Compare PC Games

PC games are software for playing on a computer; supported platforms and the kind of play you want are key to choosing one.

Compare genre, single-player and online multiplayer options, controller support, mod support, supported operating systems, and whether there is a free plan. The signal score is out of 10; API, open-source, and free-tier marks indicate those attributes when listed.

How to choose

Which operating systems does the game support?

Choose a game that lists support for the operating system you use. The board compares Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web support.

For example, Celeste lists Windows, macOS, and Linux, while Age of Empires IV lists Windows.

Can I play alone or online with others?

Check the single-player and online multiplayer details to see whether a game fits how you want to play.

These are separate comparison points, so check both rather than assuming a game supports a particular play style.

Does the game have a free plan or a paid price?

Check the free-plan and paid-from fields before choosing. A free plan can make it possible to start without paying, while a paid game does not list a free plan.

Among Us and Apex Legends are listed with free plans; Balatro is listed as paid without a free plan.

Does it support controllers or mods?

If controller use or mods matter to you, compare those fields directly. The board lists controller support and mod support as separate features.

Questions

What should I check before choosing a PC game?

Compare supported operating systems, genre, single-player and online multiplayer options, controller support, mod support, and the free-plan and paid-from details.

Which operating systems do PC games support?

The board compares Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web support. Check a game's supported OS field for your device.

Are there free PC games?

Yes. The board includes games with a free plan. Check that field on an individual game; pricing models can differ.

How can I tell if a game has online multiplayer?

Check its online multiplayer field. The board also lists single-player as a separate comparison point.
