After 2020, when great games came out, 2021 was a little dull in this sense. Good games like Little Nightmares II, Resident Evil Village and Returnal came out, but they didn’t feel like enough to shake things up. But with all the delays, it seems that the real festival will be in the new year. It is almost certain that this year will be enjoyable for PC gamers. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that highly anticipated games such as Elden Ring and Starfield will be released in the coming months. The second is that the games that were exclusive to consoles before will be released on PC. Without further ado, let’s get started talking about the top games coming to PC this month.

Monster Hunter Rise – January 12
The last member of the Monster Hunter series was released in March 2021 as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. The game has been so successful that a PC version is being prepared less than a year later. Considering that Monster Hunter: World is still played by hundreds of thousands of PC players, it’s easy to understand the hype surrounding this new game. Get ready for hundreds of hours of adventure with series-exclusive creatures and quests in a great community-driven atmosphere. Release Date: January 12, 2022 Developer: Capcom Download: Buy on Steam Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch
God of War – January 16
God of War, one of the best games of 2018, finally comes to PC this month. The glorious success of the first game, its redefinition of Kratos, and its mastery of storytelling, took the game to a whole different level. Now, PC players will be able to experience this journey before God of War: Ragnarok drops later this year. Although we have become accustomed to Sony’s interest in PC lately, no one expected God of War to arrive. This news is especially great for high-end PC owners. Because the game comes with 60 FPS support in 4K resolution, this will make the already smooth gameplay much more special. If you’re interested in Norse Mythology, Kratos, or playing a great action game, the best game of January 2022 will definitely be God of War. Release Date: January 16, 2022 Developer: Santa Monica Studios Download: Buy on Steam Platforms: PC, Playstation 4
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction – January 20
Rainbow Six Extraction, the biggest new game of January 2022, is ready to rewrite the rules of tactical FPS. Ubisoft wants more in the field it already dominates. As you may remember, the previous game of the series, Siege, was released in 2015. The game is now showing its age. Everyone has great expectations from Rainbow Six Extraction, which will be released on almost all platforms alongside PC. However, do not have any false expectations here. Extraction isn’t really interested in being an alternative to Siege. Instead, you can think of it as a mode that can be played with up to 3 people. Release Date: January 20, 2022 Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Download: Buy on Epic Store Platforms: PC, Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, Stadia
Windjammers 2 – January 20
Our fourth game in January is a sequel to the classic Windjammers, which finally arrives after 28 years. After the first game was released on classic consoles such as Nintendo Wii and Playstation Vita over the years, we needed a sequel that was developed by staying true to the original. The gameplay mechanics of Windjammers 2 will be almost as we remember them. It will continue its life as a sports game where players try to score goals with a frisbee and do so from the overhead camera. Let us remind you that there will be a total of 11 playable characters too. Moreover, the game is free from the first day with Game Pass. Release Date: January 20, 2022 Developer: DotEmu Download: Play on first day with Game Pass Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection – January 28
We said earlier that this year will be great for PC gamers, and nowhere else is that more evident than in the Legacy of Thieves collection. Just like God of War, Uncharted is preparing to come to PC with 4K and 60 FPS support. This collection pack contains two of Playstation’s most important exclusive games. You can experience the last two games of the series with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. The Uncharted movie starring Nathan Drake, played by Tom Holland, your neighborhood’s friendly Spider-Man, will hit theaters in February 2022. As such, there can be no better timing to play these games. Let’s remind you that Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will be released for Playstation 5 along with PC. Release Date: January 28, 2022 Developer: Naughty Dog Download: Buy on Steam Platforms: PC, Playstation If you’ve read this far, you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming slate of PC games coming out in January 2022.
