According to a reliable industry insider, there are rumors circulating about Sony’s plans for a PlayStation State of Play livestream next month. This would represent the fifth State of Play presentation of 2025, likely showcasing what PlayStation has lined up for the upcoming year.
Over the course of 2025, Sony has already hosted two general State of Play broadcasts, revealing numerous titles and updates for games on PS4, PS5, and PC. The company also had a dedicated broadcast for Borderlands 4 at the end of April and another for Ghost of Yotei in mid-July. With the year’s end fast approaching, PlayStation enthusiasts are anticipating announcements for the PS5 games lineup for 2026 and potential titles that may be unveiled.
Expected State of Play or PlayStation Showcase
In a recent episode of the Game Mess Mornings podcast, Jeff Grubb expressed his confidence that Sony aims to hold a State of Play or PlayStation Showcase livestream around late September. Grubb has accurately predicted past State of Play events, lending credibility to this rumor. It’s worth noting that Sony has established a pattern of September State of Play broadcasts in recent years to preview upcoming games.
If Grubb’s timeline is correct, the announcement for this livestream may occur on September 23 or 24, with the broadcast likely scheduled for September 25. Additionally, there’s speculation that this event could feature a larger PlayStation Showcase, typically highlighting significant reveals from major first-party studios. The last PlayStation Showcase took place in May 2023, with the previous one happening back in September 2021.
Anticipated Titles
While the exact nature of this upcoming broadcast remains uncertain, there is speculation that a number of significant first-party games will be featured. Notably, Ghost of Yotei is expected to get a final marketing push ahead of its October 2 launch. Other potential highlights for this September event include gameplay trailers for titles such as Saros, a new look at Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, the rumored 2.5D God of War game, and much-awaited updates regarding Fairgames and Wolverine.
