Games of August 2025

Games of August 2025

August is traditionally the second slow month after July, the top of the world is deep into their summer still and most countries are not going back to school just yet, but it seems no one told these games.

Things kick off big with Demon Slayer, then lead into Mafia, but if you thought that was it, August 14 delivers a lot of games and the week of the 25th does it all over again. This month sees a game made by Xbox come to PlayStation and a game published by PlayStation come to Xbox, then there is Nintendo Switch 2 letting people play wheelchair basketball.
