The Game Awards 2025 is LIVE with Geoff Keighley and a host of beloved industry veterans for yet another annual celebration of this year's most influential video games, studios and creators. As always, we will be covering each and every announcement, award, and world premiere right here on Gaming.net. Stay tuned for more!

Horror hits harder when it messes with your mind more than jumpscares. Psychological horror games don't just scare, they stay with you.

Klei is heading back into the wilderness, and yeah, my survival brain is already packing twigs, flint, berries, and pure panic.

007: First Light brought back the excitement of cinematic spy action in a way gaming had been missing for a long time. Slick stealth mechanics, gripping hand-to-hand combat, dramatic set-pieces, and a strong narrative all wrapped inside an open-ended design set a very high bar for the genre. If you have already finished it and want more of that same rush, you are in the right place.

If you have been screaming into the void for an Until Dawn sequel since 2015, the wait is finally over. Sony officially made the announcement during the PlayStation State of Play on June 2, 2026. Until Dawn 2 is real, it is confirmed, and it is coming to PS5 in 2027. Eleven years of waiting, and we are here.

If you grew up in the late '90s, chances are you spent hours glued to a CRT television with a DualShock controller in your hands. Sony's original PlayStation changed everything, from how we experienced 3D worlds to how stories could be told through a console. And looking back, the library of games on this console was stacked with absolute legends.

Rockstar Games just dropped 26 minutes of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay on Netflix , and I still can't believe how much they packed into it. After 13 years of waiting, two trailers, a week of CyberLeek drama, and enough fan theories to fill a library, the GTA VI Extended Look finally gave us a proper taste of what's coming on November 19, 2026. And it was worth every second of that wait.

DCKO has been generating massive buzz across the mobile gaming space, and I can see why. It's a free-to-play mobile fighter set in the DC universe, officially licensed by Warner Bros., and it brings together iconic characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Constantine, and Nightwing into one roster. The game is being built by a team of veteran developers who previously worked on one of the most successful mobile fighters ever made, so the pedigree behind it is strong.

The PlayStation 2 moved over 155 million units across its lifetime, and it still holds the record for the highest-selling console ever made. With close to 4,000 games released between 2000 and 2007, the library is massive. And I mean genuinely stacked with heavy hitters across every genre. I've spent a ridiculous amount of time with the PlayStation 2, and narrowing it down to ten feels like picking favorites among your own memories.
