In this article, we will take a look at all the confirmed video games that are going to be released in 2025, including GTA 6.
Video game releases in 2023 saw some very historic releases. Some of the greatest video games ever launched in a matter of months including much-anticipated sequels like:
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- Alan Wake 2
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Lies of P
- Sea of Stars
- Dredge
Even though it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the previous year, 2024 still has a good number of excellent games. Games like Palworld and Helldivers 2 are sweeping the globe.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revives a long-dormant franchise, and Tekken 8, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 demonstrate the progression of their respective franchises.
But even taking all of that into consideration, 2025 is already set to completely eclipse 2024 in terms of significant video game releases.
More than fifty popular video games have already been confirmed for release in 2025. Eleven of the biggest and most anticipated forthcoming releases are included in this list.

2025 is looking considerably brighter and livelier for the video game business after a poor year — if only because Nintendo promises to provide a successor to the massively popular Switch and a tonne of new games to debut alongside it, while Rockstar Games aims to release Grand Theft Auto 6.
Not all of the eagerly awaited sequels are set to release in 2025. Gamers can also anticipate the following games to be released in 2026:
- Fable
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A
- Sid Meier’s Civilisation 7
- Death Stranding 2
- Doom: The Dark Ages, and
- Slay the Spire 2.
In addition to sequels, some other high-profile projects are scheduled for release in 2025. It includes Judas, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Riot’s fighting game 2XKO, and South of Midnight. Let’s just say that this year is going to be really, really significant right now.
Though release dates for video games are always subject to change, Polygon’s guide to the upcoming games in 2025 will be updated frequently with new titles, dates, and (inevitably) delays.
