You've got Doom Eternal and Jedi Fallen Order, as well as a few co-op games that you'll probably have no issues enjoying solo, like Borderlands 3 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The rest of 2019 is looking healthy, too. The pervasive fear around the death of singleplayer games is likely more about where they're going, though, rather than where they are right now-so let's look ahead. Some games from last year have had a healthy extended life, too, if you're willing to spend money on yet more hours of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. While there have been a few multiplayer breakouts like Apex Legends and Mordhau, it feels like the year has so far belonged to solo experiences.

I would think there's something for everyone in that list, and many of those games are from major publishers. If I had to predict anything, it's that my beloved immersive sims and stealth games will be less prominent during the next era of singleplayer games There are also players we can't see, as it's available through Bethesda's launcher, too. Clearly it hasn't seen the same level of success, but Doom was a more remarkable game, and Rage 2 doesn't look like a disaster by any means.

In the case of Rage 2, it's had what seems like a slow start in the UK boxed market, but perhaps a more relevant metric is looking at its all-time peak on Steam: 13,591, compared to Doom 2016's 31,623. Of those, a few have been publicly confirmed successes, like Anno, Capcom's games and Sekiro.
