Sony will hold a major PlayStation briefing this month, according to Giant Bomb tipster Jeff Grubb. The reliable reporter has been beating this drum for some time, and doubled down on the rumour during a podcast overnight, stressing the show is still very much on track for “this month apparently”. He added: “Whether it's next week or the week after I honestly don't know. [It] could be the end of the month, but I won't be surprised if this does actually happen next week. It could happen at any moment.”
PlayStation runs a tight ship these days, and leaks coming out of the company are rare, but we know from past experience that Sony usually hosts some kind of major livestream during the summer. Last year it opted to get out in front of the Summer Game Fest chaos by sharing its plans in May, so if Grubb’s accurate then it looks set to revisit that strategy this year.
With titles like Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade already released, the upcoming list of PS5 exclusives is looking a little light again. Sony will want to take this opportunity to provide updates on in-development projects like Marvel’s Wolverine, while also announcing some new titles as well. Remember, the PS5 Pro is also strongly rumoured to release later this year, so it might want to share the first details on that during this hypothetical broadcast as well.

This could be a great opportunity to show off not just Wolverine, but the leaked Venom game! They could even show gameplay on the PS5 pro, which will definitely be shown 100%. Plus, we haven't seen anything from Silent Hill 2 in a while. Same goes for whatever Bluepoint is making as well! We still have no idea what they're up to, whether it's another remake (Bloodborne plz), or a new IP, or both! Either way, I'm hyped!
@Brawl4002 There's so much we could see during this PS Showcase for sure! Obviously we know Sony's cautious of announcing stuff too early these days, so I'm sure it'll still hold plenty back, but I think we're definitely going to see a handful of big new first-party reveals here.
I'm excited!
I’m mainly looking for some Silent Hill 2 news. Everything else is a cherry on top. …and I hope there are a lot of cherries.
PS5 Pro I couldn’t care less about personally but I’ll still want to see what will be so “must have” about it.
Won't expect much as i never do now. My wish? Spider-Man 2 DLC and maybe finally a reveal of Bluepoints new game and yeah a Wolverine trailer considering X-Men is on a big high right now what with the excellent show and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film.
Sony is the only one left to announce a show for the summer. Even in spite of an underwhelming show last year, I’m excited even at the possibility of another. Here’s hoping to one happening, and a much better one at that this year 😎
learned from past showcases to expect very little. we won't see any major sony releases until summer-fall 2025 in all liklihood. this year is a wash for sony. so if you want to see a trailer for a game releasing 12-18 months from now, sure.
@Zenos and what’s the point of PS5 Pro if no new AAA games announced for this year?
If I had to guess, gameplay reveal of Concord(maybe with a 2025 delay) Silent Hill 2 release date, Lost Soul Aside release date, Convallaria delay, Until Dawn Release date, Ghosts 2 reveal, Venom and SM2 dlc reveal, and I really hope we might get Cory Balrog's game finally revealed and Asobis next game
But generation z don’t care lol
@get2sammyb Keep your expectations low at all times
Too early for Tlou3?
Not getting excited. Not getting excited. Not ge... what if they show Astrobot?!
Please let there be some 1st party exclusives or we'll never hear the end of it. Please let there be some ps5 Pro coverage or we'll never hear the end of it.
Hope it won’t disappoint
I really want sign of life for a new SOCOM game, an update on Splinter Cell and an announcement for Naughty Dog’s next game (albeit all with CGI with a release of years away I’m sure). Oh, and ending with Ghost of Tsushima 2.
@BIG3 it would be pretty funny if they shadow dropped factions after telling everyone that they cancelled it.
@Zenos what is the point of the Pro if there is nothing to play?
I'd love to see new sony IPs that aren't some Super hero game based off of last centuries comic characters either. This current console generation needs to return back to creativity across the board. I know that the suits have taken over gaming completely and expect everything to turn huge profits. Just like hollywood expects every movie to make marvel money. Which is why we don't really get much B,C, and D flicks anymore. The gaming industry has suffered the same fate as a whole.
