TopMob has put together a list of the best Xbox Series X games to give as gifts in 2025. It includes both recent hits from the last year and older favorites that are still worth playing.

Embark Studios plans to support their new game, ARC Raiders, for ten years, meaning players can expect a lot of new content, including maps, over time. Currently, the game features five maps, each with a different gameplay experience. Dam Battlegrounds is the easiest map, with fewer enemies compared to maps like Buried City or Blue Gate. It’s also known for being more relaxed in terms of player-versus-player combat, likely because it’s the first map new players unlock, and they need to play a few matches before accessing others.

From December 2nd to January 5th, PlayStation Plus members of all tiers can get a selection of both new and previously released games – perfect if you missed out on some titles in the past few years.

Destiny 2 had a great launch in 2017, but recently it’s been losing players. In early October, the game reached its lowest point ever in terms of how many people were playing at the same time on Steam, with the number of concurrent users only exceeding 50,000 on one day that month. Many dedicated fans have expressed frustration with recent changes to the game, and it appears Bungie is now working on a major update to try and win players back.

Friendship has been a key part of many Pokémon games, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A continues that tradition. Certain Pokémon in the game can only evolve if you’ve built a strong friendship with them.

You can find the Mixtape by searching Residential or Commercial areas. Because it’s a rare Epic Trinket, you’ll usually find lower-quality items instead. However, drawers, cabinets, and lockers are the best places to look, so focus on locations with lots of them.

It’s not just challenging battles that are causing problems for some players in ARC Raiders. Players are experiencing a lot of backstabbing, with some pretending to be friendly before unexpectedly attacking their teammates. To address this, players have started creating a community-made ‘watchlist’ to keep track of untrustworthy individuals.

This year, the creators of Lies of P launched their Overture DLC, and it proved to be a hit with both players and critics. In fact, it won the Best Game Expansion award at the Golden Joysticks Awards 2025. While accepting the award, the game’s director also shared some news about their next project.
