Microsoft has published its official Xbox release overview for the coming week, covering games scheduled between August 17 and August 21. The lineup includes several substantial releases and expansions across Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Microsoft's weekly feature is particularly useful because it consolidates confirmed Xbox Store scheduling rather than relying on speculative release calendars. Among the biggest names are The Sinking City 2, Mortal Shell II, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope.
Release dates can still change, but these titles are currently listed by Xbox itself for the week ahead. Read the complete schedule on Xbox Wire and track our weekly launch calendar on [GameForceAsia](/news) and [Release Radar](/release-radar).
