Sony will host two consecutive PlayStation State of Play livestreams on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The first event starts at 6 a.m. PT (9 a.m. ET, 3 p.m. CEST, 10 p.m. JST) and will include updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners. It will conclude with an "extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation," the final chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project, Sony said [1, 2, 3, 4].
Immediately following the first broadcast, a second livestream — State of Play Japan — will air, hosted by Japanese voice actor Yuki Kaji. This show will focus on games from Japan and Asia, offering "deep dives into upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more," streamed in Japanese with English subtitles [1, 2, 3, 4].
Both events will be available on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch channels. Sony has not specified the exact lengths of the livestreams [1, 2, 3].
Fans anticipate updates on several titles, including the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine, set to launch on PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026. Other games that may receive coverage include God of War Laufey, Until Dawn 2, the Ghost of Yotei expansion, and possibly Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, though there is some skepticism about its inclusion [1, 2, 3, 4].
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is scheduled for release in spring 2027 [4]. Livestream chat is expected to include discussion about Sony's plan to discontinue physical disc support starting January 2028, a move that has drawn fan protests [3, 4].
The first State of Play livestream will begin on September 3 at 6 a.m. Pacific Time, followed immediately by the Japan-focused broadcast. Marvel's Wolverine will release on September 15, while Final Fantasy 7 Revelation arrives the following spring.
