Big Changes Coming in 2025

A fresh year brings exciting new developments to one of gaming’s most dedicated independent outlets

Whilst some great gaming websites died in 2024, and others seem content with the status quo, GamingDebugged.com is kicking off 2025 with a bold refresh that aims to bring readers closer to both the games they love and the development process itself.

Behind the Curtain: A Developer’s Journey

Perhaps the most intriguing addition is an all-new development diary series, offering readers an intimate look into the creation of a 2D metroidvania. Rather than merely reporting on games, I will will pull back the curtain on the deeply personal journey of game creation, sharing both triumphs and challenges along the way.

Championing the Independent Spirit

The site’s renewed focus on indie games couldn’t come at a better time. With the independent scene continuing to push creative boundaries, GamingDebugged’s expanded coverage of these innovative titles promises to spotlight gems that might otherwise slip under the radar. This heightened attention to indie developments will complement the site’s established Xbox and VR coverage, creating a rich tapestry of gaming content.

Meeting Gamers Where They Are

Recognising the evolving media landscape, GamingDebugged is strengthening its presence on TikTok and YouTube. This pivot towards video-first platforms reflects where gaming audiences increasingly gather, though the site’s commitment to written content remains unwavering.

Building a Stronger Community

The launch of a new Discord server marks an exciting step towards fostering a more connected gaming community. This digital gathering space will enable readers to discuss everything from the latest Xbox releases to VR innovations, whilst also following the site’s metroidvania development journey in real-time.

Familiar Foundations

Longtime readers need not worry – the core elements that have made GamingDebugged an award-winning voice in gaming space aren’t going anywhere. The site’s comprehensive news coverage, thoughtful previews, and detailed guides will continue to serve as the backbone of its content offering.

This evolution feels less like a dramatic overhaul and more like a natural progression, adding exciting new dimensions to an already robust gaming destination. 2025 looks set to be GamingDebugged’s most engaging year yet.
