State of Play starts at 1:00 pm PT / 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 pm BST today (August 6).
Today's State of Play live stream is almost here, and it's got a couple of goals: keep us excited about upcoming PS4 games, and give a taste of what's coming on PS5.
- All the PS5 games revealed at the June 11 event
- PS5 vs. Xbox Series X: Which new console will win?
- Watch blocked streaming sites and avoid network throttling with a PS4 VPN
In the blog post announcing the State of Play live stream, Sony's Sid Shuman specifically noted that the event will have a "focus on third-party-published games coming to PS4 and PS VR," and that there will be "PS5 game updates on third-party and indie titles you last saw in June’s PS5 showcase."
Now that you know what to expect, here's everything you need to watch today's State of Play live stream:
How to watch Sony's State of Play live stream
Sony's announced the State of Play live stream will be on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels. You can follow along in the embedded video above.
What we expect from the Sony State of Play event
The biggest game we have heard people praying for an update on is Elden Ring, the title made by Dark Souls developer FromSoftware in collaboration with A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin. Major upcoming PS4 games include Marvel's Avengers, Cyberpunk 2077 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, so perhaps we'll get fresh looks at those titles.
Resident Evil: Village, though, seems far more likely a title to get a deeper dive into. It scared us to heck and back at the PS5 games event.
Personally? I shoot for the stars, and want the impossible: Cuphead 2 announced for PS5 before Xbox Series X. One of my fighting-game obsessed colleagues said he'd lift an arcade machine for Virtua Fighter 6.
Oh, and for those who will get their hopes up about PS5 pricing and pre-order news, Shuman has a bucket of ice-cold water to calm your jets. "And just to be super clear, Shuman wrote, "...there won’t be any updates around hardware, business, preorders, or dates either."
