Gas giant planets, if present, are the most massive objects in a planetary system and play a pivotal role in shaping its overall architecture. The formation of these planets has constantly been a central issue in planetary science. Increasing evidence from spacecraft explorations of Jupiter and Saturn, as well as telescope observations of exoplanets, has provided new constraints on the formation process of gas giant planets. The classic challenge of explaining formation timescales still remains a significant issue, while new constraints on planetary interiors have introduced additional complexities. Recent shifts away from the single-size planetesimal hypothesis, nevertheless, show promise in resolving these problems. Additionally, various discoveries regarding exoplanets have led to theoretical improvements, while the discovery of numerous super-Earths and sub-Neptunes has posed new challenges in understanding gas accretion. This review synthesizes the latest theoretical advancements, discussing resolved issues and emerging challenges in giant planet formation.
