Computer games: they just keep making more of them. At the start of each month, we sift through the upcoming PC betas and game releases and pick out the most interesting of them—May’s list is below, starting with a beta test you might not want to miss.
For a full picture of the year in PC gaming, check out our complete guide to 2023’s new games. Next month is the traditional month of E3, which can sometimes be a little short on new games, but not so this year, with Diablo 4 and Street Fighter 6 both launching in June. Granted, E3 technically isn’t happening this year, although that’s not stopping publishers from scheduling big showcases.
It isn’t stopping us, either: We’ll be back with the PC Gaming Show on June 11.
