In today's Daily Fix: The biggest video game even in the world is just a few weeks away—yes we're talking about gamescom happening in Germany later this month. Xbox is the only one of the three major console makers attending the show, and they're bringing their A-game. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, World of Warcraft: The War Within, Starfield's new DLC, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and more have already been announced for the show. In other news, BioWare's upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard still doesn't have a release date, but that could change soon. And finally, if you have Amazon Prime, this month's free games offering is not too bad. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided headlines the list, and was one of the best games of 2016, along with some indie hits and a few Tomb Raiders.
