Sony will be sipping on champagne and snails soon, as it heads to the French capital for its surprise Paris Games Week 2017 press conference. The platform holder opted to eschew its annual European media briefing last year, but it’s going all-out this term, bridging the gap between E3 2017 and the upcoming PSX 2017 with an event in the Old World. But where can you watch all of the action unfold – and most importantly, when will the press conference begin?
Sony PlayStation’s Paris Games Week 2017 Press Conference
What is Sony PlayStation’s Paris Games Week 2017 press conference?
Sony has a long history of hosting PlayStation press conferences in Europe, dating all the way back to German convention Leipzig in the years prior to Gamescom. While it doesn’t host these as regularly as it used to, it’ll be attending Paris Games Week for a second time on 30th October – and the word on the street is that like Aerosmith you won’t want to miss a thing.
What time is Sony PlayStation’s Paris Games Week 2017 press conference?
Monday, 30th October 2017 @ 3PM GMT
- North America: 8am PDT / 9am MDT / 10am CDT / 11am EDT
- UK/Ire: 3pm GMT
- Europe: 4pm CET / 5pm EET
- Asia/Oceania: 12am (Tue) JST / 11pm AWST / 2am (Tue) AEDT
Please note that, as with E3 2017, the actual press conference will begin later than the abovementioned time, but Sony has lined up a live pre-show that will include new trailers and announcements. The platform holder claims there'll be updates on 21 titles during the pre-show alone, including seven all-new reveals.
Where can I watch Sony PlayStation’s Paris Games Week 2017 press conference?
We’ll have it all here on Push Square, of course! We’ll be rolling out the red carpet for our usual roster of neat features, including live video, live blogging, live chat, and… Well, you get the idea. We’ll also bring you all of the news, trailers, and reaction in the aftermath, so make sure you bookmark the site and sign up for an account.
What will be announced at Sony PlayStation’s Paris Games Week 2017 press conference?
Historically, Sony’s European press conferences have been home to quirky, out-there projects like Dreams and WiLD. We’d expect a big focus on indie content considering it was completely absent at E3 2017, and we also anticipate PlayStation VR will play a big role in the briefing. However, the platform holder has been hyping this one up more than we expected, so we guess anything is possible.

I'm hoping for a SotC release date and more info about EDF Iron Rain.
Neither is likely, but I can hope.
@sketchturner I actually think a Shadow of the Colossus date is possible. It recently got rated in a few countries, so it can't be far off.
I was thinking it was about 5 UK time, oh well. A SotC date would be cool but Sony have been very reluctant to give out early release dates of late. Frankly I wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't show much, just leaves more for PSX. I'm still adamant that this show exists because their going to do some kind of Pro price cut to competitivly compete with xbox and Switch this Christmas.
sly Cooper 5 word up son.I can feel it
God of war.release date.sucker punch new ip.agent. the getaway.Detroit release date.and a new parasite eve word up son
..as long as they announce a reboot of Armored Core and Tenchu, I'll be happy.. (we can all wish)..
@adf86 Definitely agree with you about the price drop thing. Timing is perfect for that sort of move.
"Historically, Sony’s European press conferences have been home to quirky, out-there projects like Dreams and WiLD."
No. Gamescom events were such. Pgw in 2015 was different. Thats right there, Sony announced big titles: GTS and Detroit. Dreams was annoinced on E3.
I expect new game from Sucker Punch and would like The Order 2
I hope there will be a news about Detroit
And maybe Dream?! Who knows
Call me crazy, but what if Rocksteady will announce their next game there? I don’t think it’s likely to happen, but man it’ll be good if it did.
Ouch 11 pm my time. That’s just in the tempted to watch it zone but I really should sleep 😂
Means I'll have to find a way to get home earlier.
@Neolit Good question, I would guess probably £299, though if Sony want to be super aggressive £250. That way it'll be a huge 200 quid cheaper then the Xbox One X, the slim could get similar cuts as well. It all depends on how worried Sony are of Xbox taking sales off PS4 this Christmas.
@Neolit @adf86 I would be shocked if they went that low with the PS4 Pro, that's crazy aggressive. I think it'll probably go to £299 and they'll call it a day; it's such a big gulf that it positions the product well against the Xbox One X, which I don't think they'll be too worried about at all.
Also gives them room to move again if they need to.
@get2sammyb I agree that 250 would be crazy and tbh I don't want Sony cos that tells me their worried about the X and are reacting to it. Which is not what they want to be doing, MS have been the reacting company this gen while Sony kept their own pace and plans. Like Andrew House once said about MS "we've not changed our story".
Let's hope people keep their expectations realistic.
I feel like Sony are somewhat a victim of their own success having delivered such stellar conferences over the last few years, now people's expectations for each conference are almost impossible for Sony to live up too.
I just intend to sit back with a nice brew and enjoy the conference for what it is, if anything new is announced I will simply view it as a bonus.
I hope they actually drop price on VR headsets. Skipping the conference, that is exactly the time my shift starts.
I keep forgetting about Paris Games Week! Looking forward to it
I really don't know what to expect, not sure if the new Sucker Punch's game will be on Paris Games Week, PSX or the next E3.
Would love more details for Dreams and Wild, also Spyro trilogy remastered.
Games that i would like but no way will be announced:
Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Vanquish 2.
I'm not expecting anything massive from PGW. I think Detorit is a given, and Dreams may have a chance at re-appearing.
I think any big announcements like Sucker Punch's new game and Bloodborne 2 (maybe plz) would be saved for PSX.
@PS_Nation I'm not expecting it anytime soon, but we really should expect another Ratchet and Clank game at some point given how awesome the remake was. Though preferably it would be a completely new game.
@ThroughTheIris56 We will probably have a sequel of the remake after Spider-Man. Insomniac also said that the sales were really good.
Won't this be streamed live through PS4? If not that sucks what's the point in having a good streaming console if events like this ain't on it.
@Nakatomi _Uk Watch the language -Tasuki-
Dreams and WiLD update is the only thing I'm looking forward to!
@PS_Nation That would be amazing. So glad to see another Sony exclusive doing well.
@ThroughTheIris56 Bloodborne 2 would drive everyone crazy lol.
Yes, watching it unfold on pushsquare as Im off until next Thursday. Get in!
1)ICO remake comes with Shadow of the Collosus
2)Dark Cloud 3
3)Demon Souls remake / Demon Souls 2
4)Legend of Dragoon remake ( i can only hope)
5)Hopefully a lot of VR for the VR owners.
😁
@PS_Nation That Game Deserves A Sequel. Not my kind of thing normally but picked it up for 20 quid and it was a blast!
3PM? UK? COOL I will watch that while sipping my Cup of Tea Glad it's not a silly USA time like E3 is :-/
Yay I don't have to get up at 2am!
I'll be working, so I hope I'll be able to stream it from my smartphone.
@adf86 Agree though MS are usually reactive rather than innovative...
Mac OS > Windows
Wii > Kinect
iPod > Zune
iPad > Surface
PS4 (more powerful than X1) > X1X
iOS > Windows Phone OS (after the Widows Mobile OS)
