June isn’t usually known for big PC game releases. It tends to sit in that strange lull between spring blockbusters and the pre-holiday hype cycle.
But this year is different. The PC release calendar for June 2025 is unexpectedly full of high-potential titles. There's a decent mix across genres, from survival MMOs and narrative-heavy action games to stealth horror, old-school remasters, and even a new arcade-style football game.
You’ve got options whether you prefer high-stakes survival with massive sandworms or just want to shoot your way through a haunted government building. More interestingly, several of these games are breaking from what you’d normally expect.
Some are trying out bold ideas, others are returning to older formulas that used to work but were abandoned. There's also a shift away from aggressive monetization this month, with more developers committing to full experiences without daily logins or battle passes.
If you're trying to figure out what to spend your time and money on in June, here's a breakdown of the most notable PC games coming your way, what they do well, and what to watch out for.
Dune: Awakening
Releasing June 10, Dune: Awakening is a large-scale open-world survival MMO from Funcom, the team behind Conan Exiles and Metal: Hellsinger. It’s set on the planet Arrakis, and while it pulls inspiration from both the books and the recent films, it tells a separate story.
In this timeline, Paul Atreides never existed, and you're instead playing as a Bene Gesserit agent searching for the missing Fremen.
This is not a linear experience. It’s an always-online sandbox where you’ll build bases, gather spice, manage factions, and avoid getting eaten by massive sandworms. Combat mixes PvP and PvE. Events unfold in real time across a persistent world, and there’s a strong emphasis on long-term player progression.
The game is visually impressive, built in Unreal Engine 5, and offers a detailed version of the desert planet complete with weather systems and large-scale battles. It’s been in early alpha testing with limited access, and while some players praised the ambitious scale, others raised concerns about grind-heavy mechanics.
Either way, if you’re a Dune fan or just want a survival MMO with some tactical weight, it’s worth checking out.
MindsEye
Also arriving on June 10 is MindsEye, an open-world action-adventure game from Build A Rocket Boy. The studio includes former Rockstar North developers, and it shows. From the way characters move to how the story unfolds, the influence of the Grand Theft Auto series is obvious.
You play as Jacob Diaz, a soldier with a brain implant that’s wiped his memory. The game is set in Redrock City, a neon-lit metropolis inspired by Las Vegas, and the story centers on a conspiracy involving rogue tech, shady politicians, and the AI systems behind Jacob’s condition.
The implant, called “Mind’s Eye,” allows for some light cyberpunk-style gameplay effects, although it's mostly grounded.
So far, the biggest question mark around MindsEye is authenticity. Some viewers noticed what sounded like AI-generated voiceovers in the trailer, raising concerns about how much of the game is hand-crafted and how much is generated. Until it’s in players’ hands, skepticism is fair. Wait for detailed reviews before buying. There’s potential here, but also a lot that could go wrong.
FBC: Firebreak
June 17 brings a major shift from Remedy, the studio behind Alan Wake and Control. FBC: Firebreak takes place after the events of Control and is their first co-op multiplayer game.
You and two other players act as agents for the Federal Bureau of Control. You’ll explore the Oldest House, fight Hiss creatures, and complete various combat and objective-based missions. It’s structured like a wave-based shooter, with heavier bosses and mission modifiers.
The key detail is what it doesn’t have: no battle pass, no daily rewards, and no free-to-play model. It’s a self-contained multiplayer game with a flat cost. If you want a break from live service games, this could be your next squad pick.
Disney TRON: Catalyst
TRON: Catalyst is set to be released on June 17 to coincide with the hype around the upcoming TRON: Ares film. This one’s a top-down action game with melee combat, ranged attacks, and the return of light cycle racing.
The plot is original and isn’t just a rehash of movie events. Gameplay is focused on quick reflexes and skill upgrades, and while it won’t be a massive release, it might be enough to bring back longtime TRON fans who’ve been waiting for something new.
Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade lands on PC on June 11, quite a while after its PS5 debut in 2024. Developed by Korean studio Shift Up, it’s a fast-paced third-person action game with hack-and-slash combat. You play as Eve, a warrior tasked with reclaiming Earth after it’s been overrun by rogue AI and alien lifeforms.
The combat feels similar to Nier: Automata, with a mix of stylish combos and tight movement. On PS5, the game got strong reviews for its visuals and responsive controls, and the PC version is shaping up to be the best way to play thanks to higher frame rates, upscaling options, and support for ultra-wide monitors.
It’s single-player only and best played with a controller. If you’re in the mood for a flashy, combat-heavy action game with light RPG systems, this is one of June’s more polished offerings.
The Alters
Coming June 13, The Alters is a sci-fi survival game from 11 bit studios, known for titles like This War of Mine and Frostpunk. The concept is unusual: you play as Jan Dolski, a stranded astronaut trying to escape a toxic planet.
To do that, he uses a quantum computer to create alternate versions of himself. Each “Alter” has a different set of skills and traits—one might be an engineer, another a botanist, and so on.
You switch between these characters to solve problems, maintain your base, and push the story forward. There’s also a psychological angle here, with each Alter reacting differently to events and decisions.
It’s not a fast-paced game, but if you enjoy thoughtful survival mechanics with a strong narrative, it’s worth your attention. Early previews suggest this could be one of the more original games this month.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic
The Five Nights at Freddy’s series has gone through a lot of changes since it first launched. The newest entry, Secret of the Mimic, launches June 13 and pushes the franchise even further away from its point-and-click roots. Like Security Breach, it’s a fully 3D stealth horror game with exploration, puzzles, and timed objectives.
The setting is Edwin’s Costume Manor, and the villain is a shape-shifting monster called the Mimic. It’s designed to terrify, with erratic AI behavior and environmental traps. If you liked previous FNAF entries but wanted more freedom and interaction, this might be your favorite in the series.
It’s releasing on Friday the 13th, fitting for a game like this.
REMATCH
If you're tired of the usual football games, REMATCH could be a nice change. Launching June 19, it offers 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 arcade-style football with exaggerated moves and quick pacing. Think Rocket League, but with actual players instead of cars.
It’s not licensed, so you won’t see real teams or players, but it’s also not loaded with microtransactions. You pay once and play. That might appeal to players who’ve stepped away from games like EA Sports FC because of aggressive monetization.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster
Wrapping up the month on June 26 is System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. This isn't a full remake but a modernized version of the original 1999 title. The updates focus on better textures, lighting, and minor UI improvements.
You still play as the lone survivor aboard the Von Braun spaceship, facing down the malevolent AI SHODAN. It’s a tight mix of horror, shooter, and RPG elements. If you’ve never played it, this is probably the best time to jump in.
And if you’re a fan, this version aims to respect your memory of how the original looked while making it more playable in 2025.
