In contrast to the usual summer lull in new game releases, the month of May in 2025 is proving quite eventful. The highly anticipated launch of the Switch 2 at the beginning of June has triggered a flurry of game releases, even before it hits the market. Among these, there are long-awaited entries from some well-known franchises such as Doom and Elden Ring.
Here are the best games releasing in May 2025.
Sonic Rumble – May 8
Almost here is the eagerly anticipated new Sonic the Hedgehog game, which has been somewhat overlooked. Coming to iOS, Android, and Windows platforms, Sonic Rumble appears to be an entertaining 32-player battle royale game akin to Fall Guys, featuring Sonic’s entire cast in their most adorable chibi forms. Given that Sonic has recently enjoyed success with a mobile-focused strategy, as demonstrated by the smash hit Sonic Dream Team on Apple Arcade, we can hope this trend continues.
The Midnight Walk – May 8
Among the highly-anticipated independent games slated for release in May, The Midnight Walk stands out as a captivating choice. A single glance at its screenshot reveals why.
