AAA games make the briefest of appearances in the list of new PS5 and PS4 games for the week of May 20, 2024, but there are still plenty of other games if that one doesn’t take your fancy. That’d be XDefiant, Ubisoft’s free-to-play, first-person arena shooter. Other highlights include the much-delayed System Shock and turn-based tactics and strategy game Crown Wars: The Black Prince.

A total of 19 games are coming to PS5 this week, while PS4 players get a slightly shorter list of 16 titles. XDefiant is the biggest game of the week, although it will no longer be released on PS4 as originally planned. The delayed arena shooter uses characters from many of the publisher’s other franchises as team factions.
Another often delayed game that finally crosses the finishing line this week is System Shock. The rebooted shooter has been in development for at least nine years. Meanwhile, players take on knights and brigands during the War of Crowns in Crown Wars: The Black Prince. Finally, PSVR 2 players get one new game this week — Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye — where robo-detective Philip Log is searching for automated femme fatale Jenny Montage.
