More than 5 of the Top 10 Most Played Games on Steam are multi-player games. It may seem that the era of single player games is coming to an end especially when online publications and YouTube channels speak of its demise. Add to that the extreme popularity of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS and the shutting down of studios which used to make great single player games, some might really believe single player games on the PC are dying.
To alleviate fears our readers and fellow gamers might have, we made a list of upcoming, in-development, and complete single player games on the PC.

Not giving money for multiplayer centric turds would be a good start
i dont know about that! Most single player games now have Microtran”Suck”tions on its game most recent! Metal gear no so survive req you to pay 10$ for a save slot!
Nahh I’m still loving single player games. I finished Middle Earth a couple of days ago and I’m still playing Skyrim with almost 200 hours on it. Still waiting for Elder Scrolls 6 lol.
