The best FPS games that you can play right now vary wildly. After all, there’s no concrete formula when it comes to developing a first-person shooter: there are multiplayer battle royales, action-adventure shoot ‘em ups, and innovative takes on the genre which blend unique mechanics into the mix.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- Released: 2012
- Developer: Valve, Hidden Path Entertainment
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been around for over a decade now, meaning that if you haven’t yet tried it, you’re probably already well aware of what it is. It's a modern warfare shooter that typically pits two teams against one another, Terrorists and Counterterrorists, who must race to eliminate the enemy team or plant/defuse a bomb.
Valorant
- Released: 2020
- Developer: Riot Games
- Platforms: PC
Valorant is, essentially, what you could call CS:GO for the less technically advanced. The game follows the same format, with two teams of five fighting to eliminate each other or their bomb, except it's a hell of a lot more vibrant. And each agent has abilities; something you would never see in CS:GO.
Rainbow Six: Siege
- Released: 2015
- Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
Rainbow Six: Siege also bears some similarities to Valorant and CS:GO, given that it’s another tactical team-based shooter. In this one, you’ll also often find yourself planting or defusing bombs, with death match and hostage modes in the mix.
Call of Duty
- Released: 2022 (Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone 2.0)
- Developer: Infinity Ward
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
You could argue that Call of Duty is in a league of its own when it comes to FPS games. One of the biggest FPS franchises that there is, Activision simply cannot stop churning these games out... except for in 2023, apparently. Sure, some of the games are much better than others, but everyone has played (or at least witnessed someone else play) a Call of Duty game at some point or another.
That said, if you prefer a more realistic modern warfare experience and want a campaign to engage with, Modern Warfare 2 launched just recently. Furthermore, if you’d rather pop heads in a battle royale, Warzone 2.0 also dropped not long after that, and they’re worthy of wearing the megafranchise's crown.
Doom Eternal
- Released: 2020
- Developer: id Software
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
Doom Eternal is a fresh reimagining of Doom 2: Hell on Earth. When it comes to this entry, both Doom Eternal and predecessor, Doom (2016) are great shooters to jump into depending on your experience with the iconic series.
Step into the role of Doom Slayer as they battle with the various demons they find across hell. Doom is aggressive, rhythmic, and constantly encouraging you to keep on moving… and killing. Of all the entries in this list, it’s perhaps one of the more satisfying, and is accompanied by a badass soundtrack to slay to from none other than
