In the ever-changing world of video game announcements, another development shook up the PlayStation base. Reports from Reset Era suggest that a new PlayStation State of Play stream is highly likely, perhaps scheduled to be announced on June 3, 2025. The announcement normally takes place a day or two prior to the broadcast itself, which would place its probable air date on June 4 or June 5.
State of Play presentations have long been the main way Sony has used to make announcements about its future game releases, especially those later in the year. Digital presentations provide gamers with a peek into the future of the PlayStation universe, from extended gameplay teasers to outright new game announcements. The timing of this rumored event aligns with past summer broadcasts, which indicates a predictable communications model.
Speculation is already intense as to what might be included in this broadcast. Fans are keenly waiting for word on big titles like “Ghost of Yotei,” a title which has been generating a lot of excitement since its initial announcement. There is general enthusiasm as well about an official announcement of the so-called “God of War” side project, which has been the subject of whispered concerns among hardcore fans. The prospect of these heavyweight titles being debuted into the spotlight would be sufficient in itself to make this State of Play a must-watch event.
State of Play streams previously this year, in February and April, delivered news on several titles, establishing precedent for both the scope and degree of information revealed at these events. As the gaming universe is forever evolving, these committed streams are a part of how PlayStation engages with its audience and builds hype for future endeavors. The next few weeks will determine whether or not these insider spoofs translate into an official stream, putting the remainder of the gaming year into motion for many.
