PS5 owners may get a new-look Summer showcase this year according to one insider, instead of the usual State of Play while another title could slip from 2025 to next yearTech11:21, 17 Feb 2025Updated 12:39, 17 Feb 2025PS5 fans will have lots to play soonPlayStation fans have had a rollercoaster couple of weeks. After a huge PSN outage had some saying they were jumping ship to Xbox, a State of Play last week eased concerns and had players fawning over the likes of MindsEye and more.That State of Play reportedly hit 1.8 million views, setting a new record for the format for Sony (thanks, Streams Charts), but Sony is apparently looking to move away from a larger Summer showcase this year, according to one insider.Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb says Sony can't decide whether they'll hold another State of Play with a series of third-party offerings, or if they'll hold a larger PS5 showcase.Fans are desperate to see Insomniac's WolverineThey could still have some fun announcements and they could still start bolstering expectations for 2026, Grubb said on his Game Mess stream (thanks, VGC).Internally it sounds like theyre debating, and flopping between, maybe making something this summer a full showcase versus another State of Play. But they are considering a showcase.And if they have a showcase, that means theyll have a lot of stuff to talk about. And at that point, you would definitely expect to see Wolverine and a lot of other games that could come out next year.Fans had hoped for a Wolverine update at last week's State of Play, as it remains one of Sony's few big exclusives that has been announced. That list also includes Ghost of Yotei, a successor to Ghost of Tsushima that's slated for this year.Fairgame$ has reportedly been delayedFairgame$, a live service title, could be among the games shown off but has reportedly slipped out of 2025 internally, Grubb said.The game was announced in 2023 but has been quiet since. It's part of a slate of live service titles planned by Sony, but many have been cancelled in the wake of Concord's underperformance which led to the game being removed from storefronts and the studio disbanded.Conversely, Helldivers 2, which launched just over a year ago, was a huge success on PS5 and Steam, and Sony has promised to take learnings from each when it comes to upcoming titles.For more on PlayStation, check out the latest PS Plus Extra titles, as well as sales data for the PS5 versus the Xbox Series X and S.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
