Revealed release dates, sequels, and gameplay for big PlayStation games like Marvel's Wolverine and God of War: Laufey.
Fans hoped for GTA 6 news, but Rockstar was absent, likely due to publishers scheduling releases around its launch window.
The showcase featured a diverse lineup, from horror experiences to fan-favorite franchise revivals like Onimusha and Rayman.
Sony delivered more than 60 minutes of reveals during its June 2026 State of Play presentation.
The showcase featured long-awaited release dates, surprise sequels, franchise revivals, and fresh gameplay footage from some of PlayStation’s biggest upcoming titles.
The biggest game that wasn’t at State of Play may have been Grand Theft Auto VI. While fans hoped for a new trailer or PlayStation marketing partnership announcement, Rockstar remained absent from the showcase. Several analysts believe publishers are actively scheduling releases around GTA 6’s launch window, which could explain why so many State of Play games landed in September and October instead.
From Marvel’s Wolverine and God of War: Laufey to horror experiences, action adventures, and fan-favorite franchises returning from the past, here’s a look at the biggest games announced during the event.
