Summarizing the previous month, we're analyzing the metrics of July's main new releases on PC and consoles. Inside, you'll find extensive data on major releases like Wuchang and Donkey Kong Bananza, as well as successful indie titles such as Mage Arena and The King is Watching.

Games discussed in this article:
