![<h2>The best modern PC games</h2> <h3>(August 2020 update)</h3> <p>With 2020 more than halfway through and many great PC releases coming out over the last few years, we thought it was high time to revisit our picks of the best PC games you can play right now.</p> <p>To be clear, this list doesn’t attempt to single out the “best” or “most influential” PC games of all time since comparing the original DOOM’s gameplay 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 each genre. No, this is a list of games from the last decade that we at IGN – after much internal debate – collectively recommend the most based on our own tastes. Consider it our staff’s personal recommendation for games that we think you should play if you haven’t already. 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, what 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></div><p></button></div></div><p></output></p>
<p>“We have decided to let our in-house development team handle the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” The Witcher’s account said in a recent tweet. “We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be carried out and as such have to postpone the release of Q2 until further notice. We will keep you informed as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.”</p>

The forthcoming free upgrade is said to “visually and technically” improve 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 from people overseeing development,” according to a 2021 tweet.
This isn’t CD Projekt Red’s first delayed project either – neither was Cyberpunk 2077 always delayed in front of his release.
While this next-gen version is currently facing delays, CD Projekt Red is continuing to expand The Witcher. Last month, the company announced that a new Witcher game is also in development. Previously, IGN recognized The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as our 2015 Game of the Year.
