20.02.2025

In 2024, the industry was still grappling with a limited pipeline and the lingering effects of the pandemic years. But this year, gaming is unstoppable. 2025 is the year the industry breaks records, offering brands a unique opportunity to connect with a new generation of consumers. At No Noob, we’re already feeling the surge in demand, businesses are lining up to be part of this booming world.

The 3 Biggest Gaming Highlights of 2025

1. The Epic Launch of GTA VI

Rockstar Games is set to release the latest instalment of its iconic franchise. With a staggering $2 billion budget and millions of fans worldwide, this will be the biggest entertainment launch in history. Expected revenue? $3.2 billion in the first year alone. This isn’t just a milestone for gamers, it’s a golden opportunity for brands to tap into the hype and engage a massive audience.

2. The First-Ever Olympic Esports Games

Competitive gaming is getting a major upgrade. For the first time, the International Olympic Committee is hosting the Olympic Esports Games. The location? Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. A prime opportunity for brands to gain visibility among a global gaming community of millions.

3. Switch It Up

Nintendo is launching a brand-new console in 2025, the successor to its hugely popular Switch. While details remain scarce, one thing is certain: it’s set to be a global hit. From kids to adults, everyone will be getting involved.

The Time Is Now for Belgian Brands

While global gaming giants dominate the headlines, there are huge opportunities for Belgian brands too. Gaming is no longer a niche, but it’s where Gen Z lives. What does this mean for you? It’s time to think beyond traditional social media and activate your brand in a world that thrives on Twitch, Discord, and YouTube Gaming.
