Sony State of Play: when is the next PlayStation event and what to expect?
Sony State of Play is a semi-regular digital event, showcasing the latest and greatest PlayStation news, updates, reveals and announcements.
Since the showcase began back in 2019, we've seen Sony use State of Play to reveal The Last of Us 2 release date, debut gameplay footage for Ghost of Tsushima, and drop new trailers for games including Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Returnal. So it's always worth tuning in to the State of Play livestreams if you want to be alerted to any big announcements for PS5 games, PSVR games and PS4 games.
Sony's last State of Play event took place on July 8, and focussed on the upcoming FPS, Deathloop as well as showcasing several indie titles. As for the next State of Play, we don't yet know when the next one will be and we probably won't know until it's almost here.
Here's everything you need to know about Sony State of Play.
When is the next Sony State of Play?
Sony has not yet confirmed when its next State of Play event will take place, and predicting when an announcement will come is tricky. The last State of Play was on July 8 2021, a date completely separate from either of the huge E3 2021 or Summer Game Fest events that took place recently. This shows Sony has its own plan and won't blindly follow the rest of the gaming industry on when to make announcements.
So far this year we've seen State of Plays take place on February 25, April 29, and May 27. This sporadic, yet frequent release schedule indicates that we will likely get at least one if not two more State of Plays in what remains of 2021.
Last year, the interim between these showcases was filled with some PS5 specific events meaning that State of Play events were a little less more spaced out. Without a console to announce this year (as far as we know) Sony's gaming events are sticking to a roughly two to three-month schedule.
What can we expect from the next Sony State of Play?
Because we don't know when the State of Play will be taking place, we also can't predict exactly what we will see. Highly anticipated titles like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok are sure to get their own showcase at some point, but we'll have to wait a little longer to know for sure.
The last State of Play on July 8 focussed on smaller games, like Deathloop and indie titles. This shows that blockbusters aren't the only games that will headline the event. This means that other PS5 exclusives like Stray (that one about the cat) and Ghostwire: Tokyo could get their own State of Play showcase too.
We'll likely also hear more about Sony's PSVR 2 at a State of Play (or similar) event. We'll just have to wait and see what Sony announces next.
What was revealed at the last Sony State of Play?
Sony's last State of Play took place on July 8 and focused on Deathloop, giving us an even more in-depth look at gameplay and what players will be faced with when it launches. We also saw several indies too, with trailers for Sifu and Moss 2.
The State of Play before that on May 27 and focused solely on Horizon Forbidden West. The showcase featured 14 minutes of gameplay from the highly-anticipated sequel and, while we didn't get a release date, we did get our best look at some of Aloy's new abilities and some of the new machines she'll be facing off against. You can check out the gameplay trailer above.
