Games of August 2024
Can you believe that it is already August, where is the year going? After two slow months, with June and July having some loaded days, but mostly quiet, August is going to kick your butt, as it releases 50 games and expansions.
July saw one week get 11 games released over its length and it seems August said to hold my beer, as there are 10 games all launching on the 29th and some of them are big games.
As always we have linked to the relevant digital store where possible, and the list is accurate as of the time of publishing so any last minute delays are not included here.
