Sony has officially confirmed a new State of Play broadcast for Tuesday, June 2, 2026, airing at 2:00pm PT / 5:00pm ET / 11:00pm CEST. It is the publisher’s first major showcase of the summer and the first scheduled livestream after the company’s recent town hall on the future of PC ports. The PlayStation Blog says the stream will run more than 60 minutes and that the show will kick off with a new look at Marvel’s Wolverine, the Insomniac Games title that confirmed a September 15 PS5 release date last month.
The Wolverine segment is positioned as the headline act, with Sony promising “more from Insomniac’s upcoming third-person action-adventure” including new details on Logan’s brutal and relentless combat. The team has not shown extended gameplay since the September 2025 gameplay reveal trailer dropped, so this is expected to be the longest sustained look at the game ahead of its three-and-a-half-month run to launch.
Beyond Wolverine, Sony says the showcase will “feature other game announcements and gameplay reveals from various studios” with content drawn from both PlayStation Studios first-party teams and third-party partners. The blog post stops short of naming any of those titles, but the State of Play format historically packs 12 to 18 segments into a 60-plus-minute runtime, suggesting room for several heavyweight reveals alongside indie spotlights.
Theatre fan events and what to watch for
For the first time tied to a State of Play, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will host special live theatre viewings on June 2 at select U.S. locations, with Sony providing exclusive invites — an unusual move that has fuelled speculation the broadcast contains at least one announcement big enough to draw fans out of their homes. The Drafthouse fan event is free with RSVP and pairs the broadcast with a curated screening lineup.
Several long-rumoured PS5 projects could plausibly land at the showcase. Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei still has marketing beats to hit ahead of its planned 2026 launch, Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has been quiet since its initial reveal, and Bend Studio’s next project remains unannounced more than three years after Days Gone’s long tail finished. On the third-party side, Square Enix and Capcom have unannounced PS5 content in the pipeline that Sony has previously seeded through State of Plays.
The PC ports context
The June 2 broadcast also arrives just two weeks after PlayStation chief Hermen Hulst’s May 18 town hall, where the executive walked back the studio’s long-running single-player PC port pipeline and reaffirmed console exclusivity for upcoming releases including Ghost of Yotei, Marvel’s Wolverine, Saros and Intergalactic. That announcement reset community expectations heading into the showcase: the games announced on June 2 should be assumed PS5-first and likely PS5-only at launch, with PC releases (if any) following years later.
The June 2 stream will be broadcast live on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch channels in English and Japanese, with on-demand replays available shortly after the broadcast concludes.
