Next week is shaping up to be one of the most varied of the month for Xbox players, being summer. Three highly anticipated titles will arrive in just three days, offering experiences that range from intense action to exploration and retro charm. A combination that promises to keep fans of very different genres busy.

Traditionally, August has not been a month especially loaded with releases in the video game industry, as many companies reserve their big bets for the last quarter of the year. However, in recent years, the trend has been changing, and we see more and more important premieres in the middle of summer. This 2025 is no exception, and in fact, it closes the month with one of the most anticipated titles by fans: the return of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which will arrive on Xbox at the end of August.

The most powerful games of next week on Xbox

• August 18 – Delta Force: the legendary tactical saga returns with a modern proposal that combines ground combat, air combat, and stealth missions.

• August 19 – Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution: an action-adventure platformer with a classic flavor, recovering a lost project from the Game Boy Advance era.

• August 20 – Black Myth: Wukong: a spectacular action RPG inspired by Chinese mythology, with top-notch technical and artistic aspects.

Three releases, three styles, and one platform. With an increasingly intense calendar even in the middle of August, it’s clear that Xbox doesn’t take vacations. And with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater just around the corner, the second half of the month promises to be just as intense.
