The VideoGamer Portugal Team met to discuss the games that most expected in the remainder of 2013. Here is the result of that conversation.
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Another night of Fortnite with the boys then?
I’ve never played Fortnite GTAV or CoD BO7 but I do own GTAV for PS4/5 because I got them cheap.
i think we should either take those games out, or make a singleplayer list too ha
What exactly are we not getting?
Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...
Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?
Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.
My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.
To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.
Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.
The future is so close...AND OUTDATED LIKE HELL!!!
These sub 2 teraFLOP ultra low end GPU's have no long term potential at all. These Next-gen console don't even come close to my BOOSTED PC equipped with an HD 7990 6GB GDDR5 with an 8 core FX8350 cpu OC to 4.8GHz.
Good luck with your low end GARBAGE that will use a hell lot of trickery to make stuff fairly passable. Optimization can only go so far. Devs will hit a wall pretty quick since now they have simplified X86 hardware. No cell or powerpc to learn.
These next gen console have ultra weak tablet CPU's which is written GPU bottleneck all over it.
There's a reason why they look more like PC's. BECAUSE PC's ARE JUST BETTER.
Xbox One uses DDR3 as graphics memory. It was last used 5 years ago in the GTX 9000 & HD 4000 series on PC because this type of RAM wasn't fast enough for high res textures. Didn't meet next gen standards for PC gamers 5 YEARS AGO!!!
PS4 uses GDDR5 memory (OK), but with all the latency,k the CPU can only access 20GB/s compared to the 176GB/s for the GPU. 20GB/s RAM is comparable DDR2 ram clocked at 620MHz...10 YEAR OLD TECH PWAHAHAHAHAHA.
3 years from now, devs will be crying to Sony and MS to have another gen since technology moves much faster this time.
By 2016 Nvidia/AMD will have introduced 14nm GPU, using stacked RAM (over 16GB+ of GDDRX memory per GPU) and GDDR6 is just around the corner. (No speculation, this is based on their road map)
Shitty consoles will die out eventually. Static hardware is pathetic for the industry. MS and Sony lost billions on GEN3 can't wait to see them fail again.
PC BEAST!!!
