It feels like we keep saying this every year, but 2025 really was one of the best years in gaming. We got to experience a wide variety of amazing titles, from epic single-player adventures such as Ghost of Yōtei, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, to addictive indie hits like Megabonk, Blue Prince, and Ball x Pit. We also saw new entries in storied franchises, such as Monster Hunter Wilds, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Borderlands 4, and Dying Light: The Beast.
The Switch 2 also released, bringing us Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, to name a few. Co-op gaming has never been better, with games like Split Fiction and Elden Ring Nightreign leading the charge. Personally, I was extremely excited that Final Fantasy Tactics got a modern remaster and AdHoc Studio knocked it out of the park with Dispatch.
While there aren’t as many major titles already announced for 2026, the schedule is still packed with some highly anticipated games, many of which already have confirmed release dates. The biggest question remains: Will Grand Theft Auto VI actually release?
