Sony is hosting a

State of Play

showcase on Wednesday, June 4 at 5PM ET/2PM PT, featuring updates on upcoming

PlayStation 5

games in a 40+ minute livestream on Twitch and YouTube. The presentation promises "news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5" and will highlight "a selection of great games from creators across the globe," according to Sony content communications manager Tim Turi in a PlayStation Blog post. The showcase is expected to feature updates on several highly anticipated titles.

Ghost of Yotei

, Sucker Punch's PlayStation 5 exclusive sequel launching in October, appears likely to receive significant coverage.

Death Stranding 2

: On The Beach from renowned developer Hideo Kojima may also make an appearance. Other potential showcases include Insomniac's Wolverine game and projects from Sony's internal studios including Santa Monica Studio (God of War), Bend Studio (Days Gone), and Guerrilla Games, which is developing a Horizon multiplayer spin-off. Sony-owned Bungie's Marathon could appear, though recent art plagiarism controversies may limit its presence.

External partnerships may also feature prominently, with games like Phantom Blade Zero potentially receiving updates. Sony's new PlayStation studio teamLFG, announced last month, might debut details about its live service project. The State of Play joins an exceptionally busy week for gaming, coinciding with the Switch 2 launch and preceding Summer Game Fest on June 6 and Xbox's showcase on June 8. This concentrated schedule reflects the industry's continued adaptation to the post-E3 landscape, where publishers distribute major announcements across multiple independent showcases rather than a single trade show.
