Overview

• Sony is reportedly breaking its six-year pattern of hosting May PlayStation Showcases or State of Play events, with no summer presentation expected in 2025.
• Industry insiders NateDrake and John Harker suggest the next major PlayStation event is likely to occur in September, though this remains unconfirmed.
• The lean content slate, including the imminent release of Death Stranding 2 and existing details on Ghost of Yotei, may contribute to the absence of a summer event.
• Sony may rely on alternative platforms like Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest for interim announcements, as it has done in previous years.
• If true, this marks the first time since 2019 that Sony has not had a significant presence during the summer gaming season, signaling a possible shift in its marketing approach.
