Grand Theft Auto 6 is still set for release in fall 2025, parent company Take-Two has insisted.
Reporting its third quarter ending December 31, 2024 financial results, the Rockstar owner listed GTA 6 for fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. It means that for now at least, GTA 6 is still on track for its previously announced release window and has not been delayed.
Speaking to IGN ahead of the release of its financial report, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that while “there’s always a risk of slippage,” the company “feel really good about it [fall 2025].”
“Look, there’s always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things,” Zelnick responded when IGN asked how confident he was that Rockstar will hit fall 2025 for GTA 6. “So we feel really good about it.”
When asked for an update on how development on GTA 6 is going, Zelnick kept his cards close to his chest.
“Look, I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally,” he said. “We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I’m fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we’re all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited.”
The GTA 6 release date is one of the hottest topics in all of entertainment, with rival publishers waiting with bated breath for Rockstar to make its announcement. Earlier this week, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said he was willing to delay the new Battlefield out of the next fiscal year depending on the release timing of its competitors’ games, a thinly veiled nod to the behemoth that is GTA 6.
Speaking generally about Rockstar, Take-Two said Grand Theft Auto 5 has now sold-in an incredible 210 million units worldwide. GTA Online had a “strong” quarter, led by the Agents of Sabotage update. GTA+ memberships increased 10% year-over-year in the quarter.
Red Dead Redemption 2, meanwhile, has sold-in more than 70 million copies. Take-Two noted it is currently seeing its highest level of concurrent players on Steam.
“We are exceedingly optimistic about the commercial potential of our titles and believe that they will have a transformative effect on our business – and our industry – over the long term,” Take-Two said, before adding it remains “highly confident” it will achieve “sequential increases in, and record levels of, net bookings in fiscal 2026 and 2027.”

A new patent filed by Nintendo seems to confirm that the Nintendo Switch 2’s Joy-Con will include mouse functionality. The patent was filed on 1st April 2023 and made public today, 6th February 2025 (thanks to reader Davis for sending this to us!).
Sure, we’ve been pretty confident about mouse functionality given the number of leaks over the past few months, and that little teaser in the Switch 2 reveal trailer, but Nintendo has yet to officially confirm that this is even a feature.

Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford has said Troy Baker playing the beloved character in video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is proof “you don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul.”
Ford discussed alleviating control of Indy with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, saying he was very happy with the performance of The Last of Us actor Baker.
“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul,” Ford said. “You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it.”
Ask any “boomer shooter” aficionado what their favourite modern examples of the genre are, and Trigger Happy Interactive’s sublime Turbo Overkill will most likely make the top three, alongside Dusk and Ultrakill, if they want to be our actual pals.
Yep, this is a highly-regarded retro-style FPS and, once you’ve spent just a few minutes in the blood-soaked shoes of Johnny Turbo, it’s not very hard to see why. And now, nearly two years after its full PC release, it’s finally on Switch.
We live to fight, Legends. This season we’re showing that the community rules all as some of your favorite creators are taking over content and competition. These Creator Commissioners will create challenges based on their own Apex experiences, with fresh and unique items available to earn. Gear up with Arsenals, new shops stocked with everything you need to hit the battlefield immediately. All of this, plus the addition of Legend updates and bold meta changes, we’ve planned quite the party this season. But that’s not all we’re celebrating: our Anniversary Event kicks off along with the new season with even more community created content and the debut of the Mythic R-301. Apex Legends: Takeover launches on February 11.
Creator Commissioners
Four different Creator Commissioners will take the reins for two weeks each, along with their own challenges to conquer, new and returning fan-favorite modes, and fresh rewards. On week one, work with other players to complete Community challenges and ultimately determine how many Apex Packs will be up for grabs the following week.
On week two, it’s time to really earn those rewards. Work through five individual challenges to unlock a creator-selected Legendary weapon skin and the Apex Packs you chased in the first week. Participating in week one doesn’t automatically earn you rewards in week two, so you’ll want to jump into matches in the second week too.
