While Rockstar’s ‘GTA 6’ is the big release that literally everyone is waiting for in 2025, there is still much more on the calendar. If 2024 felt like a year without a major gaming release, then fear not, 2025 has undoubtedly the biggest game on its calendar – Grand Theft Auto 6.

Here are some of 2025’s gaming highlights to look forward to across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, with some rumours thrown in for good measure. An Xbox console exclusive, Avowed has been described as a ‘thoroughly old-fashioned’ RP and has been delayed from 2024 to 18 February 2025. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment – the studio behind Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and The Outer Worlds – Avowed is set in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity and can be played in both first-person and third-person perspective. It will feature a combination of melee and magic combat against men and beasts, so yes, think Skyrim.

2018’s Monster Hunter World was a major breakthrough for Capcom’s RPG series and introduced the title to a whole host of new players. Wilds looks set to continue the trend as the forthcoming release collected a whole heap of trophies at the Gamescom awards including Best Trailer, Most Epic and Most Entertaining. Monster Hunter Wilds arrives on 28 February 2025 for Xbox, PS5 and Steam.

It’s been over four years since the last huge mainline Assassin’s Creed game - Valhalla was released in November 2020 just as the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles launched. In late 2023 Assassin’s Creed: Mirage arrived as its own standalone game after it was scrapped as a Valhalla DLC but the title was overlooked by many.
