Sony Unveils PlayStation State of Play Event for May 30 Featuring 14 PS5 and PS VR2 Games

Sony has announced a surprise State of Play livestream event set to air on Thursday, May 30 at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET, promising fans a deep look at what’s next for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2. The 30+ minute presentation will showcase 14 upcoming titles, and expectations are high among the gaming community as Sony breaks its months-long silence on first-party content.

The reveal was made via official PlayStation channels early this morning, confirming that the event will include new reveals and updates from both PlayStation Studios and third-party partners. With the showcase landing just ahead of the typical summer gaming season, many are speculating that this could serve as Sony’s main E3-style broadcast for the year as the company continues to skip the now-defunct trade show.

Among the most anticipated appearances is the rumored Astro Bot game, which industry insiders suggest will make its debut during the event. There’s also strong buzz around a new trailer or details for Team Asobi’s next project, which could bring a fresh mascot platformer to the forefront. Fans are also holding out hope for updates on long-awaited titles like “Concord,” the mysterious multiplayer shooter teased last year by Firewalk Studios, now under the PlayStation Studios banner.

Meanwhile, PS VR2 enthusiasts are eager to see what’s next for Sony’s virtual reality headset, which has seen limited first-party support since launch. The inclusion of VR titles in the show has reinvigorated interest, with speculation pointing toward new entries or ports in popular franchises like “Half-Life” or “Resident Evil.”

Sony has not confirmed whether juggernauts like “Marvel’s Wolverine” or “The Last of Us Factions” will be present, but the show’s length and volume of titles suggest at least a few surprise heavy-hitters. With no PlayStation Showcase earlier in the year, this State of Play could be a defining moment for Sony’s 2024-2025 outlook—and fans won’t have to wait long to see what’s in store.

The livestream will be available on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.
