Get ready to rev your engines and race around the world in Mario Kart World, where all the circuits are linked in one huge, interconnected map. Speed through lush meadows, big cities, scorching volcanoes, and more. It’s not just about racing the same tracks over and over — you’ll need to hop off the course and outpace the competition in rallies between events too!

Hang on tight as you grind rails, leap off walls, and glide across wide-open waters to stay ahead of your rivals. But with unpredictable weather changes, you can never take it easy. Heavy snow and sandstorms will keep you on your toes as you push for victory. And with up to 24 drivers on the track at the same time, there’s no shortage of shells and bananas to dodge.

Rack up the most points in the classic Grand Prix mode. Or stay in the race in the intense Knockout Tour, where the slowest driver is eliminated at each checkpoint until only one remains. You can also race or free roam with up to 23 other players online, tackling both new and reimagined courses with added routes. Plus, there’ll be plenty of new drivers, vehicles, and items to get to grips with.

The winner of The Game Awards 2023’s ‘Best Fighting Game’ has landed on Nintendo’s latest console. And it’s not just a bog-standard port. That’s because Street Fighter 6 for Switch 2 offers fresh gameplay features and enhanced graphics that make every character shine on that bulked-up new screen. With this Years 1-2 Fighters Edition letting you master up to 26 combatants from across the game's DLC releases. That’s 8 more than you get in the regular version of the game, with extra outfit colours and stages thrown in too.

You can also enjoy exclusive Switch 2 content like Local Wireless One on One and Avatar Matches. Plus, those Joy-Con 2 controllers will let you get properly physical in brand-new party modes — perfect for a fun, competitive evening with friends. These include Gyro Battle and Calorie Contest, where the player who burns the most calories takes the crown!

The combat system has been evolved too, with three control types to match your skill level. And the new Real Time Commentary Feature will always pump you up as you unleash bone-crushing moves on your opponents. You can explore the immersive World Tour single-player story mode, meeting Masters along the way who’ll teach you their techniques. Or enter the Battle Hub where you can face-off against other players and even compete in classic Capcom arcade games.

The wild minds behind co-op smash hit, It Takes Two, are back. And with Split Fiction, things are about to get even crazier. Mio (a sci-fi writer) and Zoe (a fantasy author) aren’t having a good day. When their visit to a new publisher goes very wrong – an evil owner with an equally evil scheme will do that – they’re trapped in each other’s stories. And to stop their creative ideas from being nabbed, they’ll need to put aside their differences and team up to fight back.

You’ll be transported to all sorts of whacky worlds, with entirely different gameplay in every level. Platforming, puzzles and combat come thick and fast. You might be flying about on dragons in one mission and then scrapping with cyber ninjas in the next. So, you’ll have to master your weapons and abilities quickly if you want to make it through in one piece.

You won’t be lone wolfing this one though. It’s a two-player adventure that needs you to work together to beat each challenge. Coordinating your actions and precise timing are key here. Especially during the epic boss fights that’ll really test your mettle. Oh, and the devs have one more thing up their sleeve. With the Friend’s Pass (that comes with each copy), one of your mates can join you on your journey without even owning the game themselves! Cool, right?

Set in a bustling megalopolis of the future, you play as V – a cyberpunk mercenary on a mission. The objective? To track down a one-of-a-kind implant that’s the key to immortality. But you’re not the only one who’s looking for it. And getting your hands on it is going to be far from straightforward. After all, Night City is a dangerous place. So, watch your back out there.

In this open-world action RPG, you’ll customise the entire look and feel of V. And it’s not just about funky haircuts and tattoos (although they’re here too). You’ll arm yourself with an arsenal of cool cybernetic enhancements to get the job done. Prefer the sneaky approach? Get the Lynx Paws and creep right past the guards in complete silence. Or, if you’re more of a brawler, we’d go for the Gorilla Arms. These futuristic fists hit like a truck and will knock your foes into next week.

As you complete tasks for the big players in the criminal underworld, your rep will grow. And it’s up to you how your story plays out. Team up with fixers and gang leaders or betray them and take all the loot for yourself. Everything you do will shape the world around you. Hey, if you want to become a legendary urban outlaw, those tough decisions are all part of the fun.

Remember Elden Ring? Of course you do. It was arguably 2022’s biggest gaming hit, taking From Software’s hard as nails action RPG design to a whole new world. If you struggled with the punishing difficulty, harsh landscape and deadly bosses though – and let’s be honest, who didn’t – Nightreign might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Instead of roaming The Lands Between as a lone wolf, you’ll have some much-needed backup. Join forces with other adventurers in 3-player co-op and explore dank tombs, crumbling castles and murky swamps together. After all, there’s safety in numbers…

Before heading out, every member of the party will have to pick a hero. These unique fighters all come with their own gear and skills, which you’ll need to combine to vanquish the biggest baddies in the game. But it’s not only that towering fire giant who’s out to get you. Between each quest, a different environmental threat spreads across the land. And it looks like it’s going to be a bit more dangerous than just a spot of rain.

Get ready to become a motorsport great in F1 25, the official game of this year’s Formula One World Championship. You’ll get to line up alongside the likes of four-time WDC Max Verstappen and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton across 24 epic real-world circuits. The devs have used LiDAR tech to make sure track layouts and their surroundings are even truer to life in the latest game.

But one of the coolest things about F1 25 is its revamped My Team mode. It’ll let you live out your F1 fantasies by running your very own Formula 1 team. Use Owner Perks to specialise in your preferred areas of team management. Then get behind the wheel as one of your two F1 drivers on race weekends.

F1 25 will also feature the next instalment of Braking Point, an immersive story mode seen in previous games. The Konnersport team is now in the hunt for championships, but when a dramatic event threatens its future, you’ll have to fight back and keep yourself in title contention. Various adrenaline-pumping scenarios will test your skills to the max!

The hordes of hell are on the march. And only you can stand against them. In this medieval inspired sequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM Eternal, you are the DOOM Slayer – a hero on a one-man mission to save humanity. As you crush your foes, you’ll uncover the brutal backstory of the Slayer’s rage. And boy is he angry…

To defeat the demonic legions, you’ll need to venture deep into enemy territory. Gloomy forests. Vast fortresses. Bloody battlefields. They’re all here. And each is teeming with plenty of ghouls and beasts looking to make you their next meal. But as Earth’s greatest warrior, you’ve got nothing to be afraid of. You’re practically a walking tank.

Stand and fight with an arsenal of bone-crushing weapons. The iconic Super Shotgun makes a return. And it’s joined by new equipment like the ultra-savage Shield Saw. Launch this at your enemies, and it’ll tear through them like butter. Or, if you prefer getting up close and personal, there’s always the mace and flail. With a few swings, you’ll send even the scariest demon scurrying back to where they came from.

Rev up your engines and get ready to take on the world’s greatest motorcycle racers in MotoGP 25. As the official game of the championship, you’ll step into the boots of all your favourite riders and master the season’s most iconic circuits. From the thrilling Misano to the fast and flowing Phillip Island.

But MotoGP 25 isn’t just about going flat out. You can dive into all the technical stuff and develop your bike over the season to improve its performance. Plus, you’ll have to make some crucial career decisions with Turning Points. If you manage the rider market well, you could land a spot at a top team and pave your way to becoming a MotoGP legend!

And if you ever feel like you need to sharpen your skills, you can train just like MotoGP’s superstars with the new Race Off disciplines. Jump onto minibike, motard, and flat track bikes and take on challenges like elimination and relay races. These events not only boost your rider's fitness but will unlock accessories to help you fight at the front.
