PlayStation Fans Rejoice: Second Showcase Set for 2023!

According to an industry insider, Sony is reportedly planning another PlayStation Showcase in 2023. This comes after the mixed reception of their last showcase, which left fans with unanswered questions. Unlike their more frequent State of Play streams, PlayStation Showcases are reserved for Sony's biggest and most content-rich events. The anticipation for the May 24th showcase was particularly high, as the previous one had occurred almost two years prior. However, the showcase was met with criticism from some fans due to various reasons, such as the announcement that many of the showcased games would also be coming to Xbox.

According to industry sources, Sony is reportedly planning a second PlayStation Showcase for later this year, in addition to the recent big showing. This information comes from known leaker Colin Moriarty, who has a history of major scoops, including being the first to report the title of Assassin's Creed Mirage. While his claims cannot be confirmed, recent reports suggest that Sony may have held back during their last showcase. However, the ideal window for Sony to hold another event in 2023 seems narrow, with late summer or early fall being the likeliest time. It is speculated that the upcoming showcase will focus on detailing recently unveiled PlayStation games, rather than announcing new ones.

The games showcased at the previous PlayStation event lacked information on their release dates, making it highly unlikely for them to launch this year. As a result, it is improbable for Sony to have any significant imminent releases to present during the Q4 season of 2023. This makes the third quarter of the year the most probable time for another PlayStation Showcase, which will likely feature highly anticipated projects, including the Silent Hill 2 remake, Naughty Dog's upcoming title, and the games teased during the May 24th stream.
