Today marks the highly anticipated September 24th PlayStation State of Play presentation, showcasing more than 20 games in just over 30 minutes. Sony fans weren’t too pleased with the PlayStation 5 Pro presentation. They are expecting good announcements with this event. Starting at 11 AM UK time, gamers around the world will be tuning in to see what PlayStation 5 and PS VR 2 games are on the horizon.
For those who want to catch the action live, YouTube and Twitch will be the go-to platforms. The YouTube placeholder page is already available for viewers. It’s a little late for UK gamers, but the show is short and now that Sony is expected to announce some good stuff, it’s worth staying up for.
What will the PlayStation State of Play event in September bring?
Unlike other lengthy gaming showcases, this State of Play will clock in at just over 30 minutes. Sony has a reputation for keeping things tight and focused, as seen in previous presentations. The last State of Play, held in May, lasted just 35 minutes. This time, we’re expecting a similarly concise show. Given Sony’s knack for keeping the details under wraps, there’s still an element of mystery about what will be unveiled.
Although we know the runtime, Sony’s secrecy ensures that there could be a surprise or two. So whether you’re planning to tune in live or catch the highlights later, the short runtime means you won’t need to sacrifice your whole night.
What games might hit the spotlight?
With more than 20 games taking part in the event, fans can expect new trailers, updates on release dates, and perhaps a few unexpected announcements. Rumors are circulating about potential PlayStation 5 remasters of iconic titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. Originally released on PS4, these games are staples of the PlayStation series, and updated versions could bring these fan favorites to a new audience. However, nothing has been confirmed, so fans will have to watch and see. In addition to remakes, there is speculation that third-party developers will come forward with new releases. Could a brand-new game surprise us all? It’s possible, but Sony isn’t saying anything yet.
Trailers that might steal the show
State of Play comes on the heels of the PlayStation 5 Pro announcement, which will launch on November 7th. Priced at £699.99 without a disk drive, the PS5 Pro promises upgraded performance and fans can’t wait to see trailers showing off its capabilities.
While Sony has already highlighted first-party games during the PS5 Pro’s launch, State of Play will likely offer clues as to how third-party titles are shaping up for the new hardware. No exclusive games have been announced for the PS5 Pro at launch so far. That may be the surprise.
But don’t worry if the PS5 Pro isn’t on your wish list; there’s plenty more to come. Fans can also expect updates on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Death Stranding 2, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Could we even see a surprise from Silent Hill 2? The possibilities are endless.
While most of the focus is on existing games, PlayStation State of Play is known for throwing a few curveballs. PlayStation fans are tired of remakes and updates and want to see new games and the power of the 5 series. We may also hear news of new collaborations.
