The not-E3 week is about to begin as Sony readies a PlayStation State of Play broadcast for 10pm UK time (11pm CEST / 2pm PT / 5pm ET) tonight. We’ll cover the broadcast live right here, reporting the major talking points in case you’re out walking the dog or stuck somewhere else, and you can also – hi regulars! – assemble in the comments to watch along and chat with us.
What do we expect to see? Sony hasn’t said much. We know the broadcast will be an enigmatic “40+” minutes long, but Sony hasn’t mentioned anything about content beyond “the show highlights a selection of great games from creators across the globe”, which isn’t very helpful. But it does leave us free to speculate.
Fairly safe bets include seeing gameplay for the October-bound samurai sequel Ghost of Yōtei, as well as something from Kojima’s baby-powered walking game Death Stranding 2, although note that there will be a separate Death Stranding 2 showcase this Sunday, 8th June.
We’re hopeful of seeing more of the Wolverine game made by Spider-Man dev Insomniac, we’ve seen some rumours swirling about a possible 2.5D God of War game, and there are the perennial calls for a remake of Bloodborne. Will our dreams finally come true?
Also, Donlan would like a new Ape Escape game. Thanks.
Summer Games Fest gets into full swing as we approach the weekend. The opening broadcast will happen on Friday night and there’s a busy weekend of shows to follow. Our Summer Games Fest 2025 hub has all the times and dates you’ll need.

Oh dear, the full conference running order appears to have been leaked. I suppose there’s no point watching now.
Good afternoon and soon evening to you all! May I just draw your attention to this wonderful image Matt Wales made of me peekabooing behind the PlayStation logo. What a night we’ll have.
