What To Expect From Steam And Valve In 2022

From Elden Ring to Steam Deck, it’s going to be a big year for Valve’s storefront


It’s shaping up to be another record-breaking year for Valve-owned digital storefront Steam thanks to massive games like Elden Ring and Starfield, and new hardware like the Steam Deck. Last year was a sleepier one when it came to PC blockbusters due to covid-19-driven game delays, but 2021’s loss is this year’s gain. From ports and early access launches to massive expansions and a new console, here’s what’s coming to Steam in 2022.


Capcom’s multiplayer loot RPG was a hit on Nintendo Switch last year and will now be available to Steam players in record time thanks to the company’s increasing emphasis on PC gaming. While the port handles great, Monster Hunter Rise hasn’t exactly blown people away with its minimal graphical upgrades over the Switch version. Thankfully, the game’s air-grappling wirebugs remain intact and as fun as ever, while features like team communication are also easier on PC.


God of War



2018’s Game Awards Game of the Year hits PC for the first time in 2022 as Sony continues to bring over its hit PlayStation exclusives. Sony Santa Monica’s Norse take on Kratos plays great and looks even better on PC as well, making it the definitive way to experience the roughly 20-hour journey in some reviewers’ eyes. Unlike the console version, God of War on PC can sport over 60 FPS and 4K resolution at the same time. Let the no-hit runs commence.


Dying Light 2



Zombies, loot, and meaningful choices. That’s what developer Techland promises for its open-world sequel and what it seems like it may have managed to do, at least based on earlier previews. Dying Light 2 won’t actually end up taking you 500 hours to beat, but if it’s anything like the first Dying Light, more than a few Steam players will log as many hours parkouring through its macabre theme park.
