Sony's longest State of Play in months promises major PS5 game reveals from worldwide studios. The 60+ minute showcase airs February 12 at 2am GST, featuring third-party titles, indies, and PlayStation Studios updates.

Sony has announced its next PlayStation State of Play presentation for Thursday, February 12, 2026. The showcase will run for more than 60 minutes and feature news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios worldwide. The presentation begins at 10pm GMT, which is 2am GST on Friday, February 13 for UAE viewers.

What to expect from the showcase

Sony says the February State of Play will focus on "eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios." This suggests a mix of announcements covering both external partners and Sony's own development teams.

The company confirmed the event through its official Bluesky account, stating: "A new State of Play airs February 12. Tune in for 60+ minutes of news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios across the globe."

The 60-minute runtime makes this one of the longer State of Play presentations, indicating Sony has substantial content to share with PS5 owners.

Recent State of Play history

The last major State of Play in September 2025 featured games including Saros, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Battlefield 6, Nioh 3, and Marvel's Wolverine. Sony also held a Japan-focused special in November 2025, showcasing titles like Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake, and Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows.

Sony's confirmed first-party slate for 2026 includes Saros (April 30), Marathon (March 5), MLB the Show 26, and Marvel's Wolverine planned for Q3/Q4. Third-party games expected on PS5 include Pragmata, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Grand Theft Auto 6.

PS5 momentum continues

The announcement comes as PlayStation 5 sales continue strong momentum globally. Sony has been maintaining regular State of Play presentations to showcase upcoming content for the console, with these events becoming a key part of the company's marketing calendar.

Recent rumours have also suggested Sony is working on new PlayStation hardware, though Thursday's presentation appears focused on games rather than console announcements.
