I don't know about you, but losing myself in a video game for a couple hours is my meditation. Whether its a classic Final Fantasy game from Square Enix, the DIY apocalypse that is Bethesda's Fallout, or the competition between friends (and the computer) with Mario Kart 8, that is my safe place. Even an analytical game like Civilization VI can get me to a better place. That's why I'm excited about all the new & upcoming games in 2025 and beyond.

Whether you're a die-hard Xbox user, a longtime Playstation groupie, or you bleed Nintendo, there's a lot to look forward to for new games this year. Here is a list of all the major game release dates for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC. Tell us which one you're most excited for in the comments - or just to point out one we're missing (hey, things happen fast in the gaming world).