Creator Commissioners and their Legendary choices:
February 25 – March 10, 2025: Ninjayla Legendary skin: Wingman’s Death Ray
March 11 – 24, 2025: Oraxe Legendary skin: Kraber’s The Pioneer
April 1-14, 2025: Apryze Legendary skin: Mastiff’s Bone Breaker
This new addition to Battle Royale provides easy and consistent access to weapons and ammo of your choice. Stations will be located across all POIs on every map with fixed locations, but with random ammo types per match.
Arsenals will also provide relevant ammo and the ability to enhance weapons. You can enhance one weapon per Arsenal and that weapon must match the Arsenal’s ammo type. Doing so will grant an upgraded attachment and provide an optic if the weapon is missing one. When bins reset, so too do Arsenals—giving you the ability to upgrade again with higher potency. The amount of ammo also significantly increases after a reset.
Meta changes
Everything changes this season with fresh meta updates that you’ll want to check out ASAP. Most notably, all weapon classes are getting adjusted to feel more competitive with Assault Rifles. Be aware that the time-to-kill has been decreased, not only due to these weapon adjustments, but also thanks to updates to Armor, Helmets, and headshot multipliers. Legends also get some nifty new updates: the Assault class is getting handy new perks, and both Ash and Ballistic are getting some special attention. We’ve also made some adjustments to regen items to ensure you still have a fighting chance while taking on these lethal changes.
Legend Spotlight Passes
Complete challenges with the new Legend Spotlight Pass to increase your proficiency with a potential new Legend, and earn rewards as you progress through twenty levels to the ultimate goal: a Legendary skin pack for that Legend. You can purchase one per season per Legend in the in-game store, and it will also unlock the Legend if you haven’t already.
Oh no, it’s a pre-order article for Civ VII, get down! Well, it’s also just a friendly PSA, in case you’re looking for the best deal right now. The game is launching on February 11, and if you’ve been waiting to carve your place in history again, we’ve found a solid discount going right now for PC gamers.
Matsuhiro Arita is no stranger to card games. He’s the artist responsible for the paintings on innumerable cards from the original release of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, including the highly saught after Charizard – but now he’s painting a different kind of dragon thanks to a Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop, and we’ve got the first look at all four cards from it.
Flip through the gallery below to see all the cards in Arita’s Secret Lair:
This isn’t the first time Arita has painted a Magic card, but his previous addition was a single, borderless art version of Lumra, Bellow of the Woods from last year’s Bloomburrow set. So to get four new cards all at once shortly after that is a big jump.
In addition to that, the inclusions all see some sort of play accross different formats. The iconic Lighting Bolt is played pretty much everywhere it is allowed, and Murktide Regent has been a powerful card in both Modern and Legacy since its release in Modern Horizons 2 in 2021. Meanwhile, Light-Paws is a well-loved Commander on its own, and Shorikai has both found a comfy home for itself in many Vintage Cubes and is currently the 20th most popular Commander overall according to EDHRec.
Wizards of the Coast describes this drop on its store page as such: “With nearly 30 years of experience creating beloved art for trading card games, Mitsuhiro Arita’s work has become some of the most recognizable in the world. His first collaboration with Magic: The Gathering was on a borderless Lumra, Bellow of the Woods released in 2024’s Bloomburrow, which quickly became a fan-favorite. In this Secret Lair Drop, the legendary artist returns to showcase his iconic creature design across four remarkable cards.”
As usual with Secret Lair drops, this one will be available on the Secret Lair website in non-foil for $29.99 and foil for $39.99, with both only being made available while supplies last starting on Monday, February 10 at 9am PT. Secret Lairs can tend to sell out fast these days, a point of irration within the community since WOTC switched from a timed print-to-order system last year, so if you’re looking to snag them you’ll want to be there as soon as they go live.
Disney is a multimedia powerhouse, the king of every form of entertainment from movies, TV shows, theme parks, and even video games. Over the last 30 years, The House of Mouse had a hand in creating video game adaptations of some classic Disney movies and original games, like Kingdom Hearts and Epic Mickey.
