Sony has officially locked in the next PlayStation State of Play for February 12, giving fans a mid-February date to circle on the calendar. The broadcast starts at 14:00 PT / 17:00 ET / 23:00 CEST and is expected to run around 60 minutes, making it one of the longer State of Play presentations in recent memory.
According to Sony, the show will spotlight a blend of first-party and third-party games, with a few indie titles also set to appear. That mix matters because it typically means a quicker pace, more variety, and a higher chance of surprise announcements—exactly what many PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro owners hope for when a major showcase lands.
While Sony hasn’t published a full lineup yet, anticipation is already building around several high-profile PlayStation exclusives. Fans are eager to see more of Marvel’s Wolverine, and there’s growing curiosity about Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. There’s also buzz that Saros could make an appearance, which would help round out the show with another heavyweight reveal or update.
Another big question mark is Marathon. With plenty of chatter around its development, a fresh look—especially with a release date—could be one of the event’s headline moments. Death Stranding 2 is also part of the conversation, with some speculation that the stream could touch on a PC version as well.
Beyond the known names, rumors continue to swirl about a new God of War project. If there’s ever a good time to tease it, a longer State of Play with a first-party focus would be it. And for PlayStation 5 Pro owners, this event could also be where Sony shares updates tied to PSSR 2.0, potentially offering more details on how future games will take advantage of improved upscaling and performance options.
Of course, PlayStation events often include remakes and remasters, and this State of Play is expected to follow that familiar pattern with at least a couple of refreshed classics in the mix.
There’s also reason to watch for hardware news. Recent State of Play broadcasts have quietly introduced new accessories and displays, and Sony still has lingering product questions to answer—especially for previously revealed gear that hasn’t yet received pricing or release timing. With the company’s recent habit of slipping in hardware updates, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another PlayStation-branded device show up alongside the game announcements.
With a full hour on the schedule and a promised mix of first-party, third-party, and indie games, the February 12 State of Play is shaping up to be a major checkpoint for PlayStation’s 2026 roadmap—and a potentially big night for new trailers, release dates, and unexpected reveals.
