If your bank account and your free time could talk, they'd both be asking you to calm down about February 2027. Metro 2039, Persona 4 Revival and Fable all land within three weeks of each other, and then Final Fantasy VII Revelation turns up on 8 April. Resident Evil Veronica and State of Decay 3 are confirmed for the year too, but still don't have exact dates.
What are the big new PC games of 2027?
Six games with an official PC announcement for 2027, each with a video you can judge for yourself. Metro 2039 is a story-driven first-person shooter from 4A Games. Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Persona 4 Golden, a long RPG about a murder mystery in a rural town. Fable is Playground Games' open-world fantasy RPG, Final Fantasy VII Revelation finishes Square Enix's remake trilogy, Resident Evil Veronica is Capcom's remake of its 2000 survival-horror game, and State of Decay 3 is Undead Labs' co-op survival game.
Why is 2027 such a big year for PC games?
Because the big ones are bunched together. Three land within three weeks of each other in February, and a trilogy finale follows in April. People are already searching for them by name: in the UK, "resident evil code veronica" gets about 12,100 searches a month, "fable release date" about 12,100, "state of decay 3" about 9,900, and "metro 2039" and "persona 4 revival" about 5,400 each (Google Keyword Planner, October 2026).
Why should you care before preordering?
Because most of these can't be judged yet. Several have no UK price, PC requirements or exact date, Premium editions charge extra for early access and expansions that aren't out, and Game Pass changes the sums for three of them. For most of them, the decision today is still "wishlist it", not "preorder it".
The short answer: in February, the one worth buying on day one is the one you'll actually start that day, and the rest can wait for reviews, patches or a sale. Standard editions are the sensible default, Game Pass is the low-commitment route for Persona 4 Revival, Fable and State of Decay 3, and Final Fantasy VII Revelation rewards finishing Remake and Rebirth first. Every key shop we cover is on our PC games and keys page.

Metro 2039: 4 February 2027
This is the one for you if you want a tight, hand-crafted single-player shooter instead of another enormous RPG. 4A Games describes it as a solo, story-driven FPS about The Stranger, a former Spartan heading back to a Moscow run by Hunter's regime. Radiation, bodged-together kit, and the switch between cramped tunnels and a thawing surface are all still at the heart of it.
The trailer shows a dam complex, radiation on the surface, some sneaking about with the charged Shatun rifle, and close-quarters fighting. It looks grim in exactly the way Metro should. But it's captured on a PS5 Pro, so it tells you what the combat and visuals are aiming for, not what graphics card you'll need to match it. The things I actually want to know are the PC specs, shader behaviour, ultrawide support and how the ray tracing scales if you haven't got a top-end rig.
It's one to wishlist if you want a focused, atmospheric campaign. A listing that just says "PC" isn't worth buying until it names

Persona 4 Revival: 18 February 2027
Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Persona 4 Golden. It rebuilds the graphics, menus, combat and cutscenes, but keeps the murder mystery and the calendar-driven life in rural Inaba. If you like a long RPG that's really about its characters, and you're happy splitting evenings between dungeons and deciding who to hang out with after school, this is probably yours.
From the trailer, this is properly modernised, not just a texture pack: better-proportioned characters, reworked environments and snappier-looking combat. What it can't tell you is whether all of Golden's content made it across, how the PC version runs, or whether the paid costume, Persona and music packs add anything beyond decoration.

