The next State of Play presentation is shaping up to beSony's biggest broadcast of 2026 so far, and expectations are already climbing. With the State of Play scheduled just weeks afterMicrosoft's January showcase, attention has quickly shifted back to PlayStation, where fans are hoping for a packed line-up of reveals, updates and long-awaited surprises.

Sony has confirmed that the upcoming State of Play will run for more than an hour and will feature titles from first-party studios, major third-party partners and indie developers.

While the company has not named specific games, industry chatter suggests a mix of near-term releases and bigger projects further down the road.

As always, speculation is running wild. Some games are widely expected to appear, while others remain long-shot dreams. Here's a breakdown of what fans can realistically expect when the broadcast begins.

Sony's FebruaryState of Playis scheduled for the evening of 12 February in North America, with the broadcast rolling into 13 February for viewers in parts of Europe and Asia. The stream begins at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which translates to 10:00 p.m. in the UK.

The presentation will run for more than 60 minutes, making it one of the longer State of Play events in recent memory. Sony has said the show will include updates on first-party titles, third-party releases and indie projects, indicating a wide-ranging showcase rather than a single-game spotlight.

Fans will be able to watch the State of Play live through PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels. As usual, the broadcast is expected to include new trailers, gameplay demos and release date announcements for upcoming PlayStation titles.

One of the most anticipated appearances is Marvel's Wolverine, the next major project from Insomniac Games. The studio has remained mostly quiet since its initial teaser, and a gameplay reveal or story trailer would instantly become the highlight of the show.

Intergalactic, the mysterious sci-fi title teased during earlier PlayStation events, is another strong candidate. Sony has been gradually building awareness around the project, and a proper gameplay demonstration would fit perfectly in a long State of Play broadcast.

The game is being made by The Last of Us developers, Naughty Dog, and is currently in the pipeline to be its largest game to date.
