The Biggest Games Releasing in August 2025
August 2025 marks a nostalgic return for several long-dormant gaming franchises, with titles like Mafia: The Old Country leading the charge. The month's releases skew toward linear narratives and remastered experiences, a departure from the open-world dominance of recent years.
Notable entries include a new Dying Light installment revisiting the original protagonist and a stripped-down Mafia prequel set in 1900s Sicily. While the summer release schedule remains lighter than peak seasons, 2025 has already delivered major hardware and software milestones including the Nintendo Switch 2 launch and Death Stranding 2.
