July 2025 – Video Game Release Dates
July is a good month for anyone who picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 at launch, because Donkey Kong Bananza hits the hybrid system on July 17. (Nintendo has finally confirmed it’s made by the Super Mario Odyssey team). If you didn’t buy the pricy new system, you may be interested in grabbing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, Grounded 2, or Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (which has a fantastic demo on Steam). Or, if you’re more into relaxing games to chill out while playing, Tales of the Shire is out on the 29th.
