August has arrived, which means fans of video games have a whole new month's worth of PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC games to crack open and play. No matter what platform you prefer, you'll find something fun to play this month, whether it's a very different type of game from the makers of Pokémon with Beast of Reincarnation, or a fighting game like Marvel Tokon, or a strategy take on Star Wars with Zero Company. The Switch 2 is also getting a ton of big games previously released on other platforms this month. Read on to see release dates for all the biggest games and expansions coming out this month and beyond. Let's have a look.
