A total of 25 games are coming to PS5 this week, while PS4 players get a shorter list of 17 titles. Madden NFL 25 is the biggest game of the week, but while the football game is coming to both PS5 and PS4, only PS5 players will be able to benefit from the new dynamic physics-based tackling system called BOOM Tech.
PvPvE extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown 1896 will be coming to PS5 on August 15 with a massive overhaul, including a completely new area. The bad news is that support for the PS4 version of the game will end on the same day. Meanwhile, the final season of Sam & Max, The Devil’s Playhouse, gets the remaster treatment with updated graphics and the reintroduction of cut content.
Finally, PSVR players do get one new game this week in the form of Compound, a randomized, rogue-lite, free-roaming shooter that pits players against The Corporation.
