PlayStation State of Play – What to Expect

Opening the show is Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games. Sony has confirmed you’ll get a deeper look at Logan’s brutal and relentless combat alongside some fresh new details. The game launches exclusively on PS5 on September 15. Beyond Wolverine, Sony has a stacked lineup of first-party projects and third-party games with several feeling ready for the spotlight. Here’s what could show up:

First-Party Projects

Third-Party Games

Third-party publishers have a problem this year, and that problem is called GTA 6. With Rockstar’s beast landing on November 19, 2026 (official countdown timer for GTA 6), every other publisher is scrambling to avoid getting crushed by it. Expect a wave of release date announcements as studios position themselves safely away from November. Here are the third-party games most likely to appear:

Capcom Rumors to Watch

There’s heavy chatter around Capcom this season. Rumors point to a Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake possibly being teased, along with whispers of a Resident Evil Zero remake in development. Don’t expect both to land at State of Play, but one teaser feels plausible.

Final Fantasy 7 Part 3

Rumors suggest the third part of the FF7 remake trilogy, possibly titled Final Fantasy 7 Reunion or similar, could be revealed during this showcase season. Sony loves Final Fantasy, so a State of Play debut would make sense before Summer Game Fest gets a crack at it.

The upcoming PlayStation State of Play is shaping up to be one of the more interesting showcases in recent memory, mostly because every publisher is dancing around GTA 6’s November release. That pressure forces studios to commit to dates and show real footage, which is great news for fans.
