"The year may not be over, but 2025 is all but guaranteed to go down as one of the best 12 months in gaming history. Between releases like Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Ghost of Yotei, to name just a few, there was truly something for everyone in 2025. Of course, that abundance also means it can be tricky to find a gift for the gamers in your life, especially if you're not one yourself."
"When the Nintendo Switch 2 arrived earlier this year, it became the first mainstream device to use the new microSD Express format for storage expansion. Relative to their regular microSD counterparts, Express cards can be pricey, with even the least expensive 128GB models going for as much as $50. A new storage format also means navigating confusing nomenclature. So if you'd like to save the Switch 2 owner in your life a headache and some money, grab them a microSD Express card."
"We gave the PlayStation Portal a fair amount of stick when it launched, and many of our criticisms from late 2023 remain valid two years later. It's still a streaming-only gaming handheld that presumes you already own a PS5 and is entirely at the mercy of your internet connection, so we can't promise it'll work well for everyone. But if your loved one's Wi-Fi is fairly stable, it's a comfortable way to play most PS5 games on the couch or laying in bed, thanks to its DualSense-controller-style grips and sizable eight-inch display."
2025 produced a highly regarded slate of games including Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Ghost of Yotei, offering broad appeal for many players. The abundance of strong releases made choosing gifts for gamers both exciting and challenging. Practical recommendations include microSD Express cards for Nintendo Switch 2 owners, with 128GB options providing a balance of capacity and cost. Streaming handhelds such as the PlayStation Portal require a PS5 and reliable Wi‑Fi but deliver comfortable DualSense-style grips and an eight-inch display for couch or bed play, providing convenience for specific household situations.
