We’ve already had a few State of Play events to enjoy so far in 2024, but there’s likely even more on the way. Given that we just had one, however, it’s likely that we may be in for a bit of a wait.
Following the recent PS5 Pro announcement in a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation on September 10, all eyes have turned back to the next State of Play - a new console will need new games to play on it, after all, even if it is a mid-gen refresh machine.
Since the series of shows began in 2019,Sonyhas used the State of Play presentations to reveal big-hitting games and details such asThe Last of Us 2release date, debut gameplay footage forGhost of Tsushima, and more. So, it’s always worth tuning in to the State of Play live streams if you want to be alerted to any big announcements fornew PS5 games.
When is the next Sony State of Play?
The next State of Play event has yet to be revealed.We only just had one air, on September 24, 2024, so it could be a few months before we see another. Stay tuned for updates.
What can we expect from the next Sony State of Play?
Sony State of Play events have become quite hard to predict over the years. Generally, they focus on PS5 and VR, with third-party announcements making up the bulk of the show. At times, larger games have been announced via these events, but mostly, these are reserved for PlayStation Showcase events. Similarly, major hardware announcements are unlikely to appear at a State of Play, but you might see smaller accessories like new headsets and devices like PlayStation Portal.
We’re quietly hopeful for some chunky updates on DLC forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, perhaps another look atDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach, or maybe even a look atMarvel’s Wolverine.
What was revealed at the last Sony State of Play?
The last State of Play was on September 24, 2024. The biggest reveal wasGhost of Yōtei, which is the next game in theGhost of Tsushimaseries. In addition, the release dates forMonster Hunter WildsandLego Horizon Adventureswere announced. We saw another look at some games running on the PS5 Pro, as well as a new trailer forDragonAge: The Veilguard.
