PlayStation has confirmed a State of Play livestream focusing on PS5 that will run for more than an hour and include first party, third party and indie updates, as reported by indy100. The programme is slated to mix new trailers, gameplay and release information for upcoming titles, and PlayStation will broadcast on its official channels with subtitles in Japanese, according to indy100.
Expectations for the show include a mix of confirmed and speculative appearances from PlayStation Studios and external developers, as outlined by IGN. Insomniac Games told followers on X that further details for Marvel's Wolverine will arrive in spring, cooling speculation that the game would appear in this stream. IGN noted Wolverine remains a likely candidate for fuller coverage later in the year, but the studio's post suggests fans should temper immediate expectations.
IGN highlighted several PlayStation-linked projects likely to appear, including Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon, which is due for release soon and could use the stream to present fresh footage. Housemarque's follow up to Returnal, Saros, has been shown on recent State of Play broadcasts and may appear again. Other PlayStation console exclusives mentioned by IGN include Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, Phantom Blade Zero, Horizon Hunters Gathering, and 4 Loop, each of which could receive new gameplay or playtest details.
Multiplatform And Indie Coverage
Beyond first party fare, the event could feature multiplatform releases and publisher updates, according to both IGN and indy100. Resident Evil Requiem is close to release, and Capcom projects such as Pragmata and Onimusha have been suggested as possible inclusions. indy100 pointed to a hidden private video in the Marvel's Wolverine playlist on PlayStation's YouTube channel as a sign of potential Wolverine material, though Insomniac's spring message complicates that reading.
The stream may also touch on recent announcements and industry rumours. indy100 cited insider Shinobi602 when noting a reveal from Santa Monica would not be surprising, while IGN listed longer shot possibilities such as Naughty Dog's Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet. Other titles flagged by IGN and indy100 include 007 First Light, LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight, Crimson Desert, and newer entries like Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis and Control Resonant, as well as upcoming indie arrivals including a PS5 version of Hades 2, Mixtape, Mouse P.I. For Hire, and inKONBINI One Store.
Both outlets emphasised the length of the show gives PlayStation room for surprises, with IGN suggesting additional reveals from studios such as Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Guerrilla Games, Media Molecule and Team Asobi could appear. Viewers should expect a mix of confirmed updates and speculative reveals across first party, third party and indie lines, with publishers and developers using the broadcast to share new trailers, gameplay snippets and playtest information.
