Guide: These 12+ New PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out This Week (4th-10th May)
This week marks one of the slowest periods of the year for PlayStation game releases, with a notably limited lineup coming to PS5 and PS4 between May 4th and 10th. Among the sparse selection, a few titles stand out as worthy of attention. MOTORSLICE, releasing May 5th for PS5, is a parkour platformer and action-adventure that challenges players to navigate through the ruins of a megastructure, climb massive bosses, and hunt down construction equipment. The game promises “immaculate vibes” and appears to blend stylish parkour gameplay with slice-of-life storytelling.
Also arriving May 5th is Wax Heads, another PS5 exclusive, which takes a cozy-punk narrative approach to an unusual premise: working in a struggling record store. Players will interact with quirky customers who have distinct musical tastes and explore a handcrafted record collection throughout the experience.
Additionally, Mixtape is highlighted as a strong coming-of-age story game, though further details remain limited in this announcement.
Beyond new releases, PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers will have access to a selection of new titles this week, providing alternative entertainment options during this quieter release period. The lack of major AAA releases makes it an ideal opportunity for players to catch up on their backlog or explore indie and smaller-scale offerings.
