Sony aired a State of Play event in June, meaning we may not be getting one for a little while. Still, there’s sure to be more of them by the end of the year, and thankfully we do know there will be a bespoke presentation for an upcoming PS5 exclusive at some point this month.
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 initial reveal of Saros, debut gameplay footage for Death Stranding 2, 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.
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. Here’s what we know.
When is the next Sony State of Play?
There’s no info on when to expect the next Sony State of Play, and considering we just had one on June 4, we could be waiting a while. There was a Ghost of Yotei-focused gameplay showcase to enjoy earlier in July, which showed off gameplay and the open world design for the first time.

What can we expect from the next Sony State of Play?
We just had a State of Play event focusing on 007 First Light, Sword and the Sea, as well as a bunch of other announcements. That means we’ll be waiting a while for the next one, though I’d expect to see more on Marathon, Ghost of Yōtei, and perhaps even Saros, the next game from Returnal developer Housemarque that’s due in 2026. We’ll have to wait and see.
