Hey guys, I just decided to get my first bike, after building the bike the tire keeps coming off the rim. I haven’t assembled it incorrectly as the tire came attached to the wheel and assembled already. It’s happening once it reaches 25PSI
Any advice would be appreciated

I typically just reset the bead. Deflate all of the air then pinch the tire towards the center (all the way around. Once the bead is in the center of the rim all they way around and slowly re-inflate.
Looks a lot like a tire whose bead wire has torn out. Can you feel the steel bead in the section of tire that’s not captured by the rim in this picture? Or, is it just rubber?
The picture doesn’t show much detail but as far as I can tell it looks like there isn’t even a bead or is worn somehow if so a new tyre isn’t too expensive
It looks like the bead tore off the tire sidewall. You’re going to have to replace the tire.

don’t feel any metal or anything. Is there anything I can do to do for it so I don’t have to get a new tire? I appreciate all the help so far
I’ve seen this on bikes on the cheaper end of things because the rims and tires aren’t always manufactured to within the tolerances required. It could probably be returned/warrantied, but if you absolutely have to use it, pump it very slowly, when you see the bead coming out, try and work the bead back into the rim by working your way around the tire.
