State of Play returns this Thursday, February 25

A new slate of game updates and deep dives coming this Thursday.

Sid Shuman Senior Director, SIE Content Communications

Time for another State of Play! This Thursday, a State of Play broadcast will serve up new updates and deep dives for 10 games coming to PS4 and PS5, including new game announcements and updates on some of the third-party and indie titles you last saw in June’s PS5 showcase. 

The show is clocking it at 30 minutes or so, give or take. Can’t wait to hear what you think! And a quick note: there won’t be PlayStation hardware or business-focused updates in this show. We’re focusing on great games set to come out in the months ahead.

Be sure to tune in on Thursday, February 25 at 2:00pm Pacific Time / 5:00pm Eastern Time / 10:00pm GMT, and you can watch it live on Twitch and YouTube.

See you Thursday!

      Days Gone going to PC in Spring 2021.

      Everyone keeps saying how they can’t get their hands on a PS5. At this point, may as well just build a PC. LOTS of games to play on PC, and the PlayStation exclusives will come in time.

      Waiting for a failure ?

      Playstation is a sinking ship

      Everybody will soon realise they made the biggest mistakes they ever had by porting thier icon games in non playstation platform for a bit of profits.

      Why now ? When ps3 was financially disaster they didn’t think of a stupid idea like this.

      Maybe because sony believed in the brand back then.

      Looks like Nintendo will destroy Sony everywhere in this earth

      Thanks to the great exclusives,
      No matter how they get old they stay a Nintendo exclusives,
      Customer trust is gold.

      @ Fast_fabulous0 – Yup Sony is treating their fans like trash,thats what happens when you’re way ahead of competition and greed speaks louder but let them forget who feeds them money.Biting the hand that feeds you always has its price.

      @Fast_fabulous0

      Listen, Nintendo bombed hard after Wii. Nintendo switch is the worst console by far, Smash ultimate is for kids and is the worst smash game too. You can praise Nintendo all you want, but don’t bash Sony because it’s not Nintendo. Sony has the best games right now, Demon’s Souls is the best and nothing holds a candle to it. Miles morales is also good, and those people complaining about the storage drive you should check out the storage capacity for the switch(32gb I think LOL). That being said, there’s a reason ps5 is usually out of stock and Nintendo Switch is usually discounted and a bargain sale console. Nintendo is selfish also, not sure if you heard of the smash melee tourney scene, but yeah check it out and you will see if Nintendo cares.

      Literally no one except the same small handful of rabid whiners care. If other people being able to play the same games as you on a different system years after the fact makes you feel less special you have much bigger problems you should be worrying about. See a shrink and try growing some personality traits beyond what corporate brand you prefer. The rest of us will be over here having fun with our games.

      @princegroove not sure if that qualifies as a hardware related question but yeah my internal SSD is slowly running out of space so would be nice to hear an update on the M2 side of things and whether Sony have their own solution ready or not

      Steal feels a little cheap that other series remasters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro managed all 3 titles.

      Then Sony only managed Medievil 1. But it cost the same as the other trilogy packs (and ran at 5fps fairly often). 😁

      with a patch for 60fps 4k checkerboard is fine… better a bloodborne 2 for ps5, or demon souls 2 with blueponit

    • Welmosca
      February 24, 2021 at 5:20 am PST

      Ugh what a pathetic gamer life you have if all you want is for them to recycle a game.Could’ve asked for Bloodborne 2 but hey no…no wonder our gaming community is in the abyss.

    • MiseryPrincess
      February 24, 2021 at 2:14 pm PST

      Completely against a “demon’s souls 2 with bluepoint”.

      If it’s not made by any members of the original studio, it’s not really a Demon Soul’s game. It would more than likely just be some generic dull title without any of the “weirdness” (or challenge) and just dilute the series with an imposter.

      If Bluepoint want to make original games again they should make their own..

    • Thaddeus13
      February 25, 2021 at 8:55 pm PST

      I don’t really think BB needs a remaster just yet, but it could be sweet… I’d just rather have a sequel.
      I completely agree with the comment that Bluepoint should NOT make DS2, or any other original Fromsoft soulsborne, for that matter. Now, a remake of Kings Field 1 and 2 (or at least 2, if I’m honest), is a whole different matter! Please…

  • roberto_c86

    Stop porting games on pc!

