Over the past couple years, we’ve seen Microsoft bring over a select number of first-party Xbox titles to both PlayStation and the Nintendo Switch. Despite Indiana Jones and the Great Circle; DOOM The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon 5 all slated for a PS5 launch this year, one insider has claimed that there are “a lot more” titles planned to be ported in 2025 alone.

Despite being an already solid upgrade, the PS5 Pro version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will get further enhancements in a future update.

God of War’s 20th anniversary has officially come and gone, and while we did get a couple cool new things in celebration, the rumoured remaster for the OG trilogy was nowhere to be seen.

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.

Avowed marks the biggest first-party Xbox game for 2025 so far, with the Obsidian Entertainment-developed RPG arriving on Microsoft’s console (and PC) just under a month ago. Being Microsoft, the company rarely shares sales figures for its games. That being said, according to the game’s director, the higher-ups at Xbox are “happy” with Avowed’s player numbers.

Back in January after years of leaks, rumours and speculation, the Switch 2 was officially unveiled. That said, we still know relatively little about Nintendo’s upcoming sequel system.
