July wasn’t all that impressive for Xbox One owners. In fact, it’s safe to say that the month was pretty disappointing as far as game release dates go. But the good news is that August is just around the corner, and there are quite a few formidable upcoming Xbox One games to look forward to. From the newest iteration of Madden to a brand new Disney Infinity playset, the August 2015 game release schedule has as lot to offer.
Here are 4 upcoming Xbox One games releasing in August 2015 that you should be looking forward to:
