Buckle up, gamers, we may be in for the biggest State of Play in a while.
It’s definitely going to be the longest one, according to PlayStation, with reveals and announcements set to take up over an hour and “spotlight eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios.”
I can’t help it, I always get excited for a good gaming showcase, and this one has the potential to be a great one considering so much of 2026’s release calendar is still up in the air. Games we know about and are expecting will get some shine, but as ever, people will be tuning in for all of the surprise announcements and reveals, too.
State of Play starts on Feb. 12 at 4pm CT, and we’ll be covering all the reveals here.

Soulslike gameplay and heavy metal music? Yeah, sure, why not. It looks like this game’s got some co-op aspects to it, too, as you play as a half human, half angel fighting all kinds of ugly monsters.
