Happy Not-E3 month. We're officially in that short few weeks of the year where the games industry comes together to announce as much as humanly possible before dispersing to prepare for the same thing next summer. That means our event schedule is unsurprisingly packed, but let's not lose sight of all the PC game releases you can actually play in June.

June isn't quite as busy when compared to the beginning of 2025, and that's fine enough since so many of us still have May's late Elden Ring Nightreign launch to contend with. Mercifully, there are only a couple of games launching around Summer Game Fest showcase days, like Deltarune and Rune Factory.

But we've still got quite a few big PC games to watch in June, and the nature of several survival-crafting ordeals plus a few RPGs guarantees they'll be lengthy ones. I'm sure this list will grow much more chaotic with any Summer Game Fest surprises, but I've highlighted what I'm eyeing for now.

June's big PC release dates

Dune: Awakening | June 10 (Steam)

Dune: Awakening | June 10 (building in Dune: Awakening lives up to its legacy of cool artwork.

The Alters | June 13 (Steam)

The Alters | June 13 (preview for The Alters has me interested in the survival-crafting bits.

Rematch | June 19 (Steam)

Rematch | June 19 (Steam)
I know more about Frank Herbert than football (absolutely nothing), but love the spectacle around the sport. Thankfully, Rematch appears to be more of that and less traditional. It's ridiculous, flashy, arcadey football that's just as focused on the fast-paced pizzazz of an action game while staying true to the spirit of the sport.

Raidou Remastered | June 19 (Steam)

Raidou Remastered | June 19 (Raidou Remastered preview says it "keeps a lot of the charm of the original and shears away most of its rougher edges," so I feel less bad about my personal failing.

System Shock 2: Anniversary Remaster | June 26 (Steam)

System Shock 2: Anniversary Remaster | June 26 (origin story borne from frustration, I'm hopeful the System Shock 2 remaster cuts the jank and extra modding steps out, delivering a worthy companion to the original.
