PlayStation has finally confirmed that it'll be hosting 2026's first State of Play broadcast later this week, on Thursday the 12th February.
Excitingly, this sounds like it's going to be a big deal. The show's set to last over an hour, and will feature "news and updates from developers across the globe".
This includes announcements from third parties, indies, and PlayStation Studios. Again, this appears to be a significant event.
The broadcast will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch, starting at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT / 11pm CEST.
We will, of course, be covering all of the news right here on Push Square, so stay tuned.
What are you hoping to see at this next State of Play? Feel free to dream big in the comments section below.

Intergalactic would be nice. Launch trailer for RE9? New Saros trailer probably. Last announcement being 2.5D Gowania would be great too. Character reveal for Tokon. Onimusha launch date? Marathon trailer.
Wasnt there a rumor about an Uncharted spin off a few years sgo?
Crimson Desert gameplay on PS, RE9 and Wolverine I'd be very happy with
@subechin
I would like to see another Chloe&Nadine adventure so much! Lost Legacy was great.
Intergalactic would be nice indeed. Anything Santa Monica too.
Ps5 version of kcd to coincide with the gamepass release, starfield, Wolverine and doubtful but hopeful gta6 😂
N.i.c.e. this state of play is going to be interesting. Something to look forward to.word up son
60 minutes, im tempted to get optimistic 😆
Rayman collection on PS4/PS5, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection II and Wolverine on PS5 info.
@SlyASpiE the footage of crimson desert on a state of play was the ps5 version , one of the guys from pearl abyss stated this in a recent interview.
I would like to see Ridge Racer 8
The biggest rumour I have heard is DMC6 is going to be announced (apply a pinch of salt). I think this could be a really great SoP maybe with Intergalatic as the closer...
That’s a massive State of Play. I’m not going to let myself get excited. Is it weird if I don’t know if I actually want to watch it in real time and might instead opt to watch the coverage this time? I’ll probably still watch, but man I hope an hour means there’s enough time for games I like to be announced too.
I've kinda got high hopes for this, which is unusual. Must be getting naive in my old age.
@Oram77 if Capcom has another banger this year in the wings, I want a Capcom console next generation.
I'd like to see what Cory Barlog at Santa Monica has been up to... surely it's time. Also, more Crimson Desert - which still looks too good to be true.
Edit: Just realised I'm out on the beers when it streams, so I'll watch it back when I get home... after a few pints it'll all look great!
60 is a lot
Looking forward to this
Call it now ‘worst SoP ever’ will be mentioned lots. Regardless if it is or isn’t. And it will be negative afterwards.
@somnambulance For Real, the roll Capcom has been on needs to be study for generations.
Probably smart of them to drop the “PS Showcase” title and just call everything a State of Play. It helps people not raise their expectations higher than they already do.
Wolverine won't be here. Insomniac already said they won't be saying anything more about it until spring.
Let the unrealistic expectations begin....
My prediction
1. god of war 2.5d
2. Tokon character reveal with another beta and maybe release date
3. Wolverine teaser for april dedicated SOP (similar to Yotei)
4. Control Resonant
5. Halo (first xbox trailer)
6. Onimusha
7. a Fairgames update
edit: 8. Yotei Legends with release date and expansion announcement.
@Scottyy I'm not at all excited about intergalatic, not with that main character
@cainhurst94 8 - some remake unrevealed
@subechin It was reportedly being developed out of a new San Diego studio, following a character you control at the end of Uncharted 4 👀
I know it's been 10 years since it came out but I don't wanna be that guy.
@cainhurst94 sounds about right to me. Plus some marathon gameplay with the launch around the corner.
I’m ready to be slated - go on, just a sneak of Starfield
My (pessimistic prediction)
1. A bunch of PS4 games getting PS4 upgrades
2. Jak and Daxter returns in a battle royale game
3. Dino Crisis 3 is given a port
4. The price of PS+ increases, with the only new addition being Fortnite bucks.
5. Media Molecule announce a Horizon spinoff
6. Sony start teasing the PS6
7. The "one more thing" of the event is Todd Howard revealing the PS5 version of Starfield.
Either I'm right or I'm happy to be wrong.
