Big PC Exclusives of 2016, 2017 and 2018. NEW!

Note 1:AA (Mid- Tier) and AAA games only. Feel free to list games that I have missed.

Note 2:Games are named PC exclusive based on Official announcements from developers so far. Everything can change in the future. For Example: When Killing Floor 2 was listed it wasn't announced for PS4 at that time, now it's timed exclusive.

Note 3: At the beginning of every year, games that have already released last year are removed. It leaves more room for new games to be added and prevents the page from becoming too laggy.

Note 4: If you want to see what games released in 2015 then past following link in google search bar:

Pretty much want to play most of those games... Especially the space combat and survival horror games. I just hope some make it this year as I have a feeling will be delayed till 2015. Hope not though.

I need to bookmark this thread... And find the interesting games on Steam/Origin/Uplay and add to my wish list.

Or just add them to this post:

• The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
• Reset
• Eden Star
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Syberia 3 (Or 2)
• Asylum
• Kingdom Come : Deliverance
• Prey for the Gods

I think that is all

Looks like a nice variety

PC gaming is dying.... ;)

@Cloud_imperium: much respect and thank you for the hard work putting this up...I will follow you when I get home from work....and I dont follow anyone :p

Also I suppose kerbal space program can go on the list seeing as it's not technically released yet

Man I am excited for a lot of those games listed! The ones that I am really really excited for are Heroes of the Storm and Lifeless Planet among others........ ITS TO MANY AHHHHHHHHHH

I have given up on Fortnite it has been a long time since we seen anything from it.

That´s a pretty impressive list of titles,several of them look pretty amazing.

You should post this in system wars,then watch the stupid roll in,would be hours of fun...:p

So many games to play, such littlte time. :(

BTW tropico 5 is also coming to ps4.

Nice thread, plenty of great looking games I hadn't heard of.

wow. good list.

Thanks bro , much appreciated . Going to add KSP and Rust there as well :-)

I do not have 500 posts on forums , so I can't post this in system wars right now :-p

I. Want. Them. ALL! I'm PUMPED for what's ahead! :D

I thought U55 was canceled .?

After being green lit on steam , they headed to kickstarter but due to lack of coverage it was not funded . May be someday they'll come back and will try to fund it through early access like Next Car Game . As for other games I'll check them out , thanks ;-)

New trailer for The Forest, cant wait to play this in VR!

My finger got tired from scrolling down the page, GOD DAMN.

Updated old trailer with new one . Looks epic !

Man some of those trailers look really appealing, better get some of my backlog out of the way. Many thanks Cloud Imperium for creating this. A correction(?) and nitpick though: Cyberpunk 2077 is probably not exclusive

http://www.vg247.com/2013/10/12/cyberpunk-2077-most-probably-will-come-to-next-gen-but-theres-nothing-to-announce-yet-says-cdp/

and Divinity Original Sin and Might and Magic are better classified as turn-based RPGS, not action.

Edit: somehow missed your disclaimer about what qualifies as exclusive. Nevermind about Cyberpunk in that case.

Age of Wonders 3?

Will add that as well :-)

You will add it tto the bottom of the list right?

@horgen123: I just added Age of Wonders 3 :-)

I've fixed the genre description of those games . Thanks for info .

@horgen123: I just added Age of Wonders 3 :-)

I've fixed the genre description of those games . Thanks for info .

I've noticed that survival horror games are becoming big now.

Betrayer is out now, looks really good to be honest:

Wow . Thanks :-)

You're welcome. And thank you for this awesome thread ! Lots of great games coming to PC, good times ahead :)

Yep . Sadly websites like gamespot doesn't cover games like these and only deal with articles related to Titanfall and Xbox VS PS4 for click baits .

Yeah, but that's the reality. I don't see it as sad. PC has games that appeal to a great number of niches, which makes it very unique and very appealing to some people, but the games and genres stay niche and don't get the coverage that big (console) games get.

And in the end PC wins I think because it gets big games like Titanfall and Watch Dogs which get lots of coverage and very small, niche games.

Console games also get more coverage because they are fewer and more far between. Lots of hype is build up around them i.e. Halo or Infamous because they need to sell systems. The companies behind those games spend a lot of money on marketing and getting in the press. Money that a lot of PC developers don't have, or that they want to spend on other aspects.

But PC does have a great community of people that are willing to put time into threads like these to inform eachother what games are coming out :)

Yep , I agree with you . And thanks :-)

Space games again. Awesome.

@R4gn4r0k: Betrayer looks really cool!

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by the list. It looks like there are some really good games on it. Given my backlog, I should be playing these games sometime in 2017. lol

A couple of games I saw at EGX this weekend that are worth mentioning:

Monstrum: A first person horror game that is set for release late Q3 2014. Players find themselves on an abandoned ship that was built in the 70s and have to locate resources to help evade the monsters that hunt you and fix up an escape route. The game features a procedurally generated maze like environment and can be played with or without the Oculus Rift.

Dream: Currently in early access on Steam, an atmospheric exploration game filled with puzzles and secrets. You play as Howard Phillips, a graduate who gains an obsession with dreams only to confront mislaid concerns in the form of nightmares. This game can also be played with or without the Oculus Rift. I have 33% discount codes for Dream, soanyone who is interested just PM me for one. (Valid till 6th April).

Cyberpunk 2077 is not a PC exclusive. atleast they already told back in 2012 that it's planned for both next-gen consoles.

also not many of these are "big" titles, but more like indie. looking very good, nevertheless.

7 days to die and the dead linger are promising exploration/crafting games in early access on Steam. Craft the world, Starbound, space engineers, planet explorers are also early access and are pretty good already.

Just in case wanted to add to list.

GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!! GAUNTLET!!

MUST HAVE THIS.

Don't care about any of the other pc stuff right now, I just finished a Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy game run and I must say I need more gauntlet!

Thread description :

"Note : Games are named PC exclusive based on Official announcements from developers so far , everything can change in the future ."

CDPR Announcement :

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-probably-coming-to-ps4-xbox-one/1100-6415559/

"It most probably will be," he said. "But we can't confirm or deny because it's too early for that."

2.

Depends on opinion : For me a game with full voice acting , soundtrack , great visuals and gameplay (Like most of these games) are more AAA than mainstream press A to win interactive movies/garbage .

Cant wait for Gauntlet, used to love this game on my Amstrad CPC back in the day.

All those games suck. Will maybe get one or two from the bargain bin in six months.

(somebody had to say it, right?)

@Cloud_imperium: there are at least 4 games on that list that are going to be on other devices EVE Valkyrie on ps4 using Morpheus, kingdom come deliverance on ps4 and probably Xbox one, among the sleep also on ps4, and broken sword 5 on ps vita.

@Cloud_imperium Great work m8!

@horgen can we sticky this? It would be nice to have a thread with upcoming releases/exclusives for PC, at least for this and the next year. :)

I'm all for it. Just want to hear @klunt_bumskrint opinion as well on it.

He should answer his call I hope.

This is version 3.0 now .

PC - the platform where the indie developers can make all the simulators and horrors they want. It's like nothing else comes out these days as a PC exclusive. Only a handful of those are actually something different that is of non-inferior quality at the same time.
