Sony has confirmed its next State of Play showcase for 3rd September 2026, followed immediately by a separate State of Play Japan broadcast. The pairing marks a significant showcase week for the PlayStation brand, giving Sony's own studios, third-party partners, and Japanese and Asian developers dedicated slots to reveal news, with the main show closing on an extended look at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

The main State of Play will feature updates from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, potentially including titles such as Until Dawn 2 and Intergalactic, before ending with the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation segment from Square Enix. The State of Play Japan show that follows will focus on deep dives into upcoming games from studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay and announcements; the previous edition of this Japan-specific event featured a regional PS5 console model and DLC reveals for Elden Ring Nightreign and Gran Turismo 7, suggesting expectations for that segment should remain modest.
