Another year has flown by in quick fashion, but as we look forward to what 2026 has in store for us, we reflect on the games of 2025 and the changes in the industry that will set the stage for the new year.

This month’s newsletter looks back on the best 2025 had to offer (games you probably weren’t expecting), an assessment of the current state of gaming hardware, and a list of some of the greatest winter wonderlands as the northern hemisphere prepares for a long cold winter.

We hope you enjoy this new issue of the newsletter. If you do, please share it with a friend!
