Sa kabila ng halos ikalawang buwan ng 2025, ang mga laro mula sa 2024 ay ipinagdiriwang pa rin sa mga seremonya ng parangal, tulad ng Game Developers Choice Awards. Ang taong ito ay nagmamarka ng ika-25 anibersaryo ng mga parangal, at mayroon kaming isang epic clash sa pagitan ng dalawang pamagat upang makumpleto ito.
