2025 has been a big year for new video games, even games that have not been released yet. Now with new technology, ways to build and play games have become easier with every passing year—occasionally with every month. Here are some of the most liked video games of the year and descriptions of these games.
- Borderlands 4: This big hit in 2025 is an action adventure. Being a first-person shooter, you are a customizable character; also you now get customizable weapons with brand new skins, and blueprints have been added. You must explore the ominous land of Kairos, a place full of loot and havoc.
- Doom: The Dark Ages: In this prequel of the Doom series, you are in an evil dimension that is filled with demons, monsters, and bosses. This game brings adventure with a darker twist at the beginning of your character’s story.
- Grand Theft Auto VI (Unreleased): In this game, you are multiple characters with the objective to break laws and gain money to buy vehicles, houses, weapons, and more. There are two different modes: the story mode, which is the one where you play as multiple characters; and the multiplayer, where you play with others online with your own character. This game is supposedly going to break records that aren’t thought possible; in fact, the game developers are promising so much that they had to delay the game from this year to 2026.
Those are some of the most popular newly released—or soon expected—games of the year. Who knows if these games will maintain their popularity? Only time will tell.
