While this week might bring a smaller selection of new PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 titles compared to previous weeks, gamers can still anticipate a few exciting arrivals.
The PlayStation Network Store will see only five new games added to its library, a relatively modest number compared to the usual weekly releases.
The clear headliner for this period is the latest installment in a beloved and enduring gaming saga.
New PS5, PS4 Games For The Week Of August 4 to August 10
Read on to discover what new experiences await players this week.
Mafia: The Old Country (PS5 – August 8) – Leading the pack is Mafia: The Old Country, the newest chapter in the renowned Mafia series. While not as sprawling as its predecessors, its price point reflects this. Early glimpses from publisher 2K suggest that the game will deliver the engaging and dramatic storylines fans have come to expect.
Here’s a further look at the upcoming PSN releases scheduled between August 4th and August 10th:
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 (PS5, PS5 – August 5) – Step into the shoes of Tanjiro and relive iconic storylines from the anime series, including the Entertainment District Arc, Swordsmith Village Arc, and Hashira Training Arc.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure (PS5 – August 5) – Join Hello Kitty and her friends on a charming open-world adventure! Explore and revitalize a mysterious island while befriending beloved characters, cracking ancient puzzles, creating culinary masterpieces, and personalizing your avatar and living spaces.
Gradius Origins (PS5 – August 7) – This compilation presents 18 versions of all 7 arcade games in the Gradius saga. Furthermore, this includes the very first home console debut of Gradius III AM Show Version. Enhancements consist of helpful additions, such as save states, a rewind feature, and an Invincible Mode. Training Mode allows players to customize aspects like restart locations, loop amounts, and power-up settings to hone their abilities. You can also visit the gallery featuring tracks, art, and more.
Slopecrashers (PS5, PS4 – August 7) – Slopecrashers, an arcade-style snowboarding game, invites you on a global adventure. As a group of wild animals strives to claim the championship, they will soon learn that there is someone else hoping to ruin those plans.
Adding to the excitement, the Battlefield 6 open beta launches this week! Starting August 9th, all players can download and play for free, with early access beginning on August 7th.
The beta will have crossplay features, and EA’s crossplay plans appear promising, even if they don’t fully bridge the gap between all console platforms.
Keep an eye out for more game releases in the coming weeks. Plus, Gamescom is coming up later this month, so there should be a ton of game announcements made.
