What to expect
What was shown at the last event?

We've already had a few State of Play events to enjoy so far in 2024, but with the year winding down, we may need to set our sights on 2025 for the next showcase. Given that we just had one, it's likely that we may be in for a bit of a wait.

Following the release of the PS5 Pro console, 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, Sony has used the State of Play presentations to reveal big-hitting games and details such as The Last of Us 2 release date, debut gameplay footage for Ghost 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 for new PS5 games.

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 Ghost of Yotei, perhaps another look at Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, or maybe even a look at Marvel's Wolverine.

The last State of Play was on September 24, 2024. The biggest reveal was Ghost of Yōtei, which is the next game in the Ghost of Tsushima series. In addition, the release dates for Monster Hunter Wilds and Lego Horizon Adventures were announced. We saw another look at some games running on the PS5 Pro, as well as a new trailer for DragonAge: The Veilguard.

You can head to the PS Blog for a full round-up of what was shown in those recent shows. Missed the action live? We've embedded the showcase below so you can catch up on everything you missed.
