PlayStation State of Play 2026: Start Time, Expected Games, and More

As most fans will know, the quarterly State of Play presentations are basically the only occasions where we hear from PlayStation on its upcoming releases. The publisher no longer organises summer showcases as it used to during E3’s heyday, now relying on shorter, more cost-effective-effective presentations to do the trick.

Nevertheless, the announcement of a State of Play always leads to a rush of excitement within the fanbase, who waste no time in drawing up wishlists of the games they’d like to see. In recent days, rumors surrounding a February State of Play had caught fire, prompting PlayStation to finally confirm the event. With this in mind, we’ve put together a guide on the February State of Play, including its broadcast date, time, and expected games.

How to Watch PlayStation State of Play Event

As always, State of Play will be livestreamed on PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. The streams typically go live 30 minutes, as exemplified by the previous State of Play, before the scheduled kick-off time. So, be sure to tune in early and chat with fellow players.

Every Expected Game to Be Announced at State of Play

Considering this is the first State of Play for 2026, it isn’t difficult to predict which titles will be present at the event. With a chunk of the year still to come, PlayStation will undoubtedly shine a light on its already announced tentpole releases as well as major third-party games that fans are excited for. With that in mind, here’s every game that we expect to see during the showcase:

• Saros
• Marvel’s Wolverine
• Devil May Cry 6
• Resident Evil Requiem
• Death Stranding 2 PC port

As seen above, some of the biggest 2026 game releases are likely to be present at the event. This includes PlayStation exclusives such as Saros and Wolverine. We expect the former to receive an extended gameplay presentation, while Insomniac’s latest adventure could get a release date confirmation.

Additionally, we’ll likely get a final look at Resident Evil Requiem to generate some hype before its February 27 release. Speaking of Capcom, recent rumors have suggested that the publisher is all set to unveil Devil May Cry 6 at the upcoming event. As far as development timelines are concerned, it certainly makes sense for DMC 6 to be showcase-ready by now. But of course, it’s best to take this leak with a grain of salt.

Lastly, Hideo Kojima recently posted images of himself working on something Death Stranding 2-related. Details on what exactly he’s cooking up are scarce, although we predict that it’ll end up being a PC port for the critically-acclaimed walking-sim.

And that is everything you need to know about the latest 2026 State of Play presentation. Let us know if you’ll be tuning into the event in the comments.
