After another year of will-they-won't-they game release dates and delays, 2024 is done and dusted. Now it's all about 2025—new year, new you—and the upcoming game release calendar is an awfully packed one already.
If you're looking to plan out your calendar with all of 2025's upcoming games, we can help with the scheduling part. We're tracking all the new games of 2025 that you'll want to know about as they announce release dates and then (inevitably) as some of those release dates get delayed.
The biggest games of 2025
What's the forecast for the new games of 2025?
There's no doubt that 2025 feels like one of the biggest years for gaming in recent memory. As with the last few years, the beginning of 2025 is the beneficiary of at least one pretty big RPG delay that scooted into the new year to avoid crowding the last. Avowed wound up with a February 2025 release date where it's—well, actually now it's just sandwiched by some other really big releases in February like Civilization 7 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Fortunately for those busy schedules, an Assassin's Creed Shadows delay pushed Ubisoft's game further into March. Keep this page bookmarked to find out if anyone else chickens out of that gridlock of a release month.
In 2025, GTA 6 will likely be the biggest release of the year. Though it doesn't have a release date yet, Rockstar is targeting 2025. As for whether we'll be playing it on PC this year well we aren't holding our breath. Beyond the next major Rockstar release, 2025 is already stuffed full of other long-awaited sequels in major game series. It feels a lot more like 2023: the summer that brought us Diablo 4, Baldur's Gate 3, and Starfield all right on top of each other. Here's a quick reference of the biggest games launching in 2025:
