It seems like there might be a February State of Play earlier this year, where we got a first look at several remasters, DLC for Dive the Diver, a release date for Metal Gear Sold Delta: Snake Eater, and the announcement of Saros, a new IP from the Returnal studio, Housemarque, which will star actor Rahul Kohli. Since then, it's been relatively quiet on the PlayStation front, but it seems like this is the calm before the potential storm.

According to a statement made by Jeff Grubb during an episode of the Game Mess Morning series from Giant Bomb, there will likely be a PlayStation event in June, and it is likely a State of Play, and not a big showcase (via VGC).

According to Grubb, PlayStation had not decided if it would hold its PlayStation Showcase or opt for a smaller show instead until recently, with Grubb saying: “I said a couple of months ago that I heard that they were discussing going back and forth about doing a Showcase or a State of Play, sounds like they probably settled on a State of Play."

How Likely Is A June State Of Play?

A June Event Would Make Sense

While nothing has been confirmed by PlayStation or Sony, Grubb has a solid track record for predicting major events in the industry. Recently, he predicted the announcement and shadow-drop of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered about a week before the reveal became official. However, Grubb is also noting that his sources within PlayStation seem to be less willing to discuss the event, saying: “They are being very guarded."

The lack of concrete information and sources being more defensive than usual is leading Grubbs to believe there could be a major announcement at the event, saying: “That is not based on anything other than it was abnormally difficult to squeeze the information out. and the fact that no one else is really hearing about it yet makes me think’s like they are really locking things down." He added that his sources being quiet could also mean nothing, stating: "...maybe they do have something cooking, or maybe this is just a new initiative from PlayStation that has nothing to do with the content."

What's Coming From PlayStation This Year?

There's Quite A Lot Coming And Not A Lot Of Information

There are still quite a few big PlayStation releases coming this year, some of which we have little information on. Ghost of Yotei is releasing on October 2, and while we have new story details, we have barely seen any gameplay of the highly anticipated follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set for release on June 26, and recently had a massive preview event, so a launch trailer or additional announcement could come, too.

The event has not been confirmed, but it seems likely given Grubb's track record, but with Summer Game Fest scheduled for June 6, and the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase set for June 8, it seems like if there is a PlayStation event in June, it would probably be in mid-late June if it happens. Hopefully, we'll get confirmation about the event soon, and maybe there is a big announcement in store from PlayStation.
