An all new Street Fighter game is just one of many new games coming to Steam in June.
We're half way through 2023, and with a new month comes a new slate of games landing on PC over the next few weeks. We've gone through all of the upcoming releases arriving on Steam during June and have bought together our highlights for you here.
During May we saw the likes of Redfall, LEGO 2K Drive, and System Shock turn up. Over the course of the next four weeks we've got the likes of Street Fighter 6, F1 23, and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective turning up. Of course other notable releases are also arriving this month, including Diablo IV — but that won't be available via Steam.
Our full list of our June Steam picks are below. Let's get to it!

Street Fighter 6
🗓️ Release: June 2
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: Seems to work
Capcom's long-running fighting series returns for another mainline entry.
Curious if Street Fighter 6 works on Steam Deck? Well, although Capcom have not yet marked the game as either 'playable' or 'verified', reports suggest that the game does in fact run on the Steam Deck. Those who tried the beta and the playable demo (which is still available) suggest that you may need to tweak some settings to get the best performance, but yup, it runs!
Bleak Sword DX
🗓️ Release: June 8
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: Verified
A rad looking 2D hack and slash roguelike that's "pure, thrilling, and wonderfully cruel".
This is a 'Deluxe' take on an Apple Arcade original that brings over its unique dark fantasy action to the PC. You fight your way through "compact, cursed diorama battlefields". Be sure to watch the trailer to truly appreciate the style here.
It's Steam Deck verified, and there is a demo available.

Dordogne
🗓️ Release: June 13
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: TBC
This is a beautiful looking narrative adventure game with a unique hand-painted watercolour visual style in which you "revisit your childhood to uncover lost family secrets" in what's described as a formative journey. Looks lovely - be sure to check out the trailer to see it in motion.
Park Beyond
🗓️ Release: June 15
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: TBC
As someone who loved the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games, and has sunk countless hours into other sims like Cities: Skylines, stuff like this has high appeal. Anyone having a stab at creating another theme park sim gets my attention. Park Beyond looks like a solid go at it.
Layers of Fear
🗓️ Release: June 15
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: TBC
The narrative-driven first-person psychological horror series returns to tell "its final spine-chilling story" in Layers of Fear.
F1 23

STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life
🗓️ Release: June 27
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: TBC
If you loved the old Harvest Moon games, then you'll want to pay attention. This is a 'reimaging' of the 2003 GameCube classic. Beyond the name change, which is all sorts of complicated, this new version looks to be a faithful fresh take on the farming sim. A charming slice of life game.
