Out of the new PS5 games releasing in August 2025, a few stand out from the pack. Mafia: The Old Country is easily one of the most highly-anticipated new releases of August, serving as the first completely new entry in the long-running crime series since 2016's Mafia 3. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 coming to PS5 marks yet another Xbox-owned game releasing on Sony's platform, while Madden NFL 26 is sure to be one of the year's highest-selling new releases when it's all said and done.
Gears of War: Reloaded is another Xbox game coming to PS5, and will mark the blockbuster third-person shooter franchise's debut on PlayStation. Gears of War: Reloaded is a remaster of the original Gears of War game, and so it should make for a perfect jumping-on point for PS5 gamers that are interested in the series. In any case, heavy hitters like Gears of War: Reloaded, Mafia: The Old Country, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and other big games releasing in August should ensure that it's a month to remember for PS5 gamers.
