The spirit of E3 is very much alive, as Sony is back this week with a new State of Play livestream on June 2. Alongside several other big names in gaming, the PlayStation-focused broadcast will show off what’s next for the gaming brand across its first-party studios and third-party partners. We’ve rounded up all the details you need to know for the livestream, so you can see when to tune in exactly, where to watch, and what to expect.
How to watch State of Play
As always, State of Play will be streamed live on Sony’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
State of Play start time
State of Play kicks off on June 2, at the following times:
- 2 PM PT
- 5 PM ET
- 10 PM BST
- 11 PM CEST
- 6 AM JST (June 3)
What to expect
Officially, Sony says that you can watch over an hour of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from studios across the world. Marvel’s Wolverine will kick things off, but beyond that, Sony is keeping quiet. It’s likely that Arc System Works Marvel-themed fighting game, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, will make an appearance since it’s out on August 6, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see more of Horizon: Hunters Gathering.
Other potential games from Sony’s portfolio that could potentially make an appearance include Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and it’s rumored that Haven Studios’ FairGame$ has been rebranded, so a re-reveal might be on the cards. Sony Santa Monica Studio has also been quiet since God of War Ragnarok was released, so it might be time for the studio to finally reveal that spin-off rumored to be in the works.
On the third-party side, Persona 6 and a Rayman Origins remaster are also said to be in development, so a State of Play reveal wouldn’t be unlikely. Then there’s the GTA 6-sized elephant in the room, as Rockstar Games’ open-world crime caper hasn’t been seen since its second trailer dropped long, long ago. With a marketing deal in place with Sony, seeing a new look at the game ahead of its November release would end the show on a very high note.
