This summer, Sony may decide to offer information on forthcoming games during a smaller State of Play event rather than hosting a full-length PlayStation Showcase. According to reports, the corporation has not yet finalised its plans for a showcase event in the summer. In addition to third-party announcements, the PlayStation parent company’s State of Play program last week included the next title from first-party studio Housemarque.
2025 PlayStation Showcase
Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb provided the information. He claims that Sony has not yet chosen whether to have a State of Play event or a full-length PlayStation Showcase in the summer of 2025.
Internally, it seems to me that they are struggling to decide whether to do another State of Play or even make anything a complete showcase this summer. However, Grubb stated on his Game Mess Decides podcast on Friday that they are thinking about doing a showcase.
The presence of a showcase implies that they will have a lot to discuss. You would therefore undoubtedly anticipate seeing Wolverine along with a number of other games that might be released the following year.
Larger presentations centred on first-party announcements and reveals are known as PlayStation Showcase events. In contrast, a State of Play program is shorter and mostly consists of announcements from third parties. While the State of Play broadcast occurs three to four times a year, the PlayStation Showcase is usually held once a year.
Naughty Dog officially unveiled their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, while other of Sony’s first-party developers are actively working on their future projects. Santa Monica has not yet revealed its upcoming game, and Insomniac Games is working on Wolverine at The Game Awards 2024 in December. In the meantime, Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, by Sucker Punch, will be released in 2025.
It’s also important to remember that the last PlayStation Showcase was held in 2023, and the main announcement was Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which would be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X on August 28, 2025. At the presentation, Sony also gave a detailed preview of the gameplay for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Last week, Sony’s State of Play show mostly consisted of announcements and trailers from third parties. However, the business did disclose Housemarque’s upcoming first-party game, which is developed by Returnal. In 2026, the studio will release Saros, a third-person roguelike bullet-hell action-adventure game, exclusively on the PS5.
