State of Play is a series of livestream events produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) to showcase upcoming games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR, and PlayStation VR2 platforms. State of Play broadcasts are used by Sony to directly communicate with consumers about new software, hardware, and updates within the PlayStation ecosystem.

History[edit]

State of Play was introduced by Sony in March 2019 as a new way of engaging with the PlayStation community by delivering direct-to-consumer broadcasts, similar to how Nintendo has been doing it prior with their Nintendo Direct format.[1] The initiative represents a shift in how Sony markets its upcoming titles and updates, moving away from large industry events like E3 in favor of a more controlled, digital presentation format.

Format[edit]

State of Play events vary in length and content but generally feature a mix of announcements, including new game reveals, gameplay footage, updates on previously announced titles, and occasionally hardware announcements. These digital events are streamed live on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, allowing viewers worldwide to watch them simultaneously. Sony also occasionally holds the PlayStation Showcase format, in which they announce new first-party titles produced by their internal PlayStation Studios.[2]

List of events[edit]

Alongside State of Play livestreams, other PlayStation events without the "State of Play" branding are listed.
