Looking for an RTS to play tonight? This top 10 PC countdown compares base building, squad tactics, mythological powers and huge armies to help you choose your next game.
Research date: September 8, 2026. Every ranked game is fully released. We count from #10 to #1; the order is our editorial pick, based on the decisions each game offers.
StarCraft II includes the free Wings of Liberty campaign; other campaigns and some co-op content cost extra. Warcraft III: Reforged 2.0 is already released. Its optional Legacy client supports offline/LAN play only. Neither is a newly announced Warcraft III game.
