Here are the best upcoming games releases  magic138 login for you to look forward to in 2025, including games for PS5, Xbox Series X

You get more performance, a bigger and sharper screen, Joy-Con 2 controllers that now magnetically attach and support mouse controls for exciting possibilities in shooters and real-time strategy games, and GameChat video and voice communications. The Switch 2 hardware is iterative—a specs bump—but it’ll also be the exclusive platform for Nintendo’s biggest and most recognizable gaming franchises. If you want to play Nintendo’s latest and greatest titles, like the now-available Mario Kart World or the upcoming Donkey Kong Bananza, the Switch 2 is the only option, even if you have a PS5 or Xbox Series S/X. There’s no question that this is a great game, but the problem is that this is not the ideal way to experience it.

This expansion is so big it practically feels like a sequel. Nintendo will sell consoles because fans can’t get enough of its exclusive games. At the time of this writing—two weeks after launch—all signs already point to the Switch 2 being a mega mushroom-sized success. People worldwide turned up on launch day in record numbers—many even attending midnight launches—to buy Nintendo’s new game system. Nintendo’s already shattered global sales records with over 3.5 million Switch 2 units sold within its first four days of going on sale.

To a T is weird to its bones, and it’s clear Uvula takes great pride in that. The whole thing is nebulous by design, and isn’t so much a grand gesture of positivity as it is an ode to the little quirks you love almost without realizing. I love, for instance, the way Teen’s umbrella is slightly wider than his mother’s to account for being held at arm’s reach. That might not sound like the sort of profundity a recommendation could hinge upon, but if you like rain for the same reason I do – the warmth and contentment it brings when you’re on the inside looking out – then perhaps you’ll get it.

The cursor on menus and in games is responsive and quick, plus games like Cyberpunk 2077 offer a multitude of options for deadzones and cursor speed. Most people won’t find their hand can fully relax on top of a rigid Joy-Con 2 without room for the rest of their fingers. Rematch proves that switching to more of an action game perspective can really work for a football game. The controls will take a little bit of getting used to, but the game really captures that feeling of playing a small-sided football match in real life. While Square Enix has already announced that Final Fantasy 7 Remake is coming to the Switch 2 their only launch game is this considerably lower profile remaster. To be clear, these last few games we didn’t chase up for review copies, because we knew they’d be low priority, and we didn’t have time to look properly at them.

There’s always the challenge of knowing when to detonate them to take out the most enemies, but that’s the same thing we’ve been doing for decades, so while it’s effective, it doesn’t make Outlaws’ combat stand out. Furry friend Nix is vital to Outlaws’ stealth mechanics, as he’s basically a space cat drone who functions like a Watch Dogs phone. The game cites influences front and center complete with a bibliography in the first few pages.

Outside, 11 Bit flexes its art chops with considerable verve. Gnarled, tree-like rock formations curl across the arid terrain; matter swirls within shimmering physics-defying anomalies; a vast cosmic sea churns menacingly. Now this one we have played, for the obvious reason that it’s free-to-play. Maybe it’s just how the algorithm has us pegged but we’ve seen more advertising for Fortnite on Switch 2 than anything from Nintendo – and not without reason. The game runs extremely well on Nintendo’s new console and the demographic for the two must match up exactly.

Pitch Hitting—a Designer’s Experience Of Essen Spiel

Not necessarily the worst game Nintendo has ever made but certainly the dullest. This well meaning interactive exhibit describes, in painstaking detail, what the Switch 2 can do and how it works. This can be quite interesting but the minimalist presentation and thoroughly un-entertaining mini-games make it a slog to get through, even if it is very cheap. Split Fiction is the newest game from the co-op masterminds at Hazelight Studios, a two-player adventure through the many stories of two authors trapped in worlds of their own creation. South of Midnight delights with its looks and soundtrack, which is much better than anyone could expect. It’s a shame, though, that aesthetic experience isn’t followed by equally great gameplay.

Packed with new tracks and modes, it’s another Mario Kart you’ll want to own. Gorgeous, fast-paced and exhilarating, we’ve had a fantastic time playing through this Lost in Random roguelike spin-off. Captain Blood may seem like a nice throwback to hack and slash games of the past, but it really feels like an outdated experience in 2025. While there’s a lot to love about Sifu developer Sloclap’s new multiplayer soccer game Rematch, it scores a few own goals.

So long as there’s no drought of big game releases—like there were in the dark GameCube and Wii U days—Nintendo may just “1-Up” itself with the Switch 2. Nintendo wanted GameChat to be such a defining feature on Switch 2 that it put a “C” button on all its first-party controllers. The button allows you to quickly send or receive calls and change video settings without going to the main menu. You can only send calls to friends over Switch Online, and you need to provide a phone number when you first try the feature.
