PlayStation State of Play: What It Is and Why It Matters
Every few months Sony rolls out a live event called State of Play. It’s a short, packed show that drops new game footage, release dates and surprise announcements. If you love PlayStation, missing a State of Play means you could miss out on the next big thing you’ll be playing.
How to Watch the Next Live Stream
State of Play streams on the official PlayStation YouTube channel and on the PlayStation Blog. You can also catch it on Twitch or through the PlayStation app on your console. Turn on notifications a day before the event so you don’t have to scramble for a link.
During the stream, Sony usually shows three to four game segments. Each segment runs 1‑2 minutes, so the whole show lasts about 20‑30 minutes. That makes it easy to fit into a busy day.
What Fans Can Expect From Recent Shows
Recent State of Play events have given us a look at titles like "Horizon Forbidden West" expansions, brand‑new indie releases, and surprise DLC for popular franchises. The reveal of a brand‑new IP can send the PlayStation Store buzzing for weeks.
One thing fans love is the “surprise slot” where Sony drops an unexpected title. It could be a sequel to a cult favorite or a brand‑new game from a studio that just signed a deal with PlayStation.
Another highlight is the “release calendar” segment. Sony lines up upcoming launch dates, so you can plan which games to pre‑order or add to your wishlist.

Whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore collector, staying on top of State of Play helps you decide where to spend your money. Knowing about a new game early lets you plan your budget and avoid last‑minute price spikes.
