August 2025 - Video Game Release Dates

August has a handful of big releases heading our way. We've got Mafia: The Old Country hitting PS5, Xbox, and PC on August 8. Sports fans can pick up Madden NFL 25 on either the 11th or 14th, depending on whether you spring for the expensive edition or not, which is pretty annoying. Swtich 2 owners get Drag x Drive, which may or may not be thrilling, and old-school Kojima fans can grab a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, this time called Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Oh, and Gears of War Reloaded comes to Xbox, PC, and even PS5 if you can believe it.
