PlayStation will stream a major State of Play broadcast this week, featuring over an hour of news and reveals, including the latest updates from its own teams within PlayStation Studios.
The event will be held this Thursday, February 12 at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm UK time — and as ever, IGN will be reporting live.
Sony has said that the broadcast will run to “60+ minutes” — suggesting fans have a meaty show to look forward to. But what could PlayStation have up its sleeves?
Sony’s last major State of Play broadcast, held back in September 2025, finally treated fans to a good look at Marvel’s Wolverine, which is in development by the talented team behind the console’s various Spider-Man titles: PlayStation studio Insomniac Games. Other games showcased included Saros, the next project from Returnal studio Housemarque, as well as third-party titles such as Battlefield 6 and Nioh 3.
The company then held a smaller-scale State of Play in November 2025 focused solely on Japanese titles, and it was here we got a look at Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Elden Ring Nightreign expansion The Forsaken Hollows, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and more.
PlayStation fans will certainly be keen to see more of Wolverine and Saros, and potentially discover a release date for the former. We’re also likely to see something of Bungie’s long-delayed Marathon, which will finally arrive on March 5 — less than a month away.
Saros has already been dated for April 30, though currently all we know for certain of Wolverine’s arrival is that he’ll land in the second half of this year. (With GTA 6 due on November 16, it’ll likely be earlier, and well clear of that.) Last week, a tease from Insomniac Games hinted at Wolverine meeting Daredevil in the game. And, of course, we just got a first look at multiplayer Horizon spin-off Hunters Gathering. Perhaps we’ll get more news on early play sessions?
Third-party games set for PS5 in the coming months include Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Pragmata, which just got a showing in Nintendo’s Partner Direct, Square Enix’s climactic Life is Strange Reunion, Hitman developer IO Interactive’s 007 First Light and Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight from Warner Bros. Games.
The confirmation of a State of Play this week will mean that all three major platform holders will have held some form of announcement broadcast within the first six weeks of 2026 — though Nintendo fans still hope there is a dedicated first-party Nintendo Direct also waiting in the wings with more news on the company’s own games (and perhaps a new 3D Mario).
For now, though, join us here on IGN for all of the news and reveals from this week’s State of Play in just a few days.
