There Are No Major AAA Games Out This Week, Thank God

Welcome back to This Week In Games Australia, your look at everything you’ll be playing in the next seven days.

We’re entering the first week of May and there are no major AAA games out this week. Well, except for Sea of Thieves, which makes its debut on PS5. It is, however, a port and has been available on Xbox for about six years, so it doesn’t count. Other than that, it’s all AAs and indies, and you know what that means: the traditional mid-year quiet period for blockbusters is approaching. It’s that wonderful time of year when we get a moment to breathe and tick a few games off our piles of shame.

Below, you’ll find this week’s releases. There’s some great stuff here! I am sure you will find something of interest.
