PlayStation’s State of Play presentations have evolved into must-watch showcases for players looking to track the platform’s upcoming roadmap. Whether it’s surprise reveals, deeper gameplay demonstrations, or long-awaited release dates, these broadcasts often provide one of the clearest snapshots of where the PlayStation ecosystem is heading next. Now, Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially announced a new State of Play and early details suggest this one could be larger than usual.
What will be shown at Play of State?
Sony confirmed that the broadcast will run for more than 60 minutes, signaling a content-heavy presentation rather than a short update cycle. Longer formats typically allow publishers to move beyond quick trailers and instead showcase extended gameplay segments, developer insights, and more substantial looks at upcoming projects.
The company also emphasized that the event will feature announcements and updates from studios across the globe, reinforcing PlayStation’s increasingly international development network. This global mix has become a defining strength for the platform, blending large-scale productions with creative projects from emerging teams.
In terms of content, viewers can expect a strong focus on PS5 third-party titles and indie games. This approach reflects a broader industry reality: while first-party exclusives often dominate headlines, third-party partnerships and independent productions play a critical role in maintaining a steady release cadence throughout the year.
When is the State of Play?
Sony has officially scheduled the upcoming State of Play for February 12, with the broadcast set to begin at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 11 PM CET. As with previous showcases, the presentation is expected to stream through PlayStation’s official digital channels, making it easily accessible for viewers worldwide.
With a packed runtime and a global slate of updates on the horizon, this State of Play could offer one of the clearest looks yet at PlayStation’s upcoming pipeline. Whether it delivers major reveals or focuses on strengthening the near-term lineup, expectations are already beginning to build.
