The month of summer game showcases is over, and while most of the highly anticipated title releases of 2022 are reserved for year-end, there are a couple of notable games coming out in July 2022.

This month has already kicked off with the release of F1 22 on 1 July, which is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.

The new game offers several brand-new features such as race optimizations, greater immersion, and a high level of customisation of both the car and the player avatar in F1 Life.

The game also features updated physics to accommodate the new aero rules and re-worked the tyre model, making the handling more realistic.

F1 22 is just the beginning, and a full list of the best games coming in July 2022 is given below.
