PS5 State of Play June 2026 live updates — last-minute rumors, leaks and how to watch

I need to see more from Intergalactic!

If there's one already-announced game I'm desperate to see at the State of Play, it's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Naughty Dog are a top 3 developer in my book, so anything with the ND logo has my instant attention, and Intergalactic looks epic.

We've not seen this one since it was revealed at The Game Awards in December 2024, and while a 2026 release date seems very unlikely, a fresh look during today's State of Play isn't out of the question. The game is a sci-fi title that stars a futuristic bounty hunter who becomes stuck on a planet cut off from contact for 600 years.

If I were a betting man, I think a second trailer at this year's Game Awards might be a more likely slot for Intergalactic to resurface but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Fairgames could be re-revealed as Break In

The upcoming live-service shooter Fairgames from new team Haven Studios was announced back in 2023, but we've not seen it since. Therefore, it stands to reason that it could resurface at today's State of Play, but perhaps with a new name.

Last month, it was reported that Sony had filed a trademark for a new game called "Break In," but the internet rumor mill, tipped off by a not-so-subtle clue from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier (per IGN), suggests this might not be a new game at all, but rather a rebranding of Fairgames.

Rightly or wrongly, the online reception to Fairgames was pretty mixed, with many fans suggesting it'll be the next Concord (a PlayStation live service game that was shut down within just a few weeks). So, giving it a new title and a fresh slate, and hoping to make a better impression this time around, could be a smart play.

The next God of War could be revealed today

There's one rumor that just won't go away ahead of the State of Play. Various sources, including Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, have claimed the next game in the God of War series will be announced during State of Play June 2026.

It's already been a big year for the GoW series. In the February State of Play, a remake of the original trilogy was revealed, and the side-scrolling spin-off title God of War: Sons of Sparta was announced and released the same day. But if the rumors are correct, PlayStation is already ready to show what's next for the series.

The unconfirmed suggestion is that the next God of War will be a prequel game focused on Faye, Kratos' second wife, whose death kicked off the events of God of War (2018). It's also rumored this title will be directed by Cory Barlog, who was the sole director on the reboot and a co-director on sequel God of War Ragnarök.

As with all rumors, I advise taking this one with a grain of salt, but there's certainly a lot of online noise about this. We'll find out if it's true in just a matter of hours.

Here's when I think we'll see Wolverine during State of Play

We'll be diving into the world of rumors, leaks and speculation soon enough, but for now, let's keep the focus on what we do know. So, it's been confirmed that Marvel's Wolverine will feature, but the big question, is when will it be showcased?

My prediction is that Wolverine will open the show. For starters, PlayStation will want to lead off with a big game, which Wolverine most certainly is. Secondly, because Logan's involvement has been pre-confirmed, it makes sense to open the show, leaving the final reveal to be something unexpectedly and hype generating.

Furthermore, the opening slot is definitely a prime position, and it would make sense for PlayStation to reverse it for one of its own titles rather than a third-party.

Would you like fries with that?

Alongside screening the State of Play at select Alamo Drafthouse locations, it looks like there will be Wolverine themed-food on offer as well (source @ZhugeEX). This includes "Savage Sticks," "Rage Pizza" and a "Mutant Instinct" cocktail. Just looking at the menu is making me hungry. I wonder if you can order these themed items on DoorDash?

You can watch State of Play on the big screen!

How about this for the ultimate way to enjoy the State of Play? Sony has partnered with Alamo Drafthouse (a cinema chain the Japanese tech giant recently bought) to host State of Play fan events, showing the event on the big screen!

Tickets are free, and the State of Play will be shown in Drafthouse's across the U.S., including in Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Boston and Chicago. I can't think of a better way to enjoy the occasion than watching all the announcements in a movie theater with an audience that will no doubt only add to the atmosphere.

I'll be watching at my desk (after all, I need to bring TG readers the latest updates!), but if you're fortunate enough to live near one of the locations hosting the event, check out the link above. Just be aware that tickets might have sold out.

PS5 State of Play June 2026: Everything you need to know

So, the key details for State of Play are as follows. The live-streamed presentation takes place today (Tuesday, June 2), and it will run for "more than 60 minutes." Sony is promising "updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world" with at least some presence from its own PlayStation Studios.

The timings for State of Play June 2026 are as follows:

• 2 p.m. PT
• 5 p.m. ET
• 10 p.m. BST
• 11 p.m. CEST
• 6 a.m. JST (June 3)
• 7 a.m. AEDT (June 3)

You'll be able to watch along live via PlayStation's channels on YouTube and Twitch, but fear not if you can't get to a stream, that's what I'm here for. In this live blog, I'll bring you all the pre-show build-up, and full live coverage of every announcement.

The one game we can bank on being at State of Play

There's a lot we don't know about today's State of Play, but Sony has confirmed one game that will present: Marvel's Wolverine. Set to release on September 15, this superhero action game comes from Insomniac Games, the developer of the PS5 Marvel's Spider-Man games, and it looks brutal in the best way possible.

We've been waiting a long time to get our hands (claws?) on Wolverine. It was announced during the PlayStation Showcase in September 2021, and almost five years later, we're finally entering the home straight with launch just a few months away. I'm expecting to see more gameplay today, and maybe new story details.

My other prediction when it comes to Marvel's Wolverine is that PlayStation might confirm a limited-edition Wolverine-themed DualSense and maybe even console.
