What to Expect From the State of Play on September 24, 2025

PlayStation has confirmed a new State of Play livestream for Wednesday, September 24, 2025, bringing more than 35 minutes of updates, preview looks, and announcements from PlayStation Studios and third-party developers. The broadcast kicks off at 2:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Eastern / 11:00 PM CEST, with Japanese viewers able to join in at 6:00 AM JST the following morning. It will be streamed via PlayStation's official channels on YouTube , Twitch , and also TikTok . 

One of the major highlights confirmed ahead of the show is an extended look at Saros, the upcoming PS5 exclusive from Housemarque, set to release in 2026. The presentation will include nearly five minutes of gameplay footage captured on PS5, giving fans a deeper sense of what Saros looks and plays like in motion. 

Besides Saros, the event promises additional updates from both first-party and partner studios, plus new reveals of anticipated indie and third-party titles. Sony is keeping details tight, but the implication is that this State of Play will mix both big and smaller scale announcements. 

Timing & Length

The show begins at:

• 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET

• 11 PM CEST

• 6 AM JST (Thursday, for Japanese viewers) 

It will last more than 35 minutes, giving Sony space to showcase several titles rather than a brief tease. 

What To Expect

Given the 35-minute format and the emphasis on both first-party and partner content, fans have a few strong expectations:

• More on Saros, especially seeing its world, combat mechanics, and how its roguelike/progression features will work live.

• Reveals or announcements for other major PS5 exclusives.

• Sneak peeks at indie titles that haven't been in the spotlight.

• Updates on DLCs or content expansions for existing popular Playstation titles.

This State of Play appears to be more than just a placeholder — with the confirmed deep dive into Saros alone, Sony is setting the tone for high-expectation content. While it's unlikely every reveal will be a blockbuster, the mix of first-party, indie, and partner news means it's worth tuning in for anyone with a PS5 or who follows PlayStation gaming.
