Plenty of thrills await us in August and September 2023 with a wave of eagerly anticipated titles ready to hit various gaming platforms.
From the fantasy worlds of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Immortals of Aveum to the mechanical battles of Armored Core 6, there’s bound to be something for everyone.
Come September, sci-fi fans will be treated to Starfield, Bethesda’s newest RPG adventure set in a distant galaxy.
And of course! Phantom Liberty, the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC. Already pre-ordered baby, now we’re just waiting for 26 September.
The action continues with the pulse-pounding Mortal Kombat 1 and the strategy-fueled chaos of Payday 3.
Gaming calendar
Whether you’re into intense fighting games, immersive RPGs, or relaxing simulations, the calendar for August and September has something to satisfy every gaming palate.

I’m personally looking forward to Immortals of Aveum later this month and Baldur’s Gate 3 in September.
