As we move into the dawn of a new era for gaming, SONY’s PlayStation’s State of Play is set to stream live on 30 May and captivate fans for more than 30 minutes with updates and insight into what’s in store for the future. In total, the event will feature 14 Game Reveals and Updates for PlayStation 5 and PSVR2 games. Anticipation is high for what’s coming as gaming experiences have the power to transport us into virtual worlds like never before. Let’s take a closer look at the gaming showcase event that stands as a cornerstone for the gaming calendar in 2023.
Tech and entertainment titan SONY has yet again set its sights to the future, with the latest State of Play livestream set to feature the kind of reveals and surprises that are only fitting from a company that put a CD-ROM in a Games Machine and called it a gaming revolution. The event kicks off at 3pm PT on 30 May, and you can watch right here.
The State of Play event coming up is a little different from those in the past. It’s dubbed the Next-Gen Focus State of Play, and for good reason. SONY has 14 PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 games to show us from third-party and first-party studios, and all of them will be arriving at some point in the back half of 2024, which is a full year from now. This isn’t just about announcing content or showcasing games that feel relevant today, but it’s SONY’s Next-Gen Focus indeed.
In terms of the most buzzed about games, there are rumours of a new Astrobot game. This little robot is a fan favourite, and everyone’s looking forward to his next mission. As you might expect from SONY, it’s rumoured to be a rich and detailed virtual world, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
This all leads into a title scheduled for right after State of Play: a Silent Hill Transmission from Konami. Given the recent tie-ins and the announcements planned between the two events, it’s been jokingly buzzed that State of Play is going to overlap Silent Hill Transmission, complete with a dig at Konami by calling it Silent Hill Transmission: Silent Audio. There are also whispers about… well… whispers about Kingdom Hearts 4, and that there’s more to come from SONY beyond what State of Play has promised and what Summer Game Fest has already shown.
This strategic scheduling and curation of games shows SONY is preparing to take an increasingly central role in the story of next-gen gaming. If there was any doubt about that, it’s removed by the fact that State of Play came just as the summer games events season was about to start.
Remember, the real power of what SONY did yesterday doesn’t rest in the game titles that they presented or the console they’ll finally reveal. What they were doing was creating a community and ecosystem of players, developers, creators and consumers. This event was one more step SONY is taking to ensure that the vibrant, innovative world of gaming is nurtured, challenged, and pushed to continue creating striking, shining new things. The State of Play was a nice adornment, but here and now was just a brief moment in a greater journey.
SONY is at the crossroad of technology, entertainment and innovation. Since the day the digital revolution emerged, SONY has played a crucial role in shaping the gaming experience. SONY PlayStation transformed the gaming world by bringing games to our living rooms, SONY’s VR has changed the way we perceive reality, and we naturally look up to SONY when it comes to buying gaming machines. It knows what the gamers want and moreover it gives it to us. 175 words.
The show that people are anticipating isn’t merely another State of Play: it’s a testament to SONY’s past – and to the company’s commitment to pushing games forward. Whatever is revealed on 30 May, one thing can be certain: gaming’s future has never been brighter, and SONY is leading the way.
Therefore, get ready and put it in your diary, because PlayStation’s State of Play is an experience as well as an event. SONY – it has its finger on the pulse of gaming innovation.
