The last time Sony held a State of Play showcase, it confirmed that Marvel’s Spider-Man was heading to the PC and we were getting a Resident Evil 4 remake.
We’re expecting another look at Hogwarts Legacy before it launches in December.

Two months later, it looks like Sony has another reveal-packed showcase planned.
According to Shpeshal Nick, Sony is planning a showcase in August. However, the industry insider adds that Sony may postpone the event to September. Either way, the reveal lines up with Sony’s relatively busy schedule for later this year.
So because *I was* asked, I asked if Sony had a show planned for September and was told that at the moment the plan was for a show in August. But just to make sure those who want to be mad at me will be, “I don’t know if this is going to be inappropriate” was also part of the answer!

With the exception of Marvel’s Spider-Man, which will be available on PC starting August 12, it’s still unclear when the PC ports of The Last of Us Part 1, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, as well as Marvel’s Spider-Man : Miles Morales is coming.
On top of that, we expect Sony to formalize the PC ports of Returnal and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Finally, we’ve been waiting a long time for more God of War: Ragnarok footage, so there’s that too.
Ultimately, it doesn’t take insider information to make an educated guess whether Sony will hold a State of Play showcase in August or September. Sony has scheduled the fan-favorite event every September for the past two years. Also, the latest earnings call didn’t exactly paint a pretty picture for Sony. Additionally, The Last of Us Part 1 is getting a lot of negative press, with some calling the game a money-taker while the developers insist it isn’t.
At least Sony needs to satisfy its fans and investors ahead of the company’s next earnings report.
Speaking of Sony, the console maker has finally ended the PS4 lifecycle. Additionally, while Sony refuses to say no to a possible PS5 price hike, the company has promised to have more PS5 units in place in time for the holiday season.
