We’ve finally gotten an announcement for the next State of Play event of the year, and it’ll focus on an upcoming PS5 looter shooter. Better yet, there’s not long to wait at all.
Since the series of shows began in 2019, Sony has used the State of Play presentations to reveal big-hitting games and details such as The Last of Us 2 release date, debut gameplay footage for Ghost of Tsushima, and more. So, it’s always worth tuning in to the State of Play live streams if you want to be alerted to any big announcements for new PS5 games.
Following the release of the PS5 Pro console, all eyes have turned back to the next State of Play – a new console will need new games to play on it, after all, even if it is a mid-gen refresh machine. Here’s what we know.
When is the next Sony State of Play?
The next State of Play event airs Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 5PM ET / 2PM PT / 10PM BST. This was announced earlier this week (April 29), along with the tease that it’ll run for 20 minutes and feature a deep-dive on Borderlands 4.
What can we expect from the next Sony State of Play?
Thanks to a recent PS Blog post, we know that the next Sony State of Play event will focus on Borderlands 4:
“In this upcoming State of Play, strap in with me and Anthony Nicholson, Senior Project Producer, for over 20 minutes of developer-guided gameplay, including missions, killer weapons, exciting Action Skills, new and returning characters, and more.” – Graeme Timmins, creative director, Gearbox Software.
Catch the show live on PlayStation’s Twitch and YouTube channels on April 30 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST / 11pm CEST.