@lazarus11 yeah he said the state of play trailer which is all just quick cuts, the game looks sweet, just hoping it runs OK on consoles. I'm pretty convinced it'll be fine on PS with the amount of footage they've released (even if its PC) and how open they've been, also they had demos of it at some of the cons at the end of last year I believe. Just be nice to see a little bit of uncut console gameplay, more than likely a day one purchase for me, might even pre order
@Vorflynn I was gonna put Marathon but Bungie have mostly been doing their own marketing if it is in the SOP I'll assume Sony really are confident in the quality then. Maybe give a free weekend beta earlier.
Something for Final Fantasy VII part 3 please! Just a name reveal would make me happy...
I'd like an update on the new Ueda project, other than that, going in without expectations. It's the best way to experience them
I'm not making any predictions because it's more fun that way. See you all on Wednesday.
Remake of a fan favorite game released a year ago: MindsEye Redemption.
Can't wait to be disappointed 😃
@FleetCasual I think we will see part 3 at summer games fest, but would be amazing if it was in the SoP!
Give me:
Kingdom Hearts 4
Judas
Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition
Silent Hill 1 or Townfall
Third Jedi game
Can't wait for the reveals of Bloodborne 2, Elder Scrolls VI gameplay, Jak 4, Sly 5, Days Gone 2 and The Simpsons Hit ń Run remake. Am I missing any?
Think we should just all agree that nobody else needs any RE9 footage anymore ;(
I just want to see Marvel Tokon new characters. But got the feeling they will show Yotei Legend mode.
@samueljoshua
Not a big fan of her from the first look but maybe the story makes her better or at the very least tolerable.
It's too early but a sequel to Astro bot.
Cool I’m there already! Last week!
Damn, did not expect it to be over an hour! 😎 Won’t get my hopes up too high, but this might be a big one.
My predictions:
Hopium version:
Wow, more than an hour. This is gonna be a big event. Just hope there are actually big announcements.
My hope is for a FFVII Remake part 3 teaser and some updates for KH4
New character reveals for Marvel Tokon please.
New Astro Bot game would also be great.
Lots of third person character action games.
No WipEout sequel and/or remasters.
Sad.
@Coolmusic Astro Kart Galaxy!
Games I expect to see.
Marathon
Saros
Marvel Tokon
Resident Evil Requiem
Intergalactic (closes the show)
Gacha game x2
Soulslike x2
Xbox game (Avowed or South of Midnight)
Monster Hunter Wilds Expansion
Unrealistic expectations?.
GTA 6
Kingdom Hearts 4
Persona 6
Judas
Final Fantasy 7 Third Part
Chrono Trigger Remake
YES! Come on, FFVII part 3...🥹 And while it's a big stretch...Team Asobi Ape Escape maybe?
PSSR Update please with updates for the Insomniac and Naughty Dog Games!
Interesting about the length, either this means there's a lot of announcements or there's some lengthy segments like the 10 minute Marvel Tokon one in June 2025.
My expectations is like the temperature in my town incredibly low! Sony has lost me, but they gain my 4 year old. Maybe Sony won.
@SlyASpiE playstation access i think their footage of rob playing it is ps , but it looks amazing , it seems you can literally do everything , just hope its not a jack of all trades master of none game.
Not going to make predictions but an hour is exciting! Hopefully lots to show and not 2 or 3 15 minute extended gameplay trailers
Games I'd like to see but in an alternative time-line: Burnout remastered collection (with every original music track) Mercenaries 3, The Saboteur 2, Rockstar's Agent, a new Wipeout, The Getaway 3, Snowrunner 2, Gotham by Gaslight (cancelled Batman game) This is why I have no expectations but I watch either way.
I've always watched these events for the Sony exclusives only, but now that I have a PS5 Pro, I'll also be watching it for those third-party games that I will now be getting on the PlayStation instead.
Particularly looking forward to Saros update. Hopefully we will see some Wolverine and also Intergalactic.
As for third-party games, I'm already sold on Resident Evil: Requiem, but I expect that to feature. What I'd really like to see is some Control: Resonant gameplay.
I also expect to see Starfield finally announced for the PS5 seems as it'll arrive here in April...
Here's my guesses on featured games:
Saros
Wolverine
Valor Mortis
Intergalactic
Control Resonant
Final fantasy 7 remake part 3
Judas
Clockwork revolution
However I wont be watching it live and will catch up once it is over.
