Not long after Nintendo teased what it’s got on the cards for 2026, PlayStation has followed suit. Yesterday, the Japanese gaming conglomerate announced its first State of Play of the year, promising more than 60 (?!) minutes of footage featuring “news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios across the globe.”
A fool’s State of Play…
Oh, and it’s taking place on Thursday, 12 February. This is the part when you add it to your calendar if you’re at all interested in checking out what’s in store for the year ahead. Daring Saffas will technically want to mark down 00h00 on the morning of Friday, 13 February. Or, just let Stuff watch the thing and save you all the hassle.
As for the where, Sony will host the hour-long show on YouTube and Twitch at the time we mentioned. There’s already a countdown up on the company’s YouTube channel — and we’ve embedded the stream below, too.
Don’t let the State of Play branding fool you. Sony may have ditched the official Showcase branding that typically meant viewers were in for a stacked line-up, but all signs point towards this being one of those times. For one thing, the company hasn’t given us an hour-plus showcase of any kind for more than three years. And for another, now would be the ideal time to give players a peek at what’s going on at Insomniac Games and Naughty Dog.

See, Wolverine is, apparently, still coming out in the big ’26. If that’s still the case, Sony will want to get that well out of GTA VI’s path, which looks set to compete against itself and whatever Devolver Digital has cooked up for Q4 2026. That should put Wolverine on course for a Q3 (Jul-Aug-Sep) release if we’re lucky. Of course, there’s always the possibility of a delay…
As for the rest of the slate, it seems that Santa Monica Studios has something lined up inside the God of War universe, according to leaker Shinobi602. Still, we wouldn’t get our hopes up. It seems far more likely that we’ll get a new trailer for Death Stranding 2’s PC port, and possibly something related to Marathon, which debuts in March. Saros, too, is due another teaser, as is Phantom Blade Zero.
One thing is for certain: A Bloodborne remaster
