Games Coming Out In August 2026 That You Should Be Excited For

As we near the endgame of another year of gaming, which is certain to be capped off by a couple of months of Grand Theft Auto VI dominance, we’re seeing everyone else scramble to fill the gaps before that fateful date.

August does feel like the beginning of that, and there’s a lot to be excited for here, whether it’s another enormous helping of ports or the long-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s D.I.C.E. Award for Game of the Year; we’re eating well enough before the storm of September leaves us spent, hollow shells.

Here’s a look at all of the exciting games releasing in August that you should have your eye on.
