Game of the Month August Poll

Hmmm, it feels like August could give us one of the tightest Game of the Month votes that we've had in quite some time.

That's mostly because there was no standout AAA heavy hitter — no massive release ready to crush the competition.

Don't get me wrong, August still had a healthy smattering of 'big' games, but I do think a good number of them will end up cannibalising each other when it comes to the public vote.

Indeed, last month saw the launch of some highly rated PS5 titles, the top dogs including Mortal Shell 2, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and Star Wars Zero Company.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls hit really hard with critics as well, although fighting games always have a tough time with these Game of the Month polls because of their niche nature.

It's possible that Big Walk has a shot here; the quirky indie adventure, which launched straight onto PS Plus, attracted a huge number of players. It's been a bit of a viral success story.

But before we dive into the voting process, let's quickly recap all of our 2026 Game of the Month winners so far...
