PlayStation State of Play – everything announced, and the whole February show as it happened

This way, you’ve got all the details at a glance.

PlayStation expert, and gaming and hardware editor of eight years.

Welcome to our live build-up coverage of tonight’s State of Play presentation.

What about the potential importance of a February PlayStation State of Play show?

Is it usually in Sony’s schedule?

Well, simply put, yes - though the company has mixed it up occasionally with what it shows.

In 2023, we had a ‘normal’ State of Play show too.

So, the big question: what do we think we’llactuallysee tonight?

This one feels like a safe bet.

This is one not to be missed.

Prediction: More Death Stranding 2: On the Beach news?

To continue the playing it safe approach, this also seems like a solid bet.

Therefore could we see a new trailer or a gameplay reveal in tonight’s State of Play?

I’m specifically looking atMonster Hunter Wildswhich releases just around the corner on February 28.

This would be both a welcome bundle and one that makes sense.

I reckon this could well be a hardware addition to the State of Play.

Might we get a final look at AC Shadows before release?

Prediction: A look at Pirating in Hawaii

Oh!

What about Marathon, or a something else from Bungie?

Big Hope: Now or never for Bloodborne?

It wouldn’t be a Stae of Play withoutBloodbornehype and hope.

Obviously, the big win here would be a PS5 remaster or even a potential PC port ofBloodborne.

Hopefully, Sony is able to wake us from this accursed dream for good."

What a time to be alive that would be.

“It looks like Microsoft is fully embracing its new multi-platform strategy.

PlayStation State of Play start time reminder!

We’ve got high hopes for this presentation so ensure you get in position early and strap in.

Catch you all in a bit!

The first expansion Building Speed was free and landed in October as a speed running level.

Just like Astro’s Playroom, Astro Bot has become somewhat of a fan favorite and equally engaging.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed, PlayStation speaks to this during the State of Play.

Hope: Some decent PSVR 2 news!

The timing, though, is certainly unique for this State of Play.

With that, I’m signing off to make some popcorn for later!

With that out of the way, here’s a photo of me in a funny hat.

That means there’s just two hours to go until the big event.

It’s set to lastover40 minutes, so see to it to pencil some free time in your calendar.

Given the timing of the appearance of these listings, I would say that it’s very likely!

Prediction: Clash of the heist shooters?

There are two big co-op heist shooters on the horizon:Den of Wolvesand Sony’sFairgame$.

Could the title be releasing this year?

Remember, it’s over 40 minutes long and you probably don’t want to spend that time hungry.

Hmm, how would we rate that State of Play, all in?

I think it was alright - not spectacular, and notreallyunderwhelming.

For more reaction to the State of Play, I’ve asked my colleague Dash what he thought.

Thank you, and goodbye!

Goodbye, and see you next time!
