PC gamers have already made two early access survival games into hits this year: Palworld and Enshrouded. Will we do it a third time when Nightingale releases in late February? I think it's possible—our hunger for games in which you craft stuff and try not to die is bottomless.
There's lots to look forward to in the non-survival-crafting department, too. Whether it'll be any good or not is TBD, but Ubisoft's pirate combat game Skull and Bones is finally releasing after over a decade of revisions, and I'm awfully curious to see how it turned out. There are also some notable remasters this month: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered and Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster.
Below are the biggest PC games releasing this month, plus a list of notable February events and happenings. For a more zoomed-out view of what's coming out on PC this year, see our big list of 2024's upcoming PC games.
