Sony announces new PlayStation State of Play for June 2026

Sony kicks off the summer gaming season with a 60-minute PS5 showcase

Summer gaming season is almost here, and it looks like PlayStation will be first out of the gate. Sony Interactive Entertainment announced Wednesday that a new State of Play games showcase is coming on June 2, and it will offer an extended look at Insomniac Games' upcoming superhero game, Marvel's Wolverine.

PlayStation's new State of Play will stream on Tuesday, June 2. The showcase promises "more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world," said Tim Turi, content communications manager at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The next State of Play will stream on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels at 2 p.m. PDT / 5 p.m. EDT / 11 p.m. CEST (and at 6 a.m. JST on June 3 in Japan).

What to expect from June's State of Play

Beyond Marvel's Wolverine, Sony hasn't confirmed any other PlayStation 5 games for June's State of Play. SIE's first-party studios have a handful of announced games in the works, including Santa Monica Studio's God of War trilogy remake, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Guerrilla Games' Horizon Hunters Gathering. Sony is also rumored to be working on a new God of War spinoff game and a modern version of the Infamous franchise.

Sony's most recent State of Play was in February and featured third-party games like Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Beast of Reincarnation, Kena: Scars of Kosmora, Silent Hill: Downfall, Project Windless, 4:Loop, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. While PlayStation fans shouldn't expect major updates on every one of those titles, there's a good chance we get another look at them or some confirmed release dates. Here's a recap of everything that was announced at February's State of Play.

In terms of third parties, we're still waiting for updates on games from Sony's close partners, including Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake's third chapter, and Capcom's new Onimusha and Mega Man entries.

One thing we shouldn't count on at this State of Play, though: more single-player PC ports of first-party PlayStation 5 games.
