PlayStation Schedules Back-to-Back State of Play Shows for Sept. 3

The split program funnels global updates into a morning showcase followed by a dedicated Japan episode that concentrates regional deep dives and publisher announcements.

Overview

  • Sony will air two consecutive State of Play livestreams on Thursday, September 3, 2026, with the main show starting at 6 a.m. PDT / 9 a.m. EDT and State of Play Japan to run immediately afterward.
  • Both broadcasts will stream on PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels so global audiences can watch the full double bill live.
  • PlayStation has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will close the main State of Play with an extended look at the game.
  • Sony has not disclosed runtimes or a full lineup, which has prompted industry speculation about other major appearances such as a possible Naughty Dog update or a Marvel’s Wolverine trailer but those reports remain unconfirmed.
  • State of Play Japan will be hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji and is positioned to highlight games from Japan and Asia ahead of Tokyo Game Show, a format that may concentrate regional announcements and shape viewer reaction to Sony’s broader digital-ownership policies.
