The long-expected news has landed: GTA 6 is delayed. Initially set for a 2025 release, the highly awaited title is now slated for May 26, 2026.
Yet, 2025 promises to be far from a letdown for gamers. This year has already delivered stellar titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Blue Prince, and Split Fiction, with many more on the way. From Ghost of Yotei for samurai enthusiasts to Borderlands 4 for co-op thrills, and a new Nintendo console with its lineup, there’s plenty to dive into.
Here’s a rundown of what 2025 has in store beyond Grand Theft Auto 6.
With GTA 6 originally planned for later in 2025, your gaming schedule for the next few months is likely open. But fear not—major releases are just around the corner. Doom: The Dark Ages hits Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC on May 15, offering a gripping, gothic twist on the classic shooter. Soon after, Souls fans can jump into Elden Ring Nightreign on May 30 for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. This co-op roguelike ventures into fresh territory for FromSoft, promising a faster-paced take that could dominate your multiplayer sessions.
In June, buckle up for Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, launching exclusively on PS5 on June 26. Its trailers tease bold, bizarre concepts, set to outshine its delivery-sim predecessor. Meanwhile, Dune: Awakening arrives on PC on June 10—mind the sandworms and stay hydrated.
With GTA 6 delayed, the spotlight shifts to the Nintendo Switch 2, launching June 5 alongside its flagship title, Mario Kart World. Also dropping that day are enhanced Switch 2 versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, boasting improved resolutions and frame rates. The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour offers a mini-game tutorial, joined by third-party hits like Hogwarts Legacy, Spit Fiction, Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Cyberpunk 2077, and Fortnite.
July brings Donkey Kong Bananza on July 17, a vibrant 3D platformer for Switch 2. Later, expect Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, set to launch across platforms.
The year’s end will bring a wave of blockbusters for the holiday season. Expect a new Call of Duty and EA Sports FC 26 to drop as Christmas nears.
September kicks off with two major shooters: Borderlands 4 on September 12, promising even wilder loot, and Marathon on September 23, an extraction shooter from the Destiny creators that’s generating buzz.
On October 2, PlayStation’s Ghost of Yotei delivers a gripping tale of vengeance against masked samurai, perfect for fans craving more after Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Other exciting titles, like The Outer Worlds 2 and Crimson Desert, are also expected to land in late 2025, though exact dates are pending.
Plenty more awaits. Check out our timeline of the biggest games confirmed for the rest of 2025.
