Contrary to expectations, July 2022 brings with it quite a few good games, so we’ve only listed the 10 best titles coming out this month.
In the winter months, we’re used to seeing quite a few big game announcements, but not as many real game releases. Still, there are still plenty of titles coming out in July. For starters, we get a new official F1 game, followed by a promising tennis simulator.
This month will also see a few remasters and remakes of old classics, as well as new entries to long-running series, including the latest Xenoblade Chronicles outing. We also get two games that offer a new perspective.
