While the PS5 and PS4 only have a handful of games releasing this week, the same can’t be said for Xbox.
Microsoft’s gaming platforms will have 30 new games to check out, and while most of them are indie games, there are also a bunch of big games that will be released.
Chief among the releases is the latest entry in a long-running franchise, which shakes up the series’ template in more ways than one.
Xbox Game Releases For August 4 to August 10
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 (August 5) – The latest game from the hit anime features over 40 characters and introduces new elements, including gear upgrades. Fans will want to see what CyberConnect2 has cooked up.
Madden NFL 26 Early Access (August 7) – The latest iteration of EA’s yearly football franchise. Expect a roster update, new gameplay refinements seasonal updates until the next Madden game is released next year. If you’re a football fan, this and College Football 26 (also by EA) are your only options.
Mafia: The Old Country (August 8) – The big game releasing this week is none other than Mafia: The Old Country, which is the latest entry in the Mafia franchise. While the game won’t be as expansive as the previous entries, it won’t cost as much either. Based on what’s shown by publisher 2K, it looks to bring the franchise’s dramatic narrative once again.

In other Xbox news, Gamescom is kicking off later this month, and Xbox will have a presence at the show! Players attending can play one of the most anticipated indie games at the event.
Hopefully, we don’t get an avalanche of bad Xbox news like last month, with canceled projects, layoffs, and more.