Rumour of a MediEvil 2 remake has my heart racing
@itsfoz the SOCOM games were great man! Those games are worth firing up my OG 60gb PS3 to play. With todays console bandwidth, those games could really be great.
If they don’t hold the conference/state of play/showcase this month, stop using Grubb.
@Dr_ENT It could look good on the desk, like the OG PS5 has done pretty much for the last 3 years ...
@Porco Hm, I'm hoping DS2 will arrive on a beach this fall ...
My hope is that Bend Studio will reveal something fresh
@Nepp67 why do people keep going round saying keep your expectations low. Why do you care so much what other people feel? Get a life man.
@DiggledDog, forgot about that one!! I wonder if they are still working on the remake of Tomba!
@Pingusbumhole Bro take a chill pill, I'm just suggesting.
Remake, remaster, reboot - the last one isn't so bad if only Sony would listen to what people want rebooting (I'm looking at the PS3 discs containing the Motorstorm series as I write this...)
C'mon, Sony give us a reason to be excited about the PS5.
You never know, perhaps they might introduce the new head of Playstation - only this one might have a soul!
I'll believe it once I see it. Truthfully, Sony got me to a point of not caring in advanced, though the last thing I want to be is jaded about my favourite hobby on my past favourite place to play.
Actually found more excitement in the iii stream than past state of plays.
@get2sammyb I doubt Sony has been more careful announcing things too early, otherwise we wouldn't have info like the wolverine game and some others.
The only big ones that really hold up to that standard is Nintendo, and most other Japanese studios.
Days gone 2? Just kidding 😂. I really hope a news for wolverine game. Perhaps little devil inside and another silent hill 2 remake
Here we go! That time of year where we all get our hopes up and then left disappointed and thinking WTF did I just see
Dreaming about a new Motorstorm, Resistance, Killzone, old-school God of War, plenty of new IP:s, and...
Never mind, won't happen...
I don't expect much. It will take years to get out of the live service nonsense they got thrust into by incompetent management.
PS 5 PRO? Exactly what games are stretching the PS5 at the moment?
I am curious about Concord. Held really close to the chest and the first FPS in over a decade from Sony.
My expectations are a bit lower since I think they gonna do a September showcase for the Pro with more new announcements.
If true, I'm expecting some PS studios trailers, Resident Evil 9, kingdom hearts 4, silent hill 2 release date announcement, and some other third party games.
I'm not expecting a PS5 pro announcement, except if they go full steam with first party games.
We've heard this before. Will keep my expectations deliberately low.
I'll remain extremely pessimistic about the quality of this showcase until proven otherwise. I refuse to get excited about it this time around.
@sanderson72 Yup, and the Resistance series ...
I'm so glad we have such great industry insiders, giving us a heads up on an event that Sony have held around the same time for the last few years now. Where would we be without them?!
The caterpillar from Labyrinth told me that Herman Hulst's VR Workout will be the "One Last Thing" of the show.
@Porco @Dr_ENT
I'd say put two and two together, and maybe bookmark these thoughts. Because if they are releasing the Pro this year, there is a good chance they will reveal something that is coming out in November/December as well, or alongside the Pro.
It would be surprising, but not impossible. 6/7 months until holiday season, and we also know that they don't like to announce games or release dates until they are really ready to set them in stone these days.
Everything points to there being some kind of shock announcement.
But of course, for it to be a shock, we can't go in expecting something 😅
I'd like to think we get actual reveals from Bend and Sucker Punch. Concord release and actual reveal, FairGame$ deeper dive and release. Insomniac are wizards to I expect Wolverine and a release window. Housemarque next game reveal. AstroBot reveal and release date for this year (let's go), nothing from ND, SSM, FireSprite or Media Molecule. Gotta be a big year. Been baking in the oven a log time
@Areus Haha. Not gonna happen but yes!
Something amazing on VR2, hopefully Astrobot would be great. To justify that ridiculous price I paid for that damn headset. To be honest will probably sell on if nothing great shows up this year.
