There are huge games for PlayStation fans to anticipate. There’s the imminent release of Death Stranding 2 in June, and there’s also Ghost of Yotei scheduled for October. There are also other major games in-development such as Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac and Intergalactic by Naughty Dog. Fans were hoping to see some of these games and others as part of a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play during May, but it’s now looking unlikely, although there’s still the possibility of an event for summer.
PlayStation Showcase or State of Play unlikely for May
A lot of PlayStation fans have been hoping for a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play to happen in May. This is because PlayStation events typically fall in this month such as a State of Play in 2024 on May 30th, a PlayStation Showcase in 2023 on May 24th, and another State of Play in 2022 on May 27th. There was also a State of Play on May 27th in 2021 and dedicated individual State of Plays for Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 in May for 2020.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a PlayStation event for May 2025. In response to whether they have heard anything about a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play happening anytime soon, renowned insider, NateTheHate, has repeatedly said on X, “I have not”. They have also just reiterated this on ResetEra.
While May is looking unlikely, there’s still the possibility of an event for summer or slightly after. Previously, we reported on rumors of a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play planned for the summer courtesy of prominent insider Jeff Grubb. During Game Mess Decides 385 back in February, Grubb said, “Internally, it sounds like they’redebating, flopping between, maybe making something this summer a full showcase versus another State of Play, but they are considering a full showcase”.
Summer months are June, July, and August, so Grubb was not referring to May in their discussion. Meanwhile, on ResetEra, leaker John Harker replied “Indeed” to another ResetEra user speculating, “if I were to just guess theywill probably target one for September”.

Now there is the possibility of either June or August. Sony hasn’t done an event in July before, but they did a State of Play on June 2nd in 2022 featuring games such as Final Fantasy 16 and Resident Evil 4 Remake. Meanwhile, they did a State of Play on August 6th in 2020.
September is the beginning of fall, and there is the possibility Sony’s next State of Play could happen slightly after summer. Sony’s last State of Play was actually on September 24th back in 2024, so it’s possible Sony could repeat themselves one year later.
Whether we get a State of Play this May, during summer, in September, or nothing at all, PlayStation fans can still look forward to Summer Game Fest on June 6th. NateTheHate has teased “At least one” of three major games will be part of the show, and there will surely be plenty of other exciting reveals and gameplay demonstrations as is typical of the Geoff Keighley event.
In other PlayStation news, Neil Druckmann has praised Sony for not forcing Naughty Dog to keep making Uncharted games.
