The latest PlayStation State of Play is kicking off today, getting Summer Game Fest off a little earlier than we might have expected. Sony’s 40-minute extravaganza was a last-minute addition to the Summer Game Fest schedule 2025, but with Xbox making its appearance later this weekend, it’s nice to see PlayStation making its presence felt too.

We’ve been promised a 40-minute show, offering up “news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5.” Unlike some other recent shows, this is a worldwide show with entries from “creators across the globe,” so there won’t be a focus on developers from, say, Japan.

We’ve not got a huge amount of info about what to expect tonight. We do know that it’s not a full-blown PlayStation Showcase – those are Sony’s real blockbuster shows, and while State of Play broadcasts have their moments, they don’t have quite the same weight of expectation around them. I think Sony’s use of ‘must-play’ is different to the language it usually uses, so perhaps we’re in store for a couple of interesting world premieres?
