The best entertainment of 2025

Free time is a rare thing — which is all the more reason to make sure you’re downtime isn’t going to waste. To help out, we’ve put together this list of our favorite games, TV shows, and movies from 2025. It’s a space designed to make the process of finding something to play or watch as easy as possible, as we share recommendations for things that are streaming, in theaters, or available on all manner of gaming devices.

It’s also a collection that will grow over time, as we keep adding our favorites throughout the year. (And if that’s not enough, you can also check out our running list of our current favorite indie games.) So keep checking back, and make good use of that precious time.
