If you didn't already know, our Game of the Year coverage is underway behind the scenes here at Push Square. We're busy writing up our own personal articles, and we're putting the finishing touches on our staff and community voted awards.
But we need your help deciding a different award — an award that looks into the future, rather than the past. We are, of course, talking about the most anticipated PS5 games of 2025.
Now that we've whet your appetite, we want to know which PS5 games you're most looking forward to in 2025.
We need you to select up to five games in our poll. The top ten most popular picks will then be featured in a Most Anticipated PS5 Games article over the holidays — so choose wisely!
Please note that only games with an official '2025' release window are included in this poll.
Voting closes at midnight (GMT) on Friday the 20th December.
So, get voting, and then tell us all about your picks in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.
Sorry about that everyone, we've had to replace the poll because it was missing some obvious games. That's out fault for not keeping the database updated properly!
We've republished the article and the poll, but unfortunately that means we'll have to start over. Apologies if you've already voted and you're only just now seeing this message.
The good news is we only had around one hour's worth of votes, so I'm sure we'll get back to that number again soon.
Thanks to everyone who does vote (potentially for the second time!).
Monster Hunter Wilds
Borderlands 4
Trails Through Daybreak 2
Ghost of Yotei
The Outer Worlds 2
Next year is hopefully going to be as good as this year and hopefully we finally see some big JRPG's get reveals/trailers like Kingdom Hearts 4, Persona 6 and Dragon Quest 12. GTA 6 will hopefully launch next year as well and to top it off we have the Switch 2, seriously looking forward to what 2025 brings.
Monster Hunter is the big one for me. And now that I've played Death Stranding and loved it. DS2 is my next most anticipated. The rest on that list are just remasters lol. Lunar, Suikoden and Tales of Graces
I like gta well enough but they've never been my favorite games
I'm still holding out hope that my most anticipated game since ME3, Exodus, comes out some time next year, but since there's no release date, it's not on the list (gameplay reveal trailer dropped just today; sad that it wasn't mentioned on the site).
So, I went for Clair, Crimson Desert, Yotei, Indy and Marvel. Tried and gave up on GTAV no less than three times and couldn't get past the loathsome characters, so GTAVI isn't really high on my list.

I would rather play the new mafia then Grand Theft Auto rockstar not the same as they used to be and the way they are milking the last Grand Theft Auto game to death they have shown their true colours
Amazing lineup, something for everyone. The great thing about gaming is that no one can dictate what games we personally enjoy. You love a generally unfavorable title, go right ahead. You dislike a critical darling, that's no problem whatsoever. Popularity contests only matters if you let it.
May 2025 deliver hours upon hours of entertainment to us all. 🎮
Actually, there isn't much i want next year.
Will get trails through daybreak 2.
I am interested in Armed Fantasia but i doubt it will come out next year.
There is the capcom fighting collection 2 and Suikoden hd, xenoblade x remastered. But i'm not in a hurry to get them.
Might be able to save up next year. Depends on the switch 2.
I guess there is metroid prime 4 coming too and i may give crimson desert a go since it's such a slow year.
I listed GTA6, Mafia, Borderlands 4, and Indiana Jones. From not on the list I add Dying Light The Beast as my 5th pick. I'm going to finally purchase a PS5. With the new games, and yet to play games I have waited to play on a PS5, 2025-26 looks to be great gaming years for me.
2025 looking like a great year for games, even if GTA 6 doesn't make it. Ghost of Yotei and DS2 for Sony will be the standouts. It's unfortunate there is a least 10+ games I want day 1 on this list on top of what I mentioned.
I am interested in Ghost of Yotei and Mafia games. That's for sure. I am just playing Mafia 1 on PC now and I will replay Ghost of Tsushima on Christmas Day.
I am not sure about the next GTA. I loved the first and third games but I didn't touch the fourth or fifth games. I guess I hold back to see if it is going to be pay-to-win, subscription-based, or any animal.
I am curious about Civilization 7 too, but most likely focus on my first two choices.

Just Expedition 33 and Trails through Daybreak 2 for me. I wouldn't mind a light year of releases - I have some catching up to do!
I voted for,
Monster Hunter Wilds
Borderlands 4
Trails Through Daybreak 2
Ghost of Yotei
The Outer Worlds 2

GTA VI is the big one.
Surprised that GTA 6 isn't winning by a large margin at this point!
Sniper Elite Resistance is by far and away my number one as SE5 was my GotY when it launched in 2022.
Also on my top 5 is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Ghost of Yotei, Atomfall, and I'm not surprised it's not listed, but Roadcraft.
Monster Hunter is the big one for me. And now that I've played Death Stranding and loved it. DS2 is my next most anticipated. The rest on that list are just remasters lol. Lunar, Suikoden and Tales of Graces

Ender magnolia 😎 and the momodora game that came out on pc think is next year for consoles not on list though 😥
Surely silksong is Gunna be 2025 too ðŸ˜
Some killer apps coming in 2025, but Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is my numero uno!

@ShogunRok lol I was wondering how I ended up so high in the comments. I don’t post here enough for that to happen.
Hard to keep it down to 5 but in order:
Death Stranding 2
GTA VI
Ghost of Yotei
MGS Delta
Borderlands 4
Struggled to pick only 5. 2025 is stacked.
Grand theft auto 6.assasins creed shadows.ghost of yotei.monster hunter wilds.mafia the old country.crimsondezert.clair obscur expedition 33.yakuza pirate in Hawaii.kingdom come deliverance 2.doom the dark ages etc.2 many PlayStation Video games.good times.word up son
I'll be honest, for the most part that is a pretty depressing list.
The Precinct is the one I'm most excited for though, small studio with some fresh ideas.
Ghost of Yotei
DS2 On the Beach
MGS Delta
GTA6
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Mafia The Old Country too and a few others?
Pretty much all of the JRPGS!
I would rather play the new mafia then Grand Theft Auto rockstar not the same as they used to be and the way they are milking the last Grand Theft Auto game to death they have shown their true colours
KCD2
GTA6
Ghost of Yotei
AC Shadows
Mafia
Death Stranding
Crimson Desert
I mean, 2025 is literally insane, and I've missed a bunch i'll probably also like off that shortlist
I voted:
DEATH STRANDING 2
DOOM
GTA VI
YOTEI
MAFIA
A lot of other games there that have my interest but maybe wait for a review.

@SterlingEyes I'm actually quite impressed the readership of this site have diverse tastes and don't just go for the money shot 😃

My most anticipated are
1. GTA 6
2.Split Fiction
3)Marvel 1943
4) AC: Shadows
5) Monster Hunter Wilds
I'm fine with only playing these handful in all of 2025. Shame that none on my list are PS exclusives. Sony really is running dry.
2025 looking like a great year for games, even if GTA 6 doesn't make it. Ghost of Yotei and DS2 for Sony will be the standouts. It's unfortunate there is a least 10+ games I want day 1 on this list on top of what I mentioned.
It’s close with a little over 2000 votes, but I am really surprised (and pleased) to see Ghost of Yotei with a slight lead over GTA6.
I am interested in Ghost of Yotei and Mafia games. That's for sure.
I am just playing Mafia 1 on PC now and I will replay Ghost of Tsushima on Christmas Day.
I am not sure about the next GTA. I loved the first and third games but I didn't touch the fourth or fifth games. I guess I hold back to see if it is going to be pay-to-win, subscription-based, or any animal.

In no particular order:
Ghost of Yotei
The Dark Pictures Anthology*: Directive 8020
Judas
Borderlands 4
Split Fiction
*A very underrated series.
GHOST
SHADOWS
ELDEN RING
