Another Gamescom Opening Night Live has gone off with only one hitch, preceding a week of on-site demos from developers in Cologne, Germany. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the ONL show was a two hour event largely focused on gameplay and update trailers for already-announced or released games.

It was bookended by an appearance from Todd Howard to talk Starfield ahead of its launch next month and from Sam Lake to talk about also-incoming Alan Wake 2. In the middle was a mix of new trailers for games like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Payday 3 with some game announcements like Little Nightmares 3 and Killing Floor 3. 

Here's every announcement and trailer for games coming to PC from the Gamescom ONL show of 2023:
