After the post-fiscal year madness of April 2017, the PlayStation 4 release date slate for May 2017 is much quieter. That's not to say there are an absence of games to pad the time prior to E3 2017, though, with some fairly big titles like Prey, Injustice 2, and RiME due out. In the PlayStation VR space, Sony's launching a big game in Farpoint, and there are also the likes of Star Trek: Bridge Crew and GNOG for virtual reality fans to look forward to.

Isn't Wipeout this month too?
Human Fall Flat was just revealed to be releasing next month on the PlayStation blog
@themcnoisy June.
@Simon_Fitzgerald Thanks, added.
Prey looks to be my main purchase in May.
I done a rhyme lol
Portal Knights isn't out till the 19th for uk and 20 something for us. God it come come fast enough haha the demo is ace!!
@get2sammyb nooooooooooooooo. You've just ruined my day. May as well order nex machina now instead.
@TrueAssassin86x A shocker given your post history.
Ruper Rude Bear feels like a PS+ game!
I want Injustice, but most probably will kip it since i need 100 euros for the full game. Will wait for a good discount or the GOTY edition.
Most problaly I will spend this month with Marvel Heroes.
@TrueAssassin86x Why don't you keep telling yourself that instead of boring the rest of us with it?
Hmmmm.... looks like I'll be tackling the backlog then. That's far from a complaint though! I'm going for another run through Witcher 3 with the latest patch, The Last of Us on hard (I'm too much of a coward to tackle grounded), Bioshock 2, FINALLY getting some time in with Salt and Sanctuary.... good times.
I'm also considering doing Macmillan Game Heroes, streaming for 24 hours straight for charity. Still working out details on that.
@TrueAssassin86x
Ive been playing playstation since 1996 a time where xbox was not even thought about. Mind you im no fanboy but as a brand playstation is far more the way to go at least here in Europe.
@get2sammyb
The surge Get even, for my playing time im a father of 3 being interested in 6 games a month is more than enough.
@get2sammyb Nex machina may 23rd is just a placeholder date, HM said they are aiming for summer release. Curious about strafe.
Looks like a quiet month for me - I have the Witcher 3 Game of the Year edition to keep me busy... Saving money for the Scorpio and holiday games anyway so not a bad thing....
I only want locoroco remaster and maybe nex machina if the game's good, I think my wallet is safe in may.
@wiiware Knock it off with the fanboy nonsense -Tasuki-
Ok guys let's not feed the troll please. He's been dealt with.
RiMe is the only one on my radar right now. I hope it turns out well!
@Constable_What Also, Other Constable What, you forgot to mention that you'll be picking up the Surge this May. I bet the Push Square community really really cares about that!
Why yes! I did neglect to mention that! How incredibly and utterly donkeybrained of me. Thanks other Constable What!
Don't mention it, other Constable What!
GNOG and RiME for me.
The only game for me this month is the ultimate edition of Injustice 2. I've got so much Persona and Horizon still to do without getting to Yooka-Laylee, Digimon World Next, For Honor and Attack on Titan still. Good gravy gaming is tough now to find time for everything.
Nex Machina for me, hopefully it's a return to form for Housemarque.
@wiiware If that's the case then why was there an article recently about the Scorpio? Competition is healthy but yeah trolls should be dealt with if they arise.
I'm an Xbox One owner and currently don't own a PS4 so does that mean I shouldn't be on this site? After the demise of sister site Purexbox I'm sure this site would welcome as much visitors/members as it can get I'd imagine, regardless of what system they own.
I'm interested in Rime,Uterwarerumono and Summon Night 6 for me in May.been too long since I played a srpg
@TrueAssassin86x cool cool I knew it was the 20 something haha Thanks
Ok I am done with the arguing here. Keep the comments on hand with the article.
The comment section is not a place to start fanboy nonsense. Everyone is welcome here regardless of what console, brand etc they have support, as long as they can follow the rules. Not person that plays the fanboy stuff will be gone.
Consider this a warning.
Nothing of interest for me this month. I have DQH2 coming in a few days which will keep me entertained through next month. If not, still have some backlog gems stashed away ^^
Is nba playgrounds out on ps4 in may? Need my nba jam fix, been cold turkey this gen
@adf86 nex machina is not releasing in may I'm afraid, see my comment above. I wasn't a fan of alienation but i'm hoping it is as good or better than resogun.
I will be passing on all of these. With backlogs on several systems I don't really need anything beyond the essentials, that right now on PS4 are Crash N. Sane and Battlefront 2 in November.
I'm interested in quite a few of these. Personally really looking forward to LocoRoco Remastered and GNOG, but Prey looks awesome, too. And obviously I'm eager to try Farpoint on PSVR.
Samurai Warriors for me, bet no one saw that coming.
Injustice 2 for me
@ShogunRok I'm getting it too.
We should start a club.
@Enuo I've been trying to start a Push Square Weeb Corner for years but no one takes me seriously.
Prey and Rime assuming they end up being as good as they look
@ShogunRok You're not alone friend.
Farpoint PSVR for me. Fingers crossed it doesn't stink.
Nioh DLC for me!
@get2sammyb Tumbleseed is releasing 2nd May
At last a light month for me and will probably only pick up Rime if it scores well. Other than that my backlog's bigger than ever so time to catch up I think...
Definitely a catch-up month for me, thankfully! Some good games here but nothing I feel compelled to pick up straight away.
Nioh DLC is coming. That's gonna take my time and a lot of lives. #NiohGOTYCompetitor
Tempted to get Nex Machina on release. And maybe Rime if it reviews well.
I plan on picking up Injustice 2 which will be my first day one fighting game purchase this gen. It would have been Street Fight if Capcom hadn't pulled a Capcom.
You know it's been a good year when a month containing Prey, Rime, and Injustice 2 is considered really slow.
Is prey a remake, reboot or something "new"?
@DestinationPs Something new I think.
NBA playgrounds and Nex Machina for me. Ofc, my decision depends on ps+ sales too 😉
Got my fingers crossed for The Surge being amazing.... I've been fantasising about a sci-fi souls since bloodborne...
Played the prey demo and it was awesome
NBA Playgrounds.... should be fun
Everyone should look into Tumbleseed, its crazy hard and i cant wait to get my hands on it!
