Get ready to cancel your plans, charge your DualSense, and prep your Twitter memes—Sony’s latest State of Play is dropping tonight, and it’s packing over 40 minutes of pure PS5 juice. If you’re hungry for game reveals, updates, and maybe even a Kojima wildcard, this is the buffet.
When’s It Happening?
The PlayStation showcase kicks off today, June 4th, with global times that might just wreck your sleep schedule:
- 🕑 2 PM PDT / 5 PM EDT (U.S.)
- 🕙 10 PM BST (UK)
- 🕛 12 AM EEST (June 5) (Eastern Europe)
You can catch it live on YouTube and Twitch. And yes, co-streaming is allowed—just maybe mute that copyrighted music unless you want your VOD to vanish faster than FFXIV queue times.
What Can We Expect?
Sony’s being predictably vague, teasing “must-play titles coming to PS5,” but insiders and leakers have been busy. Here’s the juiciest speculation:
Ghost of Yōtei
The long-rumored follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima is allegedly slicing into October 2025. Expect scenic sword duels, more stealthy standoffs, and Kurosawa-mode 2.0.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
If Kojima’s on deck, we’re in for something beautifully bizarre. More BBs? More beaches? Norman Reedus crying on a whale skeleton? Count us in.
Resident Evil WTF Edition (Not the real title… probably)
Capcom’s cooking something. Rumors swirl about a new installment, and fans are hoping for a bold next-gen leap—zombie sharks in ray tracing, anyone?
Final Fantasy IX Remake + Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster
Square Enix might finally stop teasing us and give us a double-dose of nostalgia. If either of these show up, expect the internet to explode in pixelated joy.
Indies, Third-Party Bangers, and Curveballs
From Devolver Digital oddities to Bandai Namco JRPGs, don’t sleep on the smaller announcements. State of Play often sneaks in gems like Kena or Sea of Stars that end up being GOTY material.
Why This One Matters
This isn’t just a random mid-year drop. It’s the prelude to Summer Game Fest, and Sony’s clearly looking to set the tone early. With PlayStation’s 2025 release calendar still half a mystery, this showcase could fill in the blanks and spark hype through to holiday season.
Sony needs to deliver. Fans are eager for new first-party exclusives, clear roadmaps, and fewer vague teasers. We want gameplay, not another logo trailer with dramatic piano music.
Final Thought: What’s Your Dream Reveal?
Let’s be real—we all have that one dream announcement. Bloodborne 2? A new Naughty Dog IP? A full VR2 revamp with actual games?
What would make you throw your headset in joy? Drop your predictions, wishlist, or bingo cards below. And if Sony doesn’t deliver, we riot… politely, on Reddit.
