Some games are set to release in the first quarter of 2025, from January to March, while others won't be released until later in the year. Even more have yet to have a confirmed release date but are expected at some point throughout the year. Meanwhile, some games won't even be announced until the year kicks off, but the confirmed 2025 action games are enough to hold players over.

Sadly, there are no confirmed action game releases for Q3 and Q4 2025, meaning players must wait for surprise announcements during events like The Game Awards. There are always indie titles or updates to ongoing live-service games to fill the latter half of the year. In addition, there are still unconfirmed releases to look forward to, which could arrive at any point throughout 2025, including in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
