Competitive games—the real-world type, not the esports type—have been with humankind nearly since the beginning. They’ve served as entertainment, much-need distraction from the daily grind, and a spark for social change. As technology’s advanced, sports have expanded from playgrounds and stadiums to television and video games. The PC may not be the first place to go when you’re in the mood to play a sports game. After all, the platform lacks the popular MLB The Show titles and NHL games of any sort. The platform does have the FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA 2K games, but we haven’t included their latest versions here because they’re either buggy or ho-hum affairs. Still, there are plenty of quality sports-based PC games, particularly if you don’t care about realism or league licenses. These are our favorites.
