Street Fighter 6 and Diablo 4 make for an interesting pairing to start June: One’s all color, the other’s all gloom. Maybe the decision to play one or the other is a good personality test? Are you more Ryu or Nephalem?
Also coming this month: An exciting new horror game set in a World War I bunker and a romantic murder mystery set in an alternative Victorian London. (I’m not sure what playing either or both of those games says about you.)
For a full picture of the year in PC gaming, check out our complete guide to 2023’s new games. And expect a bunch of additions to be made to that list as announcements pour in from the various summer showcases this month, including our own PC Gaming Show on June 11—more on all that below.
June gaming showcases
E3 might be dead, but the month of June still exists, and that’s enough to keep the summer showcases going. Sony fired first with its event in May, but the rest of the shows are happening this month, including livestreams from Xbox and Ubisoft, a big Starfield show, and the return of PC Gamer’s own PC Gaming Show. Here’s the full schedule of summer gaming showcases.
