2025 is already shaping up to be a year packed with incredible gaming experiences across all platforms. One of the most eagerly awaited releases is Elden Ring: The Eternal Cycle.

Starfield was a smash hit upon its initial release, but the first DLC expansion, Starfield: Dark Horizons, is set to push the boundaries even further in 2025. With an emphasis on deep space exploration and the discovery of lost civilizations, this expansion will give players even more tools to craft their own journeys among the stars. As a space-faring RPG, it already boasts complex character progression, but this expansion will deepen the story and bring even more customization options to enhance your experience.
Finally, Red Dead Redemption 3 promises to continue Rockstar’s legendary open-world legacy.