Today, there are plenty of Disney games on the Nintendo Switch for you to enjoy playing alone or with family and friends. Whether you’re relaxing at home and want to take a break from scrolling through Disney+ or taking a trip to a Disney Park, here’s every Disney game for the Switch in release order.
How Many Disney Games Are on the Nintendo Switch?
It can be a little challenging to pinpoint what is and isn’t “Disney” these days. In total, 11 Disney games have launched on the Switch since the handheld released in 2017. Three of those games are movie tie-ins, one is a spin-off of the Kingdom Hearts series, and one is technically a collection of multiple “Disney classics.” I don’t include them here in the interest of space, but there are also plenty of Star Wars games on the Switch that technically fall under the Disney umbrella.
Which Disney Game Is Worth Playing in 2025?
Not every Disney game is created equal. The combination of “the Disney Brand” with Nintendo Switch games already being pretty expensive means I wouldn’t recommend all of the games on this list at their current price points. That said, there have definitely been some winners in the past couple years. If you’re looking for a game that makes you feel like you’re part of the Disney world, Dreamlight Valley is as good as it gets. The Animal Crossing-like game places you in the position to rebuild Dreamlight Valley with the help of your neighbors, a host of Disney and Pixar characters with their own questlines.
All Disney and Pixar Games on Switch (in Release Order)
Cars 3: Driven to Win (2017)
The first Disney game that launched on the Switch is technically a Pixar game that also overlapped with the Nintendo 3DS. In 2017, the media giant released a tie-in game for the movie Cars 3. Naturally, Cars 3: Driven to Win is a racing game featuring 20 tracks based on locations from the films (including Radiator Springs). The game also includes 20 customizable “characters,” some that are automatically unlocked at the start, like Lightning McQueen, while others, like Mater and Chick Hicks, can only be unlocked by winning your way through the five game modes and various Master Events.
LEGO The Incredibles (2018)
LEGO The Incredibles takes the plotlines of both Incredibles films, released 14 years apart, and merges them into one giant LEGO game. Much like the LEGO Star Wars games, LEGO The Incredibles contains some deviations from the original source material, like changes to the lore we don’t want to spoil for those who haven’t seen the films (even though you had nearly 20 years to do so), and adds original villains to fight along with Bomb Voyage, Syndrome, and the Underminer. But it’s fun to play through, especially seeing that the LEGO version of Elastigirl can stretch herself as far as her movie version can.
Disney Tsum Tsum Festival (2019)
Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a cute party game inspired by the Disney Tsum Tsum line of collectible toys and the mobile game from Japan, featuring all the Disney and Pixar characters in Tsum Tsum form. The game has 10 different minigames you can play alone or with family and friends, including bubble hockey, curling, and ice cream stacker, among others. You can even play the classic mobile puzzle game with the Switch in a vertical position.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (2019)
Disney and Square Enix’s spin on the latter’s Theatrhythm Final Fantasy lets you take control of Sora, Donald, Goofy, and other characters from across the Kingdom Hearts universe to slash the Heartless and their ilk to the beat of the series’ iconic soundtrack. Enjoy the musical stylings of Yoko Shimomura by yourself, or share the music with your friends in local co-op or online multiplayer battles.
In the grand scheme of things, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory gives a recap of the series up to Kingdom Hearts 3 with narration from Kairi, who falls into a deep sleep under Ansem the Wise’s observation after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3’s Re: Mind DLC. Whether you’re a veteran fan of Kingdom Hearts games or a newcomer, this game does an excellent job of getting you up to speed in preparation for Kingdom Hearts 4, which is currently in development.
Disney Classic Games Collection is an updated edition of 2019’s Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King (a mouthful of a title) that includes the Final Cut of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book. It has an interactive museum, a rewind function to correct gameplay mistakes, an expanded soundtrack, and a retro-style manual for one of the three games if you buy a physical copy.
This compilation lets you relive the game adaptations of your favorite Disney movies the way you played them in the ‘90s no matter which platform you owned at the time, hence the inclusion of the Sega Genesis and Game Boy versions of Aladdin and The Lion King, as well as the Super Nintendo version of the latter. Adding The Jungle Book makes the compilation even more valuable as no one had seen the game since 1994.
Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition (Switch Release: 2021)
In hindsight, Disney’s Magical World series feels a bit like the precursor to Dreamlight Valley. Originally released for the 3DS, the first two Magical World games let players befriend and complete quests for Disney and Pixar characters with additional farming, crafting, and even combat mechanics. Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition is a remaster of the second game in the series released specifically for the Nintendo Switch. Like Animal Crossing, the game syncs to your device’s clock for seasonal events and quest refreshes.
Tron: Identity (2023)
Tron: Identity is a visual novel that differentiates itself from other games adapted from the Tron franchise. It reveals another facet of life on the Grid without involving characters from the films, as it is set thousands of years after the events of Tron: Legacy. The game centers on a program named Query, a detective assigned to investigate an explosion in the vault of the Repository, a secure building in the center of the Grid. As the mystery unfolds, the other programs you interact with pose more questions than answers.
Each character you meet gives you the choice to either ally with them, antagonize them, or derezz them, depending on the dialogue. Plus, you have to complete puzzles in order to ask them more questions about the vault explosion. That’s a lot of detective work to do in three to six hours.
2023 was a big year for Disney games, but the first release from that year flew a little under the radar. Disney Speedstorm is a kart racing game featuring some brawling mechanics and, of course, a pretty extensive lineup of Disney characters with unique skills and their own personalized vehicles. Characters are pulled from everything under Disney’s umbrella, from the emotions of the Inside Out movies to Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. While the racing mechanics are relatively solid, IGN’s Early Access review of the game comments on the “absurd” token systems and “gacha-like” in-game economies.
Disney Illusion Island (2023)
Mickey Mouse’s latest gaming adventure from Disney Interactive and Dlala Studios sees him, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy travel to the mysterious Monoth Island for a picnic that turns into a high-stakes mission to recover the three stolen Tomes of Knowledge that helps protect the island. Whether you’re playing in single-player or co-op mode with three additional players, you can play as either character and navigate the island Metroidvania style.
Disney Illusion Island carries the same comedic charm as the recent Mickey Mouse cartoons despite the change in art style. Enjoy the game’s story, the lore of Monoth Island, and the unlockable Mickey Mouse memorabilia scattered around the island.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life sim from Gameloft that is basically Disney meets Animal Crossing, where you get to live, work, and play alongside your favorite Disney characters. You play as a human who arrives at the titular Dreamlight Valley, which has been gripped by the Night Thorns, leading to The Forgetting. This supernatural event caused the Disney characters who stayed in the valley to lose their memories while others returned to their home worlds for safety.
You work to rebuild Dreamlight Valley using magic called Dreamlight to weed out the Night Thorns, provide housing for the character via Scrooge McDuck’s construction company, cook food at Remy’s restaurant, and build friendships with everyone, both heroes and villains. The best part is, you never have to worry about your clothes, food, and tools taking up space in your inventory. And you can customize your character with the coolest Disney outfits complete with Mickey Mouse ears just like you were going to Disney World — or Disneyland, depending on where you live.
The most recent Disney game on the Switch, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remaster of the original Epic Mickey game that launched on the Wii in 2010. Smoother performance, enhanced graphics, and new abilities make the platformer an overall improvement over its predecessor. Take on the lofty role of Mickey Mouse as you try to stop the “Blot” from destroying the memories of forgotten characters, traversing darker-than-usual Disney environments and, of course, enlisting the helpful of friendly faces along the way.
While there are always new Star Wars games in development, we don’t have any confirmation on other new Disney games coming in 2025. Dreamlight Valley continues to get new content, most recently the Storybook Vale expansion. Meanwhile, Kingdom Hearts 4 was officially announced during the series’ 20th anniversary back in 2020, but no new information has come up regarding a release date.
The biggest news in the Nintendo universe this year has been the official announcement of the Switch 2, which will be followed by a Nintendo Direct in April. It’s pretty likely that any news about future Disney games comes with more information on the Switch 2 release.
