Guide: These 12+ New PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (4th-10th May)
PlayStation’s release schedule for May 4-10 is notably sparse, marking one of the slowest weeks of the year for new game launches. The week’s primary highlights are two PS5 titles launching on May 5th: MOTORSLICE, a parkour-driven action-adventure that challenges players to navigate a megastructure’s ruins while climbing massive bosses and hunting construction equipment, praised for its immaculate aesthetic and slice-of-life gameplay; and Wax Heads, a cozy-punk narrative simulation that puts players behind the counter of a struggling record store, engaging with quirky customers through dialogue and exploring a handcrafted vinyl collection.
The article frames both titles as worthwhile additions despite the overall weakness of the release window. Beyond retail releases, PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers have access to monthly games available during this period, offering an alternative way to add titles to their libraries.
The characterization of this as the “slowest week of the year so far” suggests a significant dip in major releases across PlayStation platforms, making MOTORSLICE and Wax Heads the primary draws for players seeking new content during this seven-day stretch.
