Explained simply
State of Play is Sony’s showcase for upcoming PlayStation games, where developers share trailers, release dates and other announcements. The presentations often cover games from Sony’s own studios as well as titles made by other publishers, so the line-up can span many genres and stages of development.
The key players include Sony and the studios and publishers behind each game, such as Marvel, Capcom, Square Enix and Konami. Some titles are made for PlayStation consoles, while others are also planned for Xbox or PC; release plans can vary by game.
These announcements help players see what is coming to PS5 and when, and give developers a chance to build interest in their games. They can also matter to people choosing a console or planning what to play, though a trailer or announced date does not always show exactly how a finished game will turn out.
