Every announcement at Sony’s PlayStation State of Play (September 2025)

Wake me up when September ends—or when there’s a new gaming showcase to take our minds off of existential dread.

I’M UP! A new Sony PlayStation State of Play is here yet again for another September showing off what to expect for the rest of the year, the first few months of 2026, and beyond. Before the show, Sony said that the new game SAROS from Returnal dev Housemarque will debut five minutes of gameplay, but beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess what will be shown.

The State of Play boasts “more than 35 minutes of reveals and news from developers around the world. We’ll share new looks at anticipated third-party and indie titles, plus updates from some of our teams at PlayStation Studios,” according to Sony.

Ghost of Yōtei? Resident Evil Requiem? Marvel’s Wolverine? Final Fantasy VII remake part three? Bloodborne 2? A new PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale?! If you missed the show, don’t worry, because we’ve got everything announced and shown during the State of Play down below. Read on before you miss out.
