Sony has officially announced a brand-new PlayStation State of Play event for June 2026, and it is already shaping up to be one of the company’s biggest showcases in recent years. The presentation will take place on Tuesday, June 2, as part of this year’s Summer Game Fest celebrations. According to Sony, the livestream will run for more than one hour and will feature major PS5 game reveals, gameplay updates, and announcements from studios around the world.
The event will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch. It begins at 2:00 PM PT, 5:00 PM ET, and 11:00 PM CEST, while viewers in Japan can watch it on June 3 at 6:00 AM JST. Sony also confirmed that the main broadcast will be in English with Japanese subtitles available.
Marvel’s Wolverine Takes Center Stage
The biggest attraction of the showcase will be Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games. Sony confirmed that the event will include a deeper gameplay presentation focused on Logan’s brutal combat style and new story details. Fans are expecting extended gameplay footage and fresh updates ahead of the game’s release on September 15, 2026, exclusively for PS5.
Marvel’s Wolverine has been one of the most anticipated PlayStation exclusives since its original reveal, making this deep dive one of the most important parts of the event.
More PS5 Reveals and Rumored Announcements
Sony also teased several additional game announcements and gameplay showcases during the presentation. Rumors suggest possible appearances from titles such as God of War featuring Faye, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet from Naughty Dog, and even updates on Phantom Blade Zero.
Third-party publishers could also bring major reveals. Fans are hoping to see games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, Far Cry 7, and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. There are also rumors that GTA 6 could appear due to PlayStation’s reported marketing partnership with Take-Two.
