Since the start of the year, both AAA teams and small studios have delivered hit after hit to gamers around the world. If we’ve learned anything from player data, virality, and sales figures in 2025, it’s that independent developers can hang with — and outperform — longstanding AAA teams and their bloated budgets. From first-person shooters and open-world RPGs to pixel-art platformers and head-scratching puzzles, gamers’ 2025 release calendars were jam-packed with launch dates. We’re still two months away from singing “Auld Lang Syne,” but the PC gaming hits keep coming. These new games, all scheduled for release on Steam in November 2025, are no exception.
