- A reliable insider states PlayStation is discussing plans to return with a showcase in 2025.
- The gaming giant skipped this event last year after disappointing fans in 2023.
- A showcase would allow fans to learn more about the lineup of first-party games heading to the PS5 in 2026 and beyond.
PlayStation’s latest State of Play was far from the explosive first event many expected from the gaming giant in 2025. Despite featuring exciting titles like Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Tides of Annihilation, and more, it also introduced games like Days Gone Remastered.
Meanwhile, the likes of Ghost of Yotei and the rumored God of War remasters were nowhere to be seen. With the State of Play behind us, reports now suggest a full showcase could be coming from PlayStation during the summer this year.
Why it matters: PlayStation limited itself to State of Plays in 2024, and fans have been craving more details from the gaming giant’s first-party teams. This has led to demand for a bigger event than the traditional State of Play.
The information comes from reliable industry insider Jeff Grubb, who states that PlayStation is currently debating whether it should host a major event this year.
Grubb states that a showcase would give PlayStation the opportunity to feature titles like Wolverine on the big stage. Apart from Wolverine, the gaming giant would likely share additional details on its games lineup for 2026 and beyond at such an event.
They (PlayStation) are considering a showcase.

Following its success last year, Xbox is also expected to have another huge event this year. As such, PlayStation could attempt to counter its rival’s momentum through a major showcase of its own.
It should be noted that Grubb accurately stated that this week’s State of Play would be mildly interesting at best. Because of his reliability on such events in the past, there is a solid chance that this report will come to fruition.
PlayStation’s last showcase also drew criticism for being quite disappointing, so expectations will be higher than ever should the gaming giant announce another event on a similar scale.
