This summer has been an absolutely boom for gaming, and somehow we’re seeing even more games releasing in August than in June, a month heavily aided by the release of the Nintendo Switch 2!

It’s literally impossible for one person to play all of these games as soon as they come out, so every month we put together a comprehensive list of releases across all platforms, including mobile games, to help you better plan your play time and game budget. Read on for all of August’s game debuts and a look at when you can catch some deals through upcoming Steam sales!

Extras

If you’re a PC gamer or content creator, you know how big some of these files can be — if you’re looking for a storage upgrade, I recommend investing in a WD Black D10 8TB External Hard Drive. It’s what I personally use in my setup and have tons of games and years of stream footage with space to spare.

If you’re looking for a new controller, my top recommendation is the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller. It’s one of the few wireless controllers with rumble features, it connects to both PCs and all consoles, and features special Hall Effect joysticks to prevent future controller drift.

What games are you most excited for, even if they aren’t on this list? I’d love to hear your thoughts and what games you’ve been playing. Let’s start a conversation and leave a comment down below!
