Insider claims PlayStation State of Play is happening in February.
These events serve as a platform for Sony to outline its plans for the PlayStation 5 and provide updates on both first-party and third-party titles. The company's most recent showcase was a Japan-focused event in November 2025.
PlayStation is expected to host a State of Play showcase in February 2026, according to noted insider NateTheHate. The claim, while unconfirmed by Sony, aligns with a historical pattern of early-year presentations from the company, as reported by Video Games Chronicle. When asked on social media if a show was planned for February, the insider gave a direct response: "There will be, yes."
A familiar February pattern
A PlayStation State of Play in February would not be surprising. Sony has held a presentation in February in four of the last five years, making it a reliable window for early-year announcements. These events serve as a platform for Sony to outline its plans for the PlayStation 5 and provide updates on both first-party and third-party titles.
The company's most recent showcase was a Japan-focused event in November 2025. Before that, the last main State of Play was in September 2025, which featured major titles including Saros and Marvel’s Wolverine.
What games could be shown?
While the contents of a potential showcase are purely speculative, Sony has several key first-party games slated for 2026 that could make an appearance. The current schedule includes Bungie's Marathon (5 March), San Diego Studio's MLB The Show 26, and Insomniac Games' highly anticipated Marvel's Wolverine, which is targeting a release in the second half of the year.
Other possibilities include new footage of Saros, due for release on 30 April, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a title published by Sony and developed by Arc System Works. It remains unclear what Sony plans to show, and the company did not respond to a request for comment on the rumor.
