Games of January 2025
The new year is here and that means new games to enjoy across 2025 and there are a LOT of big ones coming. But before we get to far ahead of ourselves, we need to look at the games coming in January and there are a good number of them.
This month will see some more remasters with Freedom Wars, Donkey Kong and Tales of Graces all getting a second shot at live, but there are also new entries in beloved series like Dynasty Warriors and Sniper Elite. Plus PC fans getting spoilt with two amazing games Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
