Insider Hints at Imminent PlayStation State of Play Announcement

Sony may announce a new State of Play tomorrow, June 3, teases a notable insider.

A reputable insider has teased a potentially imminent official confirmation of PlayStation‘s rumored June 2025 State of Play presentation. Sony usually hosts a summer livestream to give PlayStation fans a glimpse into which games they can expect for the latter half of the year, and it appears this pattern will soon be repeated.

Back in February, Sony held a State of Play to set the tone for 2025. The broadcast featured notable third-party games like Borderlands 4, Directive 8020, Hell is Us, Tides of Annihilation, etc., and even snuck in some PlayStation first-party announcements in the form of Days Gone Remastered and Saros – the next game from Returnal developer Housemarque. Then, another State of Play was held on April 30, with this one being dedicated to Borderlands 4. However, the question of a larger summer State of Play has been lingering for some time, and it might be answered very soon.

Rumors of a June 2025 State of Play started surfacing online a couple of weeks ago, and it now appears that the event could be held in the coming days. Over on ResetEra, reliable industry insider Shinobi602 recently hinted at the announcement of a new State of Play taking place as soon as tomorrow, June 3. Replying to a user who commented “It’s my birthday tomorrow so that’s obviously when [Sony will] announce the [State of Play],” Shinobi602 slyly wrote “Happy birthday” followed by a smile emoji.

PlayStation’s Rumored Summer 2025 State of Play Could Air On or Before June 5

While the statement seems innocuous, it’s worth noting that Shinobi602 doesn’t post often on ResetEra unless it’s to tease an upcoming PlayStation-related announcement, and replying to a comment explicitly mentioning the June 2025 State of Play seems all the more deliberate too. Moreover, previous State of Play announcements have almost always been made on a Tuesday, followed up by the livestream itself on either Wednesday or Thursday. Judging by this pattern, the upcoming State of Play could be broadcast on either June 4 or June 5, which would give it just enough time to breathe before Summer Game Fest airs this Friday, June 6.

As for what could be shown off during PlayStation’s June State of Play, there are a few heavy hitters in contention. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is releasing on June 26, so it could receive its final marketing beat in the State of Play. A new trailer for PlayStation’s biggest first-party game of the year – Ghost of Yotei – may also debut during the livestream, and Saros‘ gameplay reveal might take place there as well. Lastly, the rumored God of War side project that’s supposedly launching in 2025 could break cover as part of the June State of Play.