    • ZanFear
      February 23, 2021 at 5:38 pm PST

      Agreed! I don’t have a PS5 yet, but why bother if games will slowly go to PC anyways. You could just build a powerful PC. There’s a lot of games on Steam, free games every week from Epic, and Game Pass is such a GREAT deal for PC gamers too.

      As per Mr. Ryan (taken from IGN):

      Ryan explains that SIE assessed the reaction to that port in making the decision to release more ports, explaining that PC players “liked it and they bought it”, and that there was “no massive adverse reaction” from PlayStation players to the game heading off of consoles. “We will continue to take mission steps in this direction,” Ryan added.

    • ZanFear
      February 23, 2021 at 5:42 pm PST

      Whoops, was also going to say, Sony have been such great leaders in gaming for FOUR gaming generations. The PS2 and PS4 in particular HIGHLY successful.

      Why now all of a sudden port games to PC? I understand for consumers and from a business perspective that greater access to software will lead to more gamer purchases and higher sales. However, looking at the Xbox One, having games on PC did not help with pushing console sales. Will this negatively impact Sony? Time will tell. But gotta say, you can legally only get Nintendo video games on Nintendo, and they’re still highly successful.

    • Exell1000
      February 23, 2021 at 9:45 pm PST

      is more marketing, days gone was not a huge exclusive, move to PC new sales…hay maybe days gone 2? i mean for 500 i cant build a PC with same power of ps5

    • Brogettoku
      February 24, 2021 at 1:35 am PST

      Ok so you can buy a PS5 for $500 now and play the games now. Or you can buy a $2000 PC and play the games when they are ported 2-3 years from now. Hmm.

    • andrewsqual
      February 24, 2021 at 2:22 am PST

      Or at least stop wasting PlayStation Studios time with it. Going by their Twitter, its actually Sony Bend who will be wasting the next 7 months of their development lives on this PC port of a game that is already nearly 2 years old.

      Horizon Forbidden West was already pushed back because of all the time Guerilla wasted on the PC version of a now 4 year old game. And they didn’t even step in until June when the game actually launched and only recently in the last month or 2 are they finally going full into the sequel’s development.

    • Diegoctba911
      February 24, 2021 at 7:38 am PST

      Arrogant Jim Ryan doesn’t listen to his own costumers and keep dragging the brand to the mud.

      Soon PlayStation will be irrelevant just like Xbox, another platform without exclusives. Obviously that games like Returnal and the new Horizon are also coming to PC. Remember the “typo” of Demon’s Souls on PC? Does anyone still think it was a typo?

      If you are still trying to buy a PS5, don’t make the same mistake, just buy a PC and play all the games: PC exclusives, Bethesda games and now Sony games.

      Congratulations Jim Ryan.

    • Zampano
      February 24, 2021 at 7:54 am PST

      Nonsense. All games should be playable on any platform capable of running them. Anyone saying otherwise is deeply anti-consumer (not to mention, if you really care about the devs, you’d want their profit potential to be maximized). Does a PC user getting to experience the awesomeness of HZD diminish the quality of the game? Does it diminish your experience of playing it? Of course it doesn’t, that’d be a ridiculous thing to claim.

    • CerebralTiger
      February 24, 2021 at 2:39 pm PST

      Agreed! Please reconsider porting games to PC, Sony. You’re devaluing your own brand. Look at Nintendo and how successful it is by having long lasting IPs. Strive to be like them, not Microsoft.

      In an interview, Jim Ryan stated that there was no adverse reaction to the Horizon announcement. Well, maybe it’s because we thought that was a one-off thing. I’ve always supported first-party games by getting the pricier deluxe editions even though I’m not particularly interested in the bonus content. If this keeps up, you’ll lose the fans that spend big on your platform.

    • KnightRid
      February 25, 2021 at 2:36 am PST

      They won’t because no matter how many people complain and whine on here about it, NONE of you has gotten rid of their Playstation consoles and games nor have you quit buying.

