Games Coming Out In October 2025 That You Should Be Excited For

After a busy September, we arrive at a possibly even busier October – the holiday bells are ringing as we’re truly entering the “holiday period” of game releases.

With each of the big three contributing significantly to the month’s releases, I’d be amazed if there wasn’t something that speaks to you, our reader. PlayStation’s tentpole release of the year, and successor to the decorated Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei kicks things off while Double Fine’s next title, Keeper, tides gamers over mid-month ahead of The Outer Worlds 2.

And as someone headed overseas and who’s back on his Pokémon Go bullshit, I’ve got a sudden urge to catch ’em all, all over again, so, of course,  Nintendo’s Pokémon Legends Z-A is speaking to me.

Let’s see what October has to offer for video gamers.
