3 articles · Updated · Game Informer · Jun 7

Eleven games made the editors’ standout list from the 2026 PC Gaming Show, spanning sequels, remasters and new indie projects rather than a full event recap.
The picks were driven by immediate hands-on hooks: 2 Fights 2 Tight Spaces shadow-dropped into early access, while About Fishing, Ascenders: Beyond The Peak, Shroom & Gloom and There Are No Ghosts At The Grand all offered demos.
Several selections centered on notable twists in familiar properties, including El Paso, Elsewhere 2’s 20 new levels, Thief: The Dark Project Remastered targeting winter, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers leaning into CRPG dice-roll systems.
The shortlist also highlighted tonal and mechanical variety across the show, from Carcass Clad’s 3-player co-op tank action to Into the Wind’s delivery-and-dogfighting mix and Signet City from the creators of Citizen Sleeper.
The curated list narrows a showcase that earlier reports said featured more than 60 games and 20-plus world premieres during the Summer Game Fest rush.
