Last month felt like a big month in PC gaming as the surprise imminent launch of long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong had smaller games all announcing delays to dive out of its way. Hot on its heels was Borderlands 4, both of which were sitting high on the list of top wishlisted games on Steam ahead of launch. Gird your game libraries because October is a hell of a lot bigger than that.
There are five games near the top of Steam's most-wishlisted chart all launching this month. October does tend to be a big month for game launches, and big games do tend to gain momentum to the top of the wishlist pile the month of release. Occasionally we'll see months where two or three majorly anticipated games are all stumbling over each other but five? I'm calling uncle.
