Against all odds, a PS5 State of Play with over 40 minutes of game reveals is happening tomorrow

Alright, so here’s the scoop. Sony decided to throw us a curveball and announced this State of Play thing — typical of them to pop it on us last minute, right? Like, just yesterday they blurted out that, yep, it’s officially happening. Not like we weren’t glued to rumors all this time. Anyhow, June’s the month, and no, don’t hold your breath for any spectacular first-party games.

Ah, before I forget — if you’re into cookies (the digital type), there’s some embed nonsense where you have to fiddle with settings. Why? I have no idea.

So tomorrow’s the big day, June 4, mark your calendar or whatever. It’s going live at this funny blend of times: 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern, and some other zones for the rest of the world. Sony’s blog teasingly mumbles about news and updates for PS5. But “highlights a selection of great games”? Sounds fluffy. Kind of like, “We have surprises, but we’re not telling!” What’s with the hush-hush on whether it’s first or third-party, huh? Left me scratching my head.

Oh, and — this isn’t just a quick flash. Over 40 minutes of our lives — here’s hoping it’s worth the popcorn. You can catch it live via PlayStation’s Twitch and YouTube. Standard operating procedure these days.

Now, brace yourself because it’s one of those weeks. Not stopping with Sony, you got the Summer Game Fest kicking off on Friday, June 6. And bam, right after that, IO Interactive has their IOI Showcase — packed week, no?

By the time Sunday, June 8 rolls around, Xbox is stepping in with their own extravaganza. Following that, keep an eye out for The Outer Worlds 2 bit. EA and Ubisoft, though? They’re playing it coy. But do you think they’ll really stay out of the limelight? Probably not. Surprises might sneak in. So, prepped and ready, folks? Let the game revelations begin!
