15+ Of The Best Discounted Games From Xbox’s Mid-August 2026 Sales
It was just over a week ago that we brought you our top picks from the first batch of early August 2026 sales on the Xbox Store, but we’ve had a lot of new additions since then, so it’s time to round up the mid-August sales as well!
Specifically, we’ve noticed three new promotions going live on Xbox in recent days, and those are centred around Bundles, more ID@Xbox discounts, and an Action-RPG sale that’s only for Xbox Game Pass members.
Here are the end dates for these three new Xbox sales:
- Game Pass Action RPG (ends August 17th)
- Bundles (ends August 19th)
- ID@Xbox Publisher Spotlight Series (ends August 26th)
Naturally, we’ve been having a look through the list in recent days to find some of the deals that particularly stand out to us, and we’ve found some great ones for the likes of Black Myth: Wukong, Batman: Arkham Asylum, RoboCop: Rogue City and so much more!
It’s also worth keeping mind that some of the early month deals are still live, such as the massive discounts for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. We’re not going to repeat ourselves by mentioning those again this week, but rest assured they’re still live for a little while longer yet.
So, we’ve picked out over 15 titles that we think you should consider for your console in the new mid-August sales, and you can check the full selection by heading to the “Deals” section of the Microsoft Store app on your Xbox system.
