This year’s PlayStation Experience is sounding like the biggest yet, with double the floor space and more games than ever before. But unless you’re actually heading out to the Anaheim convention, you could be forgiven for thinking the opposite: Sony’s confirmed that it won’t be holding a traditional press conference, instead opting for a more casual presentation on the Friday evening which will include “updates on some key titles” and “special announcements”.
In addition to that, there’ll be a series of panels through Saturday, which will provide important updates on first-party exclusives like Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of Us: Part II. So while we’re not expecting an action-packed weekend in terms of huge announcements, there should be plenty to look forward to. Which leaves us with the most important question of all: when and where can you enjoy PSX 2017?
PlayStation Presents at PSX 2017
When is the PSX 2017 press conference?
As mentioned above, there isn’t a traditional press conference. Sony is instead hosting a presentation that it’s titled PlayStation Presents, which will include interviews and special announcements. Our guess is that this will be similar to Microsoft’s Gamescom 2017 presentation, where it rotated in developers, debuted new trailers, and made some small announcements. The key difference here is that it will all take place in front of a live audience, so we’d expect the energy levels to be high.
What time does PlayStation Presents at PSX 2017 start?
Friday, 8th December 2017 @ 8PM PST
- North America: 8pm PST / 9pm MST / 10pm CST / 11pm EST
- UK/Ire: 4am GMT
- Europe: 5am CET / 6am EET
- Asia/Oceania: 1pm JST / 12pm AWST / 3pm AEDT
Where can I watch PlayStation Presents at PSX 2017?
Sony’s streaming to all of the major channels, but we’ll have full coverage here at Push Square, including a live blog, live stream, and live chat right through PlayStation Presents at PSX 2017. Join us live for that.
What will be announced at PlayStation Presents at PSX 2017?
You’ve got to think small, because Sony’s been very clear that this isn’t going to be a traditional press conference. One of the features of the presentation is going to include a Shuhei Yoshida interview, so it’s probably going to be similar to the kind of content you’d find during one of the platform holder’s daily E3 2017 streams.
We reckon that the whole presentation will have a first-party focus, and we think that you’re probably going to see some first gameplay footage of Ghost of Tsushima, as it sounds like the project’s already quite far along. We’d also expect God of War to be officially dated, potentially alongside a new trailer. And our last bet is Dreams, which was re-revealed at The Game Awards 2017 this week.
PSX 2017 Panels
Sony will also be streaming a string of panels from PSX 2017 through Saturday, 9th December. These will include special guests, gameplay demonstrations, and interviews. We’ll set up a live panels page throughout the day, so that you can jump in and watch everything unfold, complete with live chat, live blog, and, of course, an all-important livestream.
But just so you can get your schedule in order, here’s everything that the manufacturer’s got planned:

Ghost of Tsushima: From Concept to Reveal
It’s been a month since we announced our newest title, Ghost of Tsushima. Here at Sucker Punch, we’ve watched so many reaction videos and read many of your comments with smiles on our faces, so we thought PSX was a great opportunity to share a little more with you all.
Join us on Saturday at 3:30pm as Nate Fox (Creative Director), Jason Connell (Creative/Art Director), Billy Harper (Animation Director), Ryuhei Katami (Associate Producer, Sony Interactive Entertainment) and moderator Brian Altano (IGN) discuss how we approached making the debut trailer and what inspired us to make this game. We’ll share epic concept art that’s driving the tone and visuals for the game, and share a little about our reference trips to Japan and working with new team members that are helping make Ghost of Tsushima even better. Also be sure to stop by our signing session after the panel and come say hi. Stay tuned for more info on time and location.

Looking like a good weekend of PlayStation treats, just remember to keep your expectations reasonable and you might have a good time.
Sigh, it could have a great conference with the trailers of Dreams and Death Stranding over there instead, also updates for games like God of War, Spider-Man, Detroit, maybe The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima as well. Also multiplats like Monster Hunter.
I'm hoping to get at least a release window for days gone, if not a full release date. Am i asking for too much? its been a while already since it first got announced ,I'm really looking forward to that game
I expect Uncharted 5, a new Crash, Spyro HD trilogy/remake, Jak and Daxter 4, a new Parappa, new Twisted Metal, Little Big Planet 4.
Also I have a feeling they will say "available now" about God of War
@Brasilkilla It's certainly possible.
@AFCC Joke post?
After From Software's tease last night, who else thinks we might get a little more of it tonight?
Im hoping for a surprise announcement for timesplitters, streets of rage or jet set radio. Make my Xmas game people.
Bloodborne 2 full gameplay reveal complete with two hour developer demo. Surprise, it's out on Christmas day. Sick.
@DLB3 @get2sammyb I'm super cereal!
Btw, I expect Josef to take Andrew House's job now
@ShogunRok lol, I wish. But fingers crossed we do get at least a little more info on that reveal.
@themcnoisy Yes, that would be awesome if sadly a little unlikely at this point. Still, you never know.
I'll check out whatever they are doing tonight, and maybe some of the panels tomorrow. I am just going in expecting a few release dates, God of War and Spider-Man being the two I want the most.
@ShogunRok
I expect nothing less.
@DLB3 Another E3 or PGW means one new game reveal? Sounds about right.
@get2sammyb
Can those panels be found online after the fact? Some sound quite interesting but I may not be able to catch them live.
@sinalefa I'm 99.9% certain they'll be archived on the PlayStation YouTube channel, yes.
Too late fam Too late damn that's like 5 in the morning.
I’m hoping to see more info on the Capcom fighters Street Fighter V Arcade Edition and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. Character updates I mean.
5 am?! jeez, i should probably go to bed now and wake up in 5 hours
Guess I'll have my nightly hookah session round 8pm to watch this then head to bed. Expectations at a minimum. Last night's Nintendo reveals and death stranding trailer was plenty of hype for the time being.
Wow, that’s a ton of stuff. I don’t know if I have the patience to watch all that even though I’d love to see the updates and discussion. Probably just read the Push Square summary articles.
How long is the conference that starts at 8 pst
Republished for panels guide.
