The Xbox One has always been bogged down by its slow, messy UI. But on the eve of the Xbox One X, we're finally getting the overhaul we deserve.

Thought that July was a dry month for gaming? Well hold onto your butt then, because August is going to be a killer. From the simple joy of Jousting in Nidhogg 2 through to the mind-bending paranoia of Hellblade, here's what you can expect to play next month.

If I could get my hands on some iconic WWE merchandise, I’d gladly settle for Mick Foley’s missing ear or The Rock’s cookbook. That…probably won’t happen. What will happen alternatively though, is that I’d drop some cash on the WWE 2K18 collector’s edition quicker than that time I bought a month’s worth of New Day-endorsed Booty-Os. This year, WWE 2K18 is celebrating 15 years of John Cena’s career, with a collector’s edition that’ll be limited to around 30 000 units. This is what it apparently looks like, but I can’t see anything.

EA’s digital simulation of life has been a PC mainstay for many a year now, last spotted on a console back in 2010. That’s all changing in November, as The Sims 4 is finally ready to jump back into those Xbox One and PS4 waters on November 17.

Like an Irishman working in a sodium factory on Saint Patrick’s day and who isn’t wearing green, you might want to take this with a pinch of salt as the August Xbox Games With Gold have been "leaked".

Microsoft is making good on their promises from earlier this year, with the first self-published indie games appearing on Xbox One for testers.

Business is constantly in flux, evolving and adapting to suit the needs of the people who don’t yet realise what they want. How do your survive in such a turbulent environment? You could do research, learn the market trends or imitate your competition. Or you could shove a loaded pistol in their face and just scarper away with their business. That’s the idea behind Shakedown: Hawaii, which stars you as an aging CEO in pastel shorts who decides to modernise his business empire.One bullet at a time of course.

Want to start sending Xbox One games to friends? It seems the console could get digital games gifting very soon.
