I’m starting to feel like Charlie Brown from The Peanuts comics, and Microsoft is the Lucy who keeps pulling the football away right as I go to kick it. Every year I write this feature, and every year I say that this looks like The Year™ where everything comes together for Xbox. Last year , in fact, I specifically said, “Looking ahead to 2024, that positive momentum looks set to continue and, with any luck, snowball.” Microsoft arguably didn’t live up to that for the first 10.5 months of the year, with only the visually-full-but-gameplay-empty Hellblade 2 dropping in May after many years of waiting. But to the big-spending publisher’s credit, it did end the year extremely strong, dropping three exclusive bangers in a row: STALKER 2 , Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 , and my personal vote for Game of the Year in 2024 and the game that I think is the best Xbox exclusive in years , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle . So, can Microsoft keep that positive end-of-2024 momentum going into...

2024 was a bit of a bumpy road for PlayStation. Things started out well with the surprise success of Helldivers 2 , the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth , and the slick action duo of Stellar Blade and Black Myth: Wukong . But things took a downward turn in the summer thanks to Concord’s (failure to) launch. The doomed hero shooter and subsequent closing of developer Firewalk Studios was certainly a low point for Sony, even if a delightful little robot did his best to brighten the mood in the fantastic Astro Bot . Since then we’ve seen the arrival of the PS5 Pro , an even more powerful PlayStation 5 console that comes at an eye-wateringly premium price and has been met with a mixed reception. But with time ticking away, there’s barely time left in 2024 to dwell on PlayStation’s past. It already feels like time to look ahead to 2025. So what does the upcoming year have in store for PlayStation? With almost all of its first-party studios keeping cards close to chests, yo...

Soon it will be 2025, also known as the year Nintendo finally pulls back the curtain on its next console. After 2024 was filled with shaky rumors, alleged leaks, and nonstop speculation about the Nintendo Switch successor, we know for a fact Nintendo will share more about the next generation in less than 100 days. If that’s not exciting enough for you, the Nintendo Switch still has a few cards up its sleeve and 2025 will finally see the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, eight years after its initial announcement. And, as always, there will surely be some surprises along the way, with some possibly tied to a certain plumber’s 40th anniversary. Here’s what to expect from Nintendo in 2025. Nintendo in 2025: What’s Already On the Books Before we get into Switch 2, let’s recap what we already know is coming to Switch in 2025.