Our Persona 4 Revival edition guide splits the base game from the Deluxe and Premium extras.
Fable: 23 February 2027
Fable is February's pick for open-world fantasy, a reputation that reacts to you, and action combat. Playground Games' Albion brings back Heroes, morality, Demon Doors and Jack of Blades, and you don't need to have finished the Lionhead games. The big question isn't whether it looks like the old ones. It's whether your choices actually change quests, relationships and the world around you, because to me that's always been the whole point of Fable.
This trailer sets out the tone, the melee, ranged attacks, magic and the current cast. Xbox's longer Bowerstone quest demo is the better watch if you want to see movement, conversations and an actual quest play out. Both are made by the publisher, though, so PC frame pacing, settings and how it'll cope on a handheld still need proof from the finished game.
Standard edition is the sensible default. Premium charges extra for early access, cosmetics and the later Order of the Hero expansion, so only pay more if you actually want those things. Our Fable PC buying guide compares Premium, Steam, Windows, Xbox Play Anywhere and Game Pass.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation: 8 April 2027
Revelation finishes off the remake trilogy on 8 April. If you've skipped both Remake Intergrade and Rebirth, don't start here. The story kicks off with Meteor, Sephiroth and everything from the first two games already in motion. The right prep is to play those two, not to read the whole 1997 plot on a wiki at midnight.
The new footage confirms you can fly the Highwind freely, parachute and grapple-hook your way around, play as Cid and Vincent, swap party members, and use FITS, a job-style ability system. Honestly, free flight in the Highwind is the bit that got me. It also leaves you with a real edition decision: the digital Premium versions add 24-hour early access and a Story Expansion Pass covering later Sephiroth and Vincent-and-the-Turks DLC. Those stories come out after launch, so there's no way to know if they're any good when you buy the base game.
I'd go standard unless you already know you want both story expansions. The Trilogy Edition can be handy if you're new, because it includes the two earlier games, but only if you've got time to get through them before April. Our updated Final Fantasy VII Revelation PC guide covers the play order, editions, saves and storage.
Resident Evil Veronica: date TBA in 2027
Resident Evil Veronica is a full remake of the 2000 game where Claire Redfield goes looking for Chris and ends up on Rockfort Island. Capcom says it's rebuilding the story, graphics and gameplay in RE Engine, not just bumping the resolution. That leaves room for big changes to the original's camera, character switching, item decisions and structure.
The announcement gives us Claire, the prison, Umbrella and an over-the-shoulder survival-horror look. It doesn't give us a release day, a UK price, editions, PC requirements or the full list of playable characters. If a shop says 31 December, that's a database placeholder unless Capcom has published the date itself.

If you want homework, Resident Evil 2 is the modern introduction to Claire. An old Code: Veronica port is interesting history, but it's not a guaranteed rehearsal for the remake. Our Resident Evil Veronica PC guide separates what's confirmed from what fans are hoping for.
State of Decay 3: date TBA in 2027
This is the co-op, keep-your-people-alive game of the bunch. Undead Labs has announced solo play plus a shared world for up to four players, with bigger settlements, weapon crafting, Plague Nests and survival consequences that stick. It's for a group that's more into keeping a community fed and alive than playing one unkillable hero.
The developer says the normal over-the-shoulder bits are game capture using the real gameplay camera. That's more useful than CGI, but it still doesn't tell you who owns the settlement, whether there's cross-play, how shared progress works, how difficulty scales or what happens to a settlement when someone leaves the group.

What about GTA VI on PC?
Sorry. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version or a PC date for GTA VI. Its current platform list is PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, on 19 November 2026. Past Rockstar release patterns and things executives have said don't add PC to that list, however much we'd all like them to.
Our GTA VI PC fact check is worth reading before you trust a preorder, an account sale or a "confirmed" date. No shop can sell you a legit PC edition that Rockstar hasn't announced.
Can I try anything before buying?
Steam Next Fest is back in 2027, including 14–21 June. It's a nice antidote to this list, because a public demo shows you whether the controls, text size, performance and core loop actually work for you, on your own machine.
Our Steam Next Fest 2027 guide turns a wall of demos into a two-hour test session. There's no reason to expect the six big games above to be there, though. Valve's event is for eligible unreleased games, and it's up to each developer whether they put out a demo.
How do I not go broke in February and April?
Preordering all three February games just because each one looks great on its own is how February gets expensive. Metro will probably be the shortest and most directed. Persona is a long calendar RPG. Fable is an open-world action RPG built to make you wander off. The one worth preordering is the one you'll actually start on day one; the others can wait for reviews, patches or a sale.
April brings a trilogy finale that rewards doing your homework. If you haven't played Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, the best thing you can buy in 2026 might be those two, not a Revelation Premium preorder. Subscriptions change the maths for Persona, Fable and State of Decay, but they also put you on a clock. The sum that matters is how many months you'll realistically be playing against the cost of just owning it.

Frequently asked questions
What are the biggest confirmed PC games of February 2027?
Metro 2039 on 4 February, Persona 4 Revival on 18 February and Fable on 23 February. They're different enough games, with different ways to buy them, that picking by release date alone is a bad plan.
When does Final Fantasy VII Revelation release on PC?
Square Enix has confirmed 8 April 2027 for Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox on PC, alongside the console versions.
Which 2027 PC games are on Game Pass?
Persona 4 Revival, Fable and State of Decay 3 have announced Game Pass routes. What's in the catalogue can change, so check the live UK service page before counting on it for a particular month.
Should you preorder a 2027 PC game now?
Only if the exact edition or early-access perk genuinely matters to you and you're happy with the refund terms. If PC requirements, performance or independent reviews matter more, a wishlist costs nothing, and our UK PC game retailer guide links each shop's refund policy for when you do buy.
