PS5 August 2025 Preview: Must-Play Upcoming Games Nine Exciting Titles Heading Your Way

🚀 What’s Coming in August for PS5

Here are the nine standout titles PS5 gamers should mark their calendars for this August 2025:

1. Mafia: The Old Country – August 8

Step into the early days of the Sicilian Mafia with this narrative-driven prequel, promising cinematic storytelling and immersive environments.

2. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II – August 12

Finally making its PS5 debut with enhanced performance modes—including a 60 FPS option and new roguelike challenges—plus a deluxe pack featuring the original game.

3. Sword of the Sea – August 19

From the makers of Abzû and The Pathless, this artful adventure blends serene exploration with dynamic hover‑sword movement across a desolate world.

4. Dying Light: The Beast – August 22

A standalone survival-horror offshoot starring Kyle Crane, featuring parkour, a rural open world, and a gripping revenge-driven plot.

5. Lost Soul Aside (PS5) – August 29

A stylish ARPG powered by Unreal 4, following Kaser’s emotional quest across fractured dimensions to save his sister.

6. Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater – August 28

Experience the beloved espionage classic rebuilt in Unreal 5, with modern visuals, updated controls, and new multiplayer Fox Hunt mode (PS5, Xbox, and PC).

7. Gears of War: Reloaded – August 26

The Xbox classic returns remastered with 4K/60fps campaign, 120fps multiplayer, all DLC, and for the first time—PlayStation support.

8. Mafia: The Old Country – (Yes—it bears repeating!)

With top-tier story missions and gritty 1900s Sicily authenticity, this suggests August is Mafia Month on PS5.

9. (Additional Big Title Tease)

Bonus mentions include Lost Soul Aside and Metal Gear Solid Delta—two narrative-heavy experiences poised to steal the show.


🎯 Why August 2025 Stands Out

  • Diverse genres: Crime drama, action-horror, meditative adventures, remasters, and high-octane ARPGs all launch in one month.
  • Cross-console synergy: PlayStation is welcoming Xbox exclusives like Gears of War and Hellblade 2, expanding its library in a big way.
  • Remasters with value: Titles like Metal Gear Solid Δ and Gears of War: Reloaded offer modern upgrades plus full DLC, delivering nostalgia with fresh polish.

🏁 Final Thoughts

August 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable month for PS5 gamers. Whether you're in it for deep stories, polished remasters, or thrilling ARPG action, there's something here that's worth the wait—and your attention.
