What are the best dragon games on PC? Since long before the days of Dungeons and Dragons and before Tolkien became the poster boy of fantasy, dragons have been the most fearsome and majestic creatures of myth. Usually, they breathe fire and hoard gold; other times, they become companions and deign to be ridden, and more often than not, they get mistaken for wyverns.

PC games, and the best RPGs in particular, are naturally swarming with dragons and dragon-like creatures, both as friends and foes. We’ve collected some of the best dragon games on PC, like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where you can encounter, battle, or befriend a dragon, including entries from multiplayer games or MMORPGs. Given that dragons can’t often be taken down by a single adventurer (looking at you, Dragonborn), it makes sense that plenty of games that look to tackle dragons do so at the epic proportions of hundreds of players joining together to defeat them. Here are the best dragon games you’ll want to try if you want to take on these mythical monsters. We’re kicking off with some free-to-play before we get stuck into AAA titles.
