The 10 Best PC Games That Aren’t On Steam

It’s easy to see why so many people rely on Steam as their primary source for gaming. With a staggering 781 million games available, Steam is the most popular site to download video games. But plenty of the best PC games around aren’t available on Steam. If that’s the only place you get your games, you’re missing out. Here are the 10 best PC games that aren’t on Steam.

Mass Effect 3

When Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 came out they launched on multiple consoles as well as on the PC. But then, EA purchased Mass Effect’s developer Bioware, and launched its own platform, Origin. If you want to play a PC version of Mass Effect 3, you have to purchase it there. This also means if you want all your Mass Effect games on the same PC platform, you have to get them all on Origin.

Minecraft

Ever since its creation in 2011 there has only been one way to purchase Minecraft on the PC. When it was owned by Mojang, you could buy Minecraft through their website. Since the game was bought by Microsoft, you can now only pick it up through their store. Minecraft: Story Mode is available on Steam as well as consoles like the Wii U, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the original and widely beloved world-building game itself remains a PC exclusive.
