To Be Announced
While there are plenty of games already slated to release in 2025, there are plenty more that don't yet have concrete release dates. While there are a lot of things that affect when game's come out, GTA 6 is the big elephant in the room that a lot of publishers are keeping an eye out for.
Put simply, GTA 6 is going to be a mammoth release. When it finally hits consoles, it's all anyone is going to be buying, playing and talking about for weeks on end.
For that reason, it makes sense that publishers hold back their games for as long as possible to avoid releasing around the same time as GTA 6. That's why you'll see plenty of games slated for the first half of 2025, with the second half looking incredibly bare.
I'll continue to update this list as more games get concrete release dates. For now, here are the games that have vague 2025 release windows:
