Exclusive: Dates Revealed for Highly Anticipated PlayStation State of Play Event!

Highlights

Sony may be planning another PlayStation State of Play showcase in September, which fans eagerly anticipate for updates on games and potential surprise announcements.

The previous State of Play event took place in April, highlighting Final Fantasy 16. In the June PlayStation Showcase, the rumored PlayStation handheld device and other thrilling game announcements were revealed. The recent news about a significant price hike for PlayStation Plus subscriptions suggests the potential anticipation of an upcoming State of Play event, where gamers await further updates and game trailers.

Sony is rumored to be preparing for another PlayStation State of Play showcase in September, following two events held earlier this year. Fans are eagerly anticipating updates on highly anticipated games and potential surprises for the PS5 in the coming fall. The previous State of Play, which focused on Final Fantasy 16, took place in April and was followed by a comprehensive PlayStation Showcase in June. During this showcase, Sony unveiled the long-rumored PlayStation handheld device, known at the time as Project Q. Additionally, exciting announcements were made for games like the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater remake and the release dates for Assassin’s Creed: Mirage and Alan Wake 2. New trailers were also revealed for Spider-Man 2 and Dragon’s Dogma 2, while Bungie announced a revival of its first-person shooter IP called Marathon.

The excitement of these showcases quickly fades, leaving gamers eager for more updates. Recently, fans were informed that the price of a PlayStation Plus subscription will significantly increase starting on September 6. Industry insider Jeff Grubb mentioned rumors of an upcoming PlayStation State of Play on Twitter, suggesting that this announcement serves as a precursor to it.

All three tiers of PS Plus will experience a price hike, with the highest tier, Premium, seeing a massive $40 increase in annual cost. Following this underwhelming announcement, PlayStation gamers are undoubtedly anticipating some positive news from Sony. September is packed with game releases for PS4 and PS5, including Mortal Kombat 1, Neowiz’s Soulslike Lies of P, and the highly successful RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, which has been breaking records since its PC launch in August.

Launching on September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S, the highly anticipated Starfield has generated immense hype. However, many PlayStation console owners may feel excluded from this excitement. To alleviate their concerns, a State of Play showcase could serve as a much-needed source of encouragement. Aside from game trailers and release dates, there is keen anticipation among fans for updates on the PlayStation Portal handheld device. Although priced at $200 and with certain specifications disclosed, an official release date has yet to be confirmed.
