Forza Motorsport 6 is slightly older than Gears of War 4 and the eighth in the Forza series and was released in 2015. The driving and racing simulator is popular among car fans. Forza Motorsport 6 will be available beginning August 16 and through September 15.

Torchlight is a dungeon crawler game from 2009 and the oldest on the list. Created by Runic Games, it remains very highly rated across platforms, including Steam. Torchlight is available August 1 through 15.

Finally, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is an older game from 2010. The series itself is even older but hasn’t wavered in popularity. Lords of Shadow earned high marks at the time of its release. It will be available August 16 through 31.
