Helllllooooooooo weekend (almost)! And wow, what an exciting weekend it's going to be, considering just how many new releases there are to check out!
This week alone saw the launch of Battlefield 6, beat-em-up-roguelite Absolum, and spooky horror adventure game Little Nightmares III, amongst others. It was also a massive week for news between learning that Heart Machine is ending development of Hyper Light Breaker amid layoffs, Minecraft 2 (the movie) being announced, Devolver revealing the Skate Story release date, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team announcing new content is on the way, Nintendo mysteriously releasing a Pikmin short, and more. We also published a handy dandy (and constantly updating) list of Game Informer’s top scoring reviews of 2025, and we highly recommend bookmarking that page for the next time you’re not sure what to play.
Every Friday, the editors here at Game Informer like to get together and write up some blurbs about the game we think you should be playing this weekend! If you check any of these out, or have suggestions of your own, let us know in the comment section below! Without further ado…

Though the campaign might not deliver the same highs found in its multiplayer suite, Battlefield 6 is still a blast to play. I've only just begun my time with it and I can't wait to learn the maps and rotations, find my favorite weapons, and figure out how to get my K/D up.
Be sure to check out Game Informer’s Battlefield 6 review for an in-depth look at what works, what doesn’t, and what you need to know about it before jumping in this weekend.