Edit: Forgot to add, crescent county
Everything we already know is coming or how it'll look like, will be boring (Saros etc)
But 60 mins sounds nice...
If there actually should be Intergalactic, this would be the biggest thing of the year (even bugger than game awards in December)
should this not a be a sony showcase if it is 60 minutes and not a state of play.
What the hell, sure. Cant be worse than the last SoP and the latest direct 😂. But this time idek what to hope for, a lot of my favorite series have new entries already
@Simu001 I know it's a moot point at this stage but Clockwork Revolution is a Xbox exclusive.... for now
Keeping it cool and calm
And seeing how it all goes down.
I demand at least 7 brand new first-party single player games or I’m going to vote this abysmal in the poll the day after.
@Scottyy RE9 comes out late February. Why would there be a launch trailer?
@UltimateOtaku91 @SlyASpiE Did Nakanishi post about the PS SOP on his Instagram Story?
Maybe announcement of PSSR 2.0 update
I know Square Enix has been a little, well, unstable of late… but Yoko Taro and co have been teasing something for almost a year now. Come on, it’s about time they pulled back the curtain! Or it could just be Yoko Taro trolling us, which is also is very possible 😄
This should be a banger—but I’ll keep my expectations in check. I, however, have no doubt there will be numerous games that are up my alley, though!
@Fiendish-Beaver Did Nakanishi (director of RE9) post the SOP news on his IG account)?
@anoyonmus
Launch trailers tend to be released a bit earlier than launch. It came to my mind.
Bloodborne confirmed
Should I start complaining now? Or wait till after SOP? 😊
Kidding.
Hopefully some new stuff will be announced. Intergalactic update would also be nice.
@Oram77 hahahaha cant believe how I missed that🤣. You're right, man I remember that it was announced and got too excited hahaha.
One thing you can practically guarantee at any video game event these days it seems, there will be a soulslike Action RPG set in a fictionalised, ancient far east country of some kind.
@Oram77 I almost feel like Capcom is single handedly carrying AAA development right now. I think every game they have made has hit since RE7.
Imagine a GTA6 gameplay video 🫣
Bloodborne Remastered is finally happening!
Maybe new FromSoft game announcement?
Probably my #1 (realistic) wish is some new characters for Marvel Tokon and a release date.
Would also love to see some FF7 Remake Pt 3 news, or the remake of Persona 4.
The dream is always Bloodborne, but I'd be overjoyed with a new mainline Soulsborne of any kind tbh. Know they've been done to (repeated) death but I just love the format and Dark Souls 3 feels like an eternity ago now.
Remember Fairgame$? No? Well we're here with a 40 minute deep dive into the gameplay and story. Welcome... to Fairgames.
Slightly off topic but wouldn't it make more sense to open a completely new article for this rather than replace the old one in the future? That entire comment section is now lost. Perhaps not a great loss, some might say, but between all the negativity there were still some interesting discussions.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one, while keeping my expectations realistic. An extra long edition is a nice bonus.
Every time I watch one of these things it's rubbish so I think I'll do everyone a favour and not watch it.
@Czar_Khastik that one got me bro 🔥
My mind pondered if the rumoured crunch recently at Naughty Dog could be related to getting a gameplay trailer ready for this. In behind the scenes docs it seems that used to be a thing for the big E3 showcases. Just a thought.
Not really going to expect anything in particular but an hour SoP is a rare thing lately.
@Alps_Stranger please no. Lol
Wow, a big one. Hopefully they'll have 60 minutes worth of content for it.
Cool this sounds really exciting, unless it’s 58 minutes of live service!
Wipeout Omega Collection
Resident Evil 7
Blood and Truth
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Borderlands 2 VR
Ace Combat 7
Iron Man VR
Star Wars Squadrons
All porting over to PSVR2 and they are available… right now!
100% happening. Definitely. No chance it’s not.
@Czar_Khastik not concord fan favourite remake?
@Scottyy like a week before. Not this early.
Has Nakanishi (director of RE9) posted about the SOP on his Instagram story.
@subechin would love a sully prequel
@SoulChimera would love an Astro bot rescue mission port.
Here's hoping for the new 2d god of war. Also expect to see Saros (co-op announcement), ghost legends release, tokon new characters, and ps plus games
Maybe Mark Cerny talking about PS5 Pro PSSR update
If they haven't cancelled that God of war metroidvania then maybe that may get announced.
