The most desired PC game on Steam in May 2026 has been named - gamers are not only waiting for Subnautica 2

On Steam, you can add a game to your wishlist. This allows developers to know how interested players are in their project. Games are also promoted in the list, so if they are frequently added, they will appear closer to the top — attracting even more attention.

In May 2026, the long-awaited survival game Subnautica 2 may be released on PC via Steam, and a new installment of the Forza Horizon franchise is also expected, among others.

List of the most desired games for May 2026 on Steam (preliminary release dates):

1. Subnautica 2 — it was previously announced that the game was planned for an “early access” release in May, but the date may change. The reason is that this release window was announced by a temporarily appointed manager, after which the original developer filed a complaint in court.
2. Forza Horizon 6 — May 19, a racing game-service.
3. Outbound — May 14, a cozy game about traveling in an electric van, farming, building workstations, and various types of power plants.
4. Dead as Disco — May 5, a fighting game where “martial arts meet music”.
5. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight — May 22.
6. Paralives — May 25, a life simulator in the style of The Sims.
7. Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core — May 20, a cooperative shooter.
8. Shift At Midnight — May 28, an online detective horror game.
9. SpaceCraft — May 20, an online game about space exploration and construction.
10. Alabaster Dawn — May 7, an action RPG that “incorporates the best of CrossCode, the hit from Radical Fish Games studio”.
