State of Play/summer Showcase

It is that time of year when the big game publishers start to announce their massive summer game showcases, and Sony has just penciled itself in with the next PlayStation State of Play.

Rumors are abound that Nintendo is planing what could be the first proper Nintendo Direct of the year for June, Summer Game Fest – arguably the biggest game showcase of the year – starts on June 5, and the massive Xbox 2026 Games Showcase is landing on its usual Sunday slot come June 7. But it looks like PlayStation will be first out of the gate this year in just under 2 weeks from now, as it has now announced its big summer show for June 2.

Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to announce the next State of Play and it’s going to be a big one.

Set to feature roughly an hour’s worth of upcoming game releases, the major PlayStation summer State of Play showcase goes live at 2:00 p.m. PT/5:00 p.m. ET on June 2 this year.
