Sony’s State of Play events have kept fans engaged and excited for the latest in gaming since the series began in 2019. Now, with several exciting updates already shared in 2024, fans may wonder when the next event will be and what reveals could be on the way. As we approach the end of the year, here’s what you can expect from Sony’s next PlayStation showcase.
When to expect the next State of Play
2024 we’ve already seen several State of Play events, but Sony may wait until early 2025 to host the next showcase. The most recent event occurred on September 24, 2024, leaving fans speculating how much time might pass until the next big PlayStation news drop. With Sony’s new PS5 Pro console launch in focus, there’s a clear demand for more game updates to match the enhanced performance of this mid-generation console upgrade. However, Sony will likely hold off on a major event until it has a robust lineup to reveal.
Sony tends to announce State of Play events with little notice, so keep an eye on the PlayStation Blog and official social media channels for announcements. If you’re hoping for more updates soon, remember that these events typically occur every few months, so a new showcase could still be just around the corner.
What was revealed at the last event
The September 24 State of Play featured some major updates for popular franchises and gave fans a look at what’s to come for PS5 and PS VR2. The biggest reveal of the night was the new Ghost of Yōtei, the next game in the beloved Ghost of Tsushima series, which drew plenty of excitement and attention. In addition to Ghost of Yōtei, Sony confirmed release dates for two highly anticipated titles: Monster Hunter Wilds and Lego Horizon Adventures. These announcements were a hit with fans, showing that Sony is keeping its focus on both innovative games and fan-favourite franchises.
Other highlights included fresh trailers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard and gameplay footage from various titles running on the PS5 Pro. For those who missed the event, Sony has posted a complete recap on the PlayStation Blog, where you can catch up on the trailers and announcements that have set the stage for an exciting lineup of games in 2024 and beyond.
What might be coming in the next showcase
As Sony continues to develop and promote the PS5 Pro, upcoming State of Play events will likely feature even more gameplay updates and exclusives designed to showcase the Pro’s enhanced graphics and performance capabilities.
While PlayStation Showcase events typically cover blockbuster reveals, State of Play focuses more on third-party games, indie titles, and updates on PS5 VR. You can expect an exciting mix of indie games, VR content, and smaller hardware updates or accessories like new headsets or controllers rather than major console announcements.
Until then, PlayStation fans can expect ongoing announcements about upcoming games and updates through the PlayStation Blog and other official channels.
