How to Watch the PlayStation State of Play Event
Since PlayStation State of Play is a digital event, you don’t need to buy tickets. Visit Sony’s official social media channels to start streaming when the show begins. That said, you can watch the September 2026 State of Play via the official PlayStation YouTube and PlayStation Twitch channels.
What to Expect from PlayStation State of Play September 2026 Event?
PlayStation hasn’t confirmed the September 2026 State of Play’s duration or the games appearing during the event, except for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation closing the showcase. This means you can expect an in-depth look at the FF7 Revelation gameplay and an official reveal at the release date.
On the other hand, there have been whispers that Naughty Dog’s next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, could make its highly anticipated appearance following its reveal at The Game Awards 2024.
Santa Monica has already announced God of War Laufey’s release date for February 16, 2027, so pre-orders could go live if the game appears during the show. All eyes are currently on PlayStation’s biggest release this year, Marvel’s Wolverine, so you can expect a launch trailer to debut during the event.
PlayStation stated in its State of Play blog that the event will include new updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners worldwide, along with deep dives into upcoming games from studios in Japan and Asia. So, a Phantom Blade Zero demo would be the icing on the cake.
We’d recommend tempering your expectations and not expecting games like the God of War Trilogy Remake or GTA 6. However, Sony could surprise us all. That said, are you looking forward to the new State of Play event? Tell us in the comments section below.
