UAE-based gamers reveal the most anticipated video games of 2025

As 2025 begins, the gaming community is abuzz with excitement over some of the most highly anticipated titles in years. From long-awaited sequels to groundbreaking innovations, the lineup is shaping up to be historic. To gauge the excitement, we spoke to UAE-based gaming influencers and content creators about their thoughts on the upcoming releases, the games they enjoyed the most in 2024, and the sequels they hope to see.

The crown jewel of anticipation: GTA 6

The most common thread among the responses is the overwhelming excitement for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). After more than a decade since GTA 5, Rockstar Games is set to redefine the open-world genre once again.

Bashar Kayyal, a UAE-based content creator with over millions of subscribers, expressed his enthusiasm. Better known as Basharkk, he said, "Without a doubt, GTA 6 is the game I'm most excited about. Rockstar Games has a reputation for pushing boundaries and setting new standards in gaming, and GTA 5 is a testament to that. After over a decade of development, I'm eager to see how they'll redefine the open-world genre and gaming as a whole."
