August 2022 game releases: Upcoming titles being released this month

After a few slower summer months, August feels packed with new games and it should only get busier when the heat goes out and we move closer to the end of this year.

If starting a cult or building a criminal empire (or a college campus) is your thing, there’s a game for you this month. Sports fans have two reasons to get excited – EA Sports’ latest vision for the NFL comes Aug. 20, and a brand-new licensed series will hand over the reins of a Formula One team to you. 

There are some good old games coming to new platforms, too. PC gamers will be treated to yet another PlayStation exclusive while ‘80s and ‘90s kids (and everyone else, really) will get some iconic turtle games and a classic Pac-Man remake.

Here are the best video games releasing in August 2022.
