Best PC Game Releases of October 2025 - Must-Play Titles You Cant Miss

You play as Low and Alone, two kids trying to escape the nightmare together. What sets this apart is the full co-op experience. Either you and a friend team up online, or you go solo with AI support. Low uses a bow for ranged actions and puzzle solutions, while Alone swings a wrench for breaking barriers and operating heavy machines.

The game thrives on coordination. The puzzles demand it, the atmosphere enforces it, and the enemies make sure you don’t forget it. You’ll creep through places like the Necropolis, dodging the footsteps of the Monster Baby, and try to stay quiet in a candy factory filled with something called Candy Weevils. This is a title built to mess with your nerves, made even more intense by the need to rely on someone else. If you’re looking for co-op that goes beyond shooting galleries, this is it.

Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 brings the series back to its roots while doubling down on chaos.

Modern warfare is front and center, complete with jets, tanks, and enough firepower to knock down entire city blocks. The maps are massive, the matches support full cross-platform play, and everything revolves around squad tactics and destruction.

This time, the studio is pushing something called the Kinesthetic Combat System, which promises more control over how you move and shoot. It’s not just about pulling the trigger anymore. Combine that with upgraded environmental destruction and you get something that looks familiar but plays like a proper evolution. If you’re after a game that makes every bullet feel like it matters, Battlefield 6 might be what you’ve been waiting for.

Set in a rain-soaked version of Seattle, you play as an elder vampire waking up in a city divided by politics, bloodlines, and betrayal. You’ll choose your clan, drink blood to survive, and decide whether to manipulate, dominate, or obliterate your enemies.

It’s still an RPG at heart, but one dripping in gothic horror and noir atmosphere. Every dialogue choice, fight, and feeding leaves a mark on the story. The city is alive with secret factions and supernatural tension, and your actions shape which alliances last the night. If you’re into urban horror with branching paths and power plays, this one demands your attention.

The Outer Worlds 2

Obsidian’s back with another trip into space.

Expect sharp writing, sarcastic dialogue, and player-driven chaos. You can play it smart, dumb, charming, violent, or all of the above. The world reacts to your choices, companions have their own agendas, and the new skill tree lets you specialize in all sorts of weird directions. If you missed the first game, this one’s still a fresh start. If you loved the original, it sounds like they’ve doubled down on everything that worked.

Arc Raiders

Arc Raiders throws you into a dying Earth where machines rule the surface and humanity clings to life underground. You head up to scavenge, shoot, and survive, either solo or with a small squad. But you’re not alone. ARC machines respond to sound, swarm in groups, and don’t go down easy. Every trip to the surface is a risk.

When you get back to base, you use what you scavenge to build gear, upgrade weapons, and unlock skill trees. Choose between survival, mobility, or endurance paths to tweak how your character handles the chaos. The PvPvE tension adds extra bite. Other raiders are out there, listening for your gunshots. If you want a shooter with high stakes and no guarantees, Arc Raiders might be your kind of gamble.

Mina the Hollower

Perfectly timed for Halloween, Mina the Hollower is a love letter to 8-bit action games, but with modern design under the hood. You play as Mina, a whip-wielding inventor trying to save a cursed island from decay. The visuals channel Game Boy Color aesthetics, but the animation, pacing, and feedback are tuned for today’s standards.

The burrowing mechanic is the star here. You can dive underground to avoid damage, travel faster, or launch surprise attacks. Add in sidearms, trinkets, and RPG-style upgrades, and you’ve got a deep but approachable action game. Dark fantasy vibes meet tight mechanics, making this a must for anyone who still loves pixel art and punchy gameplay.

You’re in Purgatory, trying to stop the fallen angel Azazel from starting a demonic apocalypse. It’s a fast-paced first-person shooter that leans into movement, mayhem, and massive weapons.

You can team up with up to two friends or go it alone. Each character has unique perks, and you can pull off ridiculous combos using tarot cards and infernal gadgets. Maps are wild, enemies are relentless, and boss fights are built for spectacle. This is old-school action with modern co-op polish. If you miss the days when shooters didn’t hold back, this one is for you.
