But how exactly can you watch the latest State of Play? Here’s all you need to know:

When is the next State of Play?

PlayStation’s live stream event will be back in just a matter of hours. The latest edition is set to take place today (June 4).

Sony held a Borderland’s 4 focused State of Play in April - and it followed an event held in February of this year. Among the announcements back in the winter were Days Gone Remastered and Housemarque’s follow-up to Reternal - Saros.

How to watch the State of Play?

It is set to be broadcast on both PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch pages. Other creators may be holding their own live reactions to the State of Play.

What time is the State of Play on today?

The event is set to take place later on June 4 - but the exact time will depend on where you are in the world. For viewers in the UK, it is set to start at 10pm and is due to run for around 40 minutes.

It will start at 2pm PT/ 5pm ET for American audiences, Sony has announced. Fans in Europe will have to wait until 11pm CEST for the livestream to begin.

What to expect from the State of Play?

In the announcement, PlayStation doesn’t give much away. The blog post reads: “State of Play returns June 4! Watch live for news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5. The show highlights a selection of great games from creators across the globe.”

The highly anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima - Ghost of Yotei - is due to be released in October. But PlayStation has been tight lipped about what its studios are working on beyond that.
