There's still a lot of games that get released each year and most of them don't make the news for delays, they just release and move on. Here's a list of titles that shipped this year and did not have publicized delays:

- Mario Kart World
- DK Bananza
- Kingdom Come Deliverance II
- Civ 7
- Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Fatal Fury: City of the Worlds
- Forza Horizon 5
- Doom: The Dark Ages
- Elden Ring Nightreign
These are all AAA game releases from 2025 so far. In addition to these, we can also expect to see our annual Call of Duty, EA Sports titles, and 2k Sports titles release on time, because they always do. How many AAA games have been delayed this year? Do you think it is more or fewer than these? The majority of game releases don't get delayed. The news tends to report on the ones that do, so it just feels like there's a lot more than there really are.
