ELI5: Why are video games/dlc's primarily released on weekdays?

I mean, wouldn't it be smarter to release it on a Friday or something so people can play it all weekend?

There's a few good reasons. There's better media coverage during the week, so you're more likely to get press for your release than you would over the weekend. Second, a lot of times with game releases, there's server issues/emergency patches as problems become apparent when a large number of players come online at once. The first few days after launch are generally pretty busy for the dev team, and they'd probably prefer to be doing that work during the week rather than the weekend. 

And if you release a game on Tuesday, people can still play it all weekend, they just have to wait a few days first.
