” src=”https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2020/08/20/topmodernpcgames-slideshow-1597948371613.jpg?width=888&crop=16%3A9&quality=20&dpr=0.05″ class=”jsx-2920405963 progressive-image image jsx-294430442 rounded expand loading”></div>

<p>“We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of <a href=]()
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” a recent Tweet on The Witcher’s account reads. “We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice. We’ll update you as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding.”
The upcoming free upgrade is intended to “visually and technically” enhance the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X versions of the game, which was originally released in 2015.
The upgrade was originally planned for a late 2021 release but faced initial delays based on “recommendations supplied by persons supervising development,” according to a 2021 Tweet.
This isn’t the first delayed project from CD Projekt Red, either — Cyberpunk 2077 was also repeatedly delayed before its release.
While this next-gen version is currently facing delays, CD Projekt Red is continuing to expand on The Witcher. Last month, the company announced that a new Witcher game is also in development. Previously, IGN awarded The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt our Game of the Year award in 2015.
