Conclusion
This sums up the list of best upcoming PC games for the year 2020. Well, personally, I am eagerly waiting for two of these games. The first one is Cyberpunk 2077 from the developers of CD Projekt Red. Having played their Witcher 3, I have high hopes for this one too.
The second game that I am looking forward to playing on my PC is the Assassins Creed: Valhalla. I have been a fanboy of the AC series since school. This game brings back so many memories, and they keep improving their content year after year. It took me about 70 hours to complete AC: Odyssey and boy what a game it was. Let’s hope they don’t mess both of these up in 2020.
But this is not the end of the list, there’s a lot more in the store that’s coming your way from various developers and studios around the globe. With the newly launched Processors from Ryzen on October 8, the gaming world is going to be more invested this time. New tech always comes with new opportunities for the budget gamers to set up their devices for the long haul. We’ll continue to update this current list with new video games as they are announced.
Do let us know the name of the game that you are waiting for!
