We are all quickly saying adieu to 2024 to usher in a new year. The past 12-months have been full of excellent games such as Helldivers 2, Astro Bot, and Metaphor ReFantazio, and the next 12-months should be even better considering everything currently scheduled to come out. The January 2025 video game releases are perfect for PC players as they finally get to experience two of the best recent PS5 console exclusives, meanwhile, there are more Star Wars adventures.
There are a lot of amazing games to anticipate next year. Arguably the most hyped game of all time, GTA 6, is still currently scheduled to come out in 2025, meanwhile, we only have to wait until the beginning of February to finally get our hands on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. There’s also Monster Hunter Wilds to anticipate as well as the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei.
Gamers have even more massive titles to anticipate, but it’s always possible delays can occur. While there could be unfortunate delays throughout the year, right now the January 2025 video game releases are set-in-stone, and PC players have two juggernauts to enjoy along with more adventures set in a galaxy far, far away.
