The Buzz Around GTA 6: What Makes It the Most Anticipated Game of the Decade?
Rockstar has always set the bar high when it comes to open-world experiences, and GTA 6 is expected to push those boundaries even further. With an entirely new map that spans cities, countryside, and oceans, players will have the freedom to explore a living, breathing world that evolves with their actions.
What sets GTA 6 apart is not just its scale but its realism—improved NPC behavior, dynamic weather systems, and an AI ecosystem that adapts to your playstyle.
In a bold move, Rockstar is introducing a dual-protagonist structure, featuring a male and female lead—a first for the series. This opens up storytelling possibilities that are both emotionally rich and narratively complex. With voice acting, motion capture, and dialogue choices more advanced than ever, the player's decisions will shape the storyline in significant ways.
GTA 6 will reportedly include: Vehicle customization at a new level
First-person and third-person seamless switching
Interactive interiors in most buildings
Smartphone apps mimicking real-world services
These elements aim to blur the line between reality and the virtual world, delivering a truly immersive experience.
Although Rockstar has not revealed the exact day, the studio has confirmed that GTA 6 will be released in Fall 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC version is expected to follow later.

The Best Games of 2025 So Far, According to Critics
Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors We're officially past the halfway point of the year, and 2025 has been an incredible year for high-quality video games — though less so for the games industry itself, especially after Microsoft's mass layoffs in Xbox studios. 2025 has brought us a glut of incredible games from teams of all sizes and projects of all budgets — from tiny two-person teams to billion dollar mega blockbusters. With so many incredible games to play, it might be a bit of a struggle to pick out which ones are worth playing, which is why we've put together this list of the best games of 2025 so far. These rankings are decided by Metacritic, where an aggregate of review scores from professional critics is applied to each game, and the Metascore is listed next to the game's name in our list. We've also excluded remasters and re-releases, and picked the highest scoring platform for each game, as scores tend to shift a bit depending on the hardware it's being played on. 1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – 93 Maelle slashing at an enemy in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Maelle slashing at an enemy in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Sandfall Interactive Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an incredible turn-based RPG that's well deserving of the top spot on the list. A fantastic story is paired with a top-notch combat system and gorgeous artwork and execution to make a game that has to be seen to be believed. In our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review we called the game a phenomenal piece of art, and it really is. It's going to be hard to top this one. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC 2. Split Fiction – 93 Split Fiction is the latest game from Hazelight Studios, best known for its prior work on award-winning games like It Takes Two and A Way Out. Like those games, Split Fiction is an exclusively co-op affair, filled with a lovely story of overcoming differences, accepting the past, and embracing the future. You can play solo on a single screen in the same room, or use the free friend pass to play over the internet, which is also a huge plus. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC 3. Blue Prince – 92 Indie roguelike puzzle game Blue Prince was a surprise smash hit when it released earlier this year, nearly instantly taking over the free time of anyone who caught wind of it. It's a fascinating game that has players exploring a mansion that changes every day, which can be influenced by drafting certain cards and rooms. Just about everyone who played Blue Prince absolutely fell in love with it, so just be aware that if you pick it up, you may lose weeks of your life to it. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC 4. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach – 90 Hideo Kojima and the team at Kojima Productions have done it again. Death Stranding 2 is a sight to behold, and it's one of the best-looking games on the PS5. It's got a bonkers story, as you'd expect from Kojima, and a whole host of gameplay improvements over the first game, and both make it worth checking out, even if you weren't super keen on the first game. Available on: PS5 5. Monster Hunter Wilds – 90 The Monster Hunter series has been rapidly growing in popularity since the release of Monster Hunter World back in 2018. Monster Hunter Wilds took the lessons learned from World and its follow-up Monster Hunter Rise to create a story-driven, fast-paced game with some of the best combat in the series' history. Some players have been mixed on the game's difficulty – or lack thereof – and PC optimization could certainly be better, but nobody has any complaints about the gameplay itself. It's phenomenal. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC 6. Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector – 90 Citizen Sleeper was a huge leap forward for the RPG genre, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector took it even further. It's filled with tension, incredible world-building and character writing, and a whisper of tabletop gaming that made it feel both familiar and fresh. It's best played after its predecessor, and there's no better opportunity to play both games than right now. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC 7. Despelote – 89 Despelote came out of seemingly nowhere to become one of the most fascinating and beautiful games of the year. It's an autobiographical slice-of-life adventure game set in Ecuador in 2002 when the country qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. As a player you'll explore the city through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy, connecting with others and yourself through soccer, video games, and shared national pride. It's got an entirely unique art style that captures the fuzzy memories of a simpler life, and you owe it to yourself to play it. Available on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC 8. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – 88 As much a medieval life simulator as it is a video game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes a system-heavy, immersive approach to storytelling and gameplay. You'll step back into the shoes of Henry of Skalitz, who'll need to fulfil the role of a soldier, a spy, a blacksmith, or so much more to make his way through medieval Bohemia. It's an incredibly ambitious game that sticks the landing more often than not, and it's been highly praised by press and critics alike. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC 9. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo – 88 Pipistrello is a delightful indie game from Brazil that is heavily inspired by some of the best games of yesteryear, including The Legend of Zelda. It's got some gorgeous pixel art, a great mix of puzzling and adventure exploration, and a brilliant soundtrack featuring a guest track from Kingdom Hearts composer Yoko Shimomura. If you miss adventure games from the GBA era, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is for you. Available on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC 10. Monster Train 2 – 87 Sometimes you just need a rock-solid deck-building roguelike to get you through the day, and Monster Train 2 does exactly that, building on the incredible foundation that the first Monster Train laid. There's a truckload of new content, some incredible tweaks to the first game's formula, fantastic quality of life additions, in addition to everything people loved about the first game. Some fans are calling it the greatest deck-building roguelike of all time, and it's not hard to see why. Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC

12 Years After Launch, GTA V Is Finally Arriving In Two More Countries
Grand Theft Auto V was released worldwide in 2013. However, Rockstar's massively popular open-world crime sim never officially launched in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. That is finally changing later this month, and could be good news for gamers in those countries excited to play Grand Theft Auto 6 next year. On July 3, the General Authority of Media Regulation in Saudi Arabia posted on Twitter that GTA V and Grand Theft Auto Online had both been officially rated by the organization. Both games will be available to buy and play in Saudi Arabia on July 17. The official PlayStation Middle East account also confirmed that GTA V and GTA Online would launch on the same day in the UAE. 'Enjoy the experience of the famous game Grand Theft Auto V & Grand Theft Auto Online, rated 21 and above,' posted the account, according to Google Translate. The 21+ rating is higher than those the game has received in most other countries and is roughly (but not exactly) equivalent to the ESRB's AO (Adults Only) rating. Still, it means that for the first time ever, gamers of appropriate age will be able to officially purchase GTA V and its online multiplayer spin-off in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in about two weeks. Previously, players in these countries had to use workarounds, like importing physical copies of Grand Theft Auto V from other countries or creating fake accounts located in different regions for digital storefronts. Now, the full GTA V experience will be available without players having to jump through such hoops. For gamers in this part of the world, this news is also exciting because it might be a good sign that Grand Theft Auto 6 won't be delayed for years in the region due to rating classification issues. It might even launch in May 2026, like it's set to everywhere else, following a delay earlier this year. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
