Game Drops: August 2024
Graphic: @CierraShares | Source Images: Various
Hello friends!
August is just around the corner, and that means a whole new batch of games is on the way! I’ve been taking a little streaming sabbatical to enjoy the summer before I move next month, but I’m still keeping an eye on game releases so I can stay in the know. As always, I want to share to keep you in the loop with me!
I’m a big believer in buying games as you play them (in theory). I have a huge collection of unplayed games, and while some are collectible, some I probably didn’t need to buy them as soon as they came out.
It’s impossible to play every game upon release, so we hope this list helps you decide which games to pick up this month!

Extras
If you’re a PC gamer or content creator, you know how big some of these files can be — if you’re looking for a storage upgrade, I recommend investing in a WD Black D10 8TB External Hard Drive. It’s what I personally use in my setup and have tons of games and years of stream footage with space to spare.

If you’re looking for a new controller, my top recommendation is the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller. It’s one of the few wireless controllers with rumble features, it connects to both PCs and all consoles, and features special Hall Effect joysticks to prevent future controller drift.
