How to Watch PlayStation’s September 2026 State of Play

Key Points:

• Sony is hosting two consecutive State of Play streams on September 3: a general State of Play and a State of Play Japan, marking the second and third showcases of the year following the June event.
• The first stream begins at 6am PT / 9am ET, followed immediately by the Japan-focused stream hosted by Yuki Kaji; both will be available in English and Japanese with subtitles.
• Sony promises updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and partners, including an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation, with possible reveals related to Marvel’s Wolverine, God of War Laufey, and other anticipated titles.
• IGN will cover the events live with pre-show and post-show discussions, liveblogs, and streaming across multiple platforms including their website, YouTube, Twitch, and social media channels.
• The streams come amid ongoing controversy over Sony’s plan to end physical game releases by 2028, which is expected to generate significant community discussion during the broadcasts.
