Sony<\/a> might not hold a full-length PlayStation Showcase<\/a> this summer and instead opt for a smaller State of Play<\/a> event to share updates on upcoming games. The company has reportedly not finalised its plans for a summer showcase event yet. The PlayStation<\/a> parent held a State of Play broadcast last week where it revealed the next game from first-party studio Housemarque, in addition to third-party announcements.<\/p>\n

PlayStation Showcase in 2025<\/h2>\n

The information comes from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb. According to him, Sony is yet undecided between hosting a full-length PlayStation Showcase and a State of Play presentation in Summer 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, internally it sounds like they are debating, flopping between maybe making something this summer a full showcase versus another State of Play. But they are considering a showcase,\u201d Grubb said on his Game Mess Decides podcast<\/a> Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they have a showcase, that means they’ll have a lot of stuff to talk about. And at that point, you would definitely expect to see Wolverine and a lot of other games that could come out next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

PlayStation Showcase events are larger presentations focussed on first-party announcements and reveals. A State of Play broadcast, on the other hand, is shorter and largely features third-party announcements. PlayStation Showcase is typically held annually, while State of Play broadcast takes place three to four times a year.<\/p>\n

Several of Sony’s first-party studios are currently working on their next projects \u2014 Naughty Dog<\/a> finally revealed<\/a> its next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/a> at The Game Awards 2024 in December, Insomniac Games<\/a> is working on Wolverine<\/a> and Santa Monica<\/a> has not yet announced its next game. Meanwhile, Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei<\/a>, the follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima<\/a>, is coming in 2025.<\/p>\n

Grubb, however, said that Sony could still come up with some \u201cfun announcements\u201d and start \u201cbolstering expectations for 2026\u201d at a games showcase event this year.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that the last PlayStation Showcase<\/a> took place in 2023, where the headline announcement<\/a> was Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater<\/a>, set to launch on August 28, 2025, across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S\/X. Sony also provided an in-depth look at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2<\/a> gameplay at the event.<\/p>\n

Sony held a State of Play broadcast last week, which largely featured third-party trailers and announcements. The company, however, did reveal the next first-party game from Returnal<\/a> developer Housemarque<\/a>. The studio is working on Saros<\/a>, a third-person roguelike bullet-hell action-adventure title that’s slated to launch exclusively on PS5<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