@BIG3 Yup, way too early. You'll see ND's other project first
I hope they show a non-VR Astrobot or Astrobot with the ability to play both versions like Resident evil. Give me this and I'll be happy.
About time! Hope it's not more remakes and live service games
Guaranteed that we will be seeing the remake of Until Dawn at this presentation considering that it’s supposedly out this year
Most of these wishes from everyone has me worried that we’re gonna get a bunch of 💩 games.. Example: Medievil 2 remastered?? Seriously?? How about a new Burnout game or some news on the upcoming Bioshock game, Judas game, more GTA 6 news, or how about a new original IP altogether?
Enough of these gd remakes and remasters already pulls hair out
@Pingusbumhole Chill tf out man. It's a reasonable suggestion lmao
@itsfoz this guy gets it. New Socom, New naughty dog game (not another remake pls), ghosts 2. Adding bluepoint game (they earnt the shot to make whatever they want), astrobots game, something to do with bloodbourne (even a ps5 patch) and a new ip game from Sony. Not asking much 😂
Really odd choice of words in the title - 'glut' means an excessive amount of something, more than is needed or wanted. Don't think that really applies to Sony's recent, or probably future, release schedule.
@Brawl4002 honestly , i think we've seen a good amount of silent hill , maybe a new trailer with a release date , but i don't want to see too much more , would like some stuff in the game to be a surprise.
i'd love to see what Corey's been working on , along with bluepoint and asobi. not sure if we'll see sony bend , but that would be a bonus, maybe sucker punch? and maybe a surprise from naughty dog. i think re9 will be revealed though.
Sony already sent the update to psvr2 to allow it access to be used on the PC directly. They just need to explain now how this will work and if they will sell an adapter? Its possible they break this down here?
@Ravix i have a strong suspicion that gta vi was supposed to be the game that launches with the pro. that's no longer in the cards now and i very much doubt sony will be able to fill that void. they already confirmed that there won't be anything from sony studios until next year so it rules out most wishful thinking possibilities. a bloodborne remaster would be pretty awesome if they could pull that off (since it isn't technically a new game and might be an exception to their statement) but that is just more wishful thinking haha.
@BeenGamingSince_83 i finished death stranding a few weeks ago. an interesting experience but i'm in no rush to return to the beach unless the game is fundamentally different from the first. very curious how the sequel will differentiate itself. all i know is, it cannot rely on delivering packages as its core mechanic again.
It's time for everyone to pull out their wish lists and then get mad when Sony doesn't address any of them. It seems it's our favourite internet pastime...lol...
@MikeOrator i feel like i keep my expectations pretty realistic
@twitchtvpat
I wasn't addressing anyone one person in the comment section, but to use the term word "glut" more appropriately, we are going to see a glut of "Sony Just Died", "PS5 IS FAIL" and "SONY HATE THEIR FANS" style Youtube videos no matter what is announced...lol..
@MikeOrator oh i totally agree with you , but people just use that stuff so some one will watch their videos and so they can get put in the algo and maintain their viewcount.
Socom style game be great spent many hours on s2 SpongeMaestro handle might have to return ! But really want to hear what naughty dog have been working on if a last of us 3 is Announced will be cracking open the wine !!! But would like to hear something new from then also that would be amazing
Splinter Cell remake + all previous titles coming to PS5.
I don’t have much money, but Sony can have it if they deliver the sneaky goods!
@Slippship almost all of them on the CPU side and sadly that is not what is upgrading in the Pro. So i guess we get better lighting and textures. Now if the CPU was getting a huge lift I would be all over it. But at the moment the PS5 and Series X are showing the CPU yet again like last gen is just to weak to handle the fidelity on screen.
Can't wait for the PS5 Pro then we can get a whole show of remakes and remasters yet again...
Keep expectations low after last year, however with the exit of Jim Ryan it may be a good one as they would most likely want to embolden the new head. Giving us a good showcase would definitely do that.
Please show me Suikoden Remaster release date on this showcase!
