Mad Max PS4 is the open-world action game from Avalanche Studios, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and first released on 31 August 2015. You play as Max, a lone survivor in a post-apocalyptic Wasteland where a working vehicle decides who lives. After his Interceptor is stolen, Max teams up with a mechanic called Chumbucket to build a new war car, the Magnum Opus, and use it to reach the Plains of Silence. This is the PlayStation Hits edition on a physical PS4 disc: the full game in the red-banner Hits case, rated PEGI 18 for violence and language, and made for one player.

Build the Magnum Opus
The car is the heart of Mad Max PS4. Warner Bros. describes a system where you choose a chassis and then add mounted weapons, armour and engines, and every choice changes how the car handles. A heavier armour package survives more rammings but turns more slowly; a stronger engine wins chases but can make the car harder to control. As you clear missions and scavenge the Wasteland you unlock more parts, so the Magnum Opus grows from a fragile shell into a heavily armed war machine. Much of the game is spent behind the wheel, so players who enjoy tuning a vehicle to their own style get the most out of it.
Vehicle combat and on-foot fights
Mad Max PS4 mixes two kinds of fighting. On the road, physics-based vehicle combat lets you ram, shoot and drag enemy cars apart while rival convoys chase you across the dunes. On foot, Max fights in close-quarters melee, combining punches, counters and finishing moves with limited gunplay, because ammunition is scarce in this world. Warner Bros. sums it up as a blend of melee, gunplay and tactical techniques. Switching between the two keeps the pace varied: you storm an enemy camp on foot, then jump back into the car to chase down a convoy carrying the parts you need.
A large, hostile open world
Avalanche Studios, the team behind the Just Cause series, built the Wasteland on its own Avalanche Engine, which is designed for very large open worlds. The map is full of ruins left from the world before the collapse, enemy strongholds, scrap sites and hidden supplies. The land itself is dangerous: Warner Bros. lists treacherous terrain, hostile weather and deadly marauders among the threats, and you must keep Max supplied with water and fuel while you explore. Rival factions fight for control of each region, and weakening their hold makes the area safer and opens up more of the map for you to scavenge.
What the PlayStation Hits edition means
PlayStation Hits is Sony’s label for popular PS4 games re-released at a lower price. The game on this disc is Mad Max PS4 itself, the same full single-player campaign, in the Hits case with its red banner. It is a physical disc, so there is no download code to redeem and you can lend it or keep it on the shelf. The game needs a PS4 or a PS5 with a disc drive. Online features are no longer part of the package: PlayStation’s store page notes that the game’s online functionality ended on 31 October 2020, which does not affect the story campaign.
Playing Mad Max PS4 on PS5
Yes, the disc runs on a PS5 with a disc drive through backward compatibility. PlayStation says the console may need the latest system software update and that some PS4 features may not be available when a PS4 game runs on PS5. Mad Max PS4 is a PS4 title, so there is no separate PS5 version on this disc and no free PS5 upgrade. The PS5 Digital Edition has no drive and cannot read this disc unless you fit the separately sold PS5 disc drive. Controller vibration is supported on the DUALSHOCK 4, according to the PlayStation listing.
Who will enjoy it
Mad Max PS4 suits players who like large open worlds with plenty to clear, such as camps, convoys and scavenging spots, and who enjoy car-based action as much as fist fights. Fans of the films get a story set in the same world, with Max as the lead and an original plot written for the game. It is also a good pick for anyone building a PS4 or PS5 disc library on a budget, since the Hits edition delivers the complete game at a lower price than the original release. The rating is PEGI 18, so it is a game for adults.
Who This Is Not For
Mad Max PS4 is not for younger players: it carries a PEGI 18 rating for violence and strong language. It is single-player only, with no co-op, split-screen or online multiplayer, and its online functions ended in 2020. Players who dislike repeating similar tasks such as clearing camps and collecting scrap may find the open world repetitive. It is a PS4 game with no native PS5 version, and it cannot be played on a PS5 Digital Edition without the separate disc drive.