      You want Sony to listen, stop buying….but you won’t so just keep complaining as they laugh knowing you won’t do anything about it anyway. Look at the PS5 sales and the people who will pay ridiculous prices just to get one. 4.5 million sold (4.4 million to bots probably) and you think Sony will listen to you saying….now stop it, bad Sony, keep my games exclusive…oh they aren’t my games? hmmmm. Well do it anyway.

      So sad.

    • Ralstonizer
      February 25, 2021 at 11:01 am PST

      Imagine being so hollow that your “exclusive” club (made up of millions and millions of other fans of a particular corporation) not getting certain games all to themselves strips you of the only feeling of value you have. That’s so very sad.

    • MiseryPrincess

      A PS5 “remaster” of a PS4 game?

      Isn’t that a bit of a waste of time over a simple graphics patch like every other game?

      It’s not like porting a PS3 or PS2 title on completely different hardware…

    Infamous 1&2 Remaster
    brand new Jak and Daxter
    Silent Hill announcement
    Metal Gear Solid 1 Remake and ports of the other MGS games
    More info on other previously announced games like God of War Ragnarok
    Cyberpunk 2077 re-introduction for PS5 (cancelled for PS4).

    • Franzkill

      Agree with pretty much all that. Not sure which particular dev would be best suited to a new J&D game. As for Infamous OH YEAH! Count me in for that :)

      Wonder if Sucker Punch will go back to it seeing a GOT is finished unless they are working on further content

  • Icey7

    I also would not be surprised by a Silent Hill announcement considering the long running rumors.

    Although I would much prefer a new Castlevania but my expectations from Konami are non-existent.

    However, I would love to see Bloodborne 2

      From software are working on Elden Ring right now, so it’s kind of unlikely.

      A Demon’s souls not made by them is possible, but wouldn’t really be the same. (same goes for Bloodborne 2)

      Dark Souls was essentially already Demon’s Souls 2…

    Would be great to get a commitment towards patching a set of SIE-published PS4 titles to run with enhancements on PS5.

    My picks are:
    Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy
    Bloodborne
    Death Stranding
    The Last Guardian
    Shadow of the Colossus
    Horizon
    Ratchet and Clank

    I omitted TLoU2 since I’m confident it will be getting a native port.

    As for 3rd party, Read Dead 2 and Crash Team Racing would be my top picks.

    I applaud World Wide Studios for doing this for Days Gone, Blood & Truth and God of War. Let’s get it done for these other must have titles listed above.

    • Franzkill
      February 24, 2021 at 4:18 am PST

    • MiseryPrincess
      February 24, 2021 at 2:33 pm PST

      Bloodborne, SotC and DeStranding are third party developed (and a few others technically). So it’s not really something they have much say in.

      As it’s unlikely they’d get more sales from a PS5 patch for older games (and most of them didn’t get Pro patches), it’s probably not worth their time now.

    Personal wishes while knowing that none of them is likely to be fullfilled:

    – “The Simpsons: Hit & Run” Remake/Remastered (Since Spongebob had its remake on PS4, this would absolutely make sense to me)

    – A new Jak & Daxter game (Crash 4 was released following the success of the N’sane Trilogy…so?)

    – A remake of “Hype: The Time Quest” (Please listen, Ubisoft!!!)

    Gotta say, under normal circumstances id be pretty amped about this but since i have been trying to buy a ps5 for 5 months now and am no closer to owning one then i was day 1 with zero communication about when ill be able to own one and why scalpers and bots seem to have zero problems buying thousands upon thousands of units so they can rip off consumers. This has my enthusiasm pretty low. I have owned every sony console first week including handhelds… Have spent thousands of dollars to buy Sony products (tvs,ect) so to me this is just a giant slap in the face. Hope the state of play goes well, I’m sure the scalpers will enjoy it greatly.

    I’d love to see a new Warhawk game or just remaster the PS3 version.

    Love that we only have to wait for 48hrs! Much better than giving us a week’s notice!!! You need to do this with games as well. Give us 3 months’ notice about a game rather than 3 years!
