PlayStation’s September State of Play: What to Expect
PlayStation has set a State of Play for this week. The show takes place on Wednesday, September 24, at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT. The stream runs a little over 35 minutes. It will feature fresh looks from both Sony’s studios and outside partners. A highlight is nearly five minutes of new footage for Saros, a 2026 action game from Housemarque, the studio owned by PlayStation. The event will be streamed live on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
Where to watch and what’s on tap
In the past, Sony has used these September runs to preview games coming this year and soon after. This time, fans can expect a mix of updates and new reveals. The focus will be on titles from in-house teams and partners, with Saros showing up as a major feature. Viewers can tune in directly on YouTube or Twitch through PlayStation’s official pages.
Why fans are keeping an eye on this one
September has long been a busy month for Sony. The company often uses the State of Play to set the pace for the rest of the year. This year, many hope for a look at Wolverine from Insomniac, the studio behind Spider-Man. The game was announced in 2021 and has been quiet since. In late 2023, work-in-progress footage leaked during a cyberattack on the studio, adding fuel to the rumor mill.
What could appear on screen this time
Industry whispers point to a Wolverine update arriving during the show or at the Tokyo Game Show. Insiders say a fresh trailer or new gameplay snippets could arrive to calm the long wait. Another potential talking point could be a fresh peek at Resident Evil content. A credible leak suggested that Leon S. Kennedy may appear in a new Requiem project, with eyes on the State of Play or the Tokyo event as a landing spot for that reveal.
What this means for players and the year ahead
For players, the State of Play is a chance to gauge what’s next on the PS5 and beyond. The stream may flag release windows, show dates, or new gameplay ideas. If new projects show up, fans will get a sense of which games are closest to release and which ones are still early in development. Either way, the event helps set expectations for the months ahead and keeps the conversation lively among PlayStation fans.
Live coverage and what to watch for
We’ll be watching as it happens and sharing key moments. Expect quick hits on several titles, with longer looks saved for Saros and any big reveals. The mix of first-party and partner games should give fans a broad view of where Sony plans to go next. Stay tuned for updates as the stream unfolds.
