Christmas is officially just ONE week away, so it's safe to say that most of you are starting to feel the gift-buying stress

RealSport has you covered, as we have assembled a list of the best PC games to buy this winter.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 is not only the best new game in our PC games list, but it might just be the franchise’s best entry.

The final product is a tighter, smoother experience than any of the series' previous entries, and not reinventing the wheel, it offers a dark, mature tone that pulls you in.

The cinematics are incredible, the environments are stunning, and the game is able to take advantage of Nvidia’s ray tracing technology (if your PC is properly equipped).

Check out our full review of COD: Modern Warfare here.

Modern Warfare multiplayer also includes some interesting new modes such as Gunfight, Ground War, and a cooperative “Special Ops” mode.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has aged better than any other open-world game on the market. After nearly half a decade since release, it’s still one of the most impressive open-world games that’s ever existed.

The game combines aspects of other incredible open-world titles, namely the unapologetic scale of games like Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V.

Apex Legends is up there with the very best battle royale games.

The map is incredible, and the 'ping' communication system in use is something that every FPS should employ from here on out.

While some games take time to appreciate and grow into, this rocket-fuelled game hits you like a tonne of bricks. It’s a game that pulls you in within seconds and, hundreds of hours later, just keeps getting better. 

Rainbow Six Siege (2015)

Rainbow Six Siege might lack the crisp hit detection of Counter-Strike, but it's a more modern FPS that rewards timing and coordinated teamwork as much as aim.
