PlayStation State of Play coming this month, claims insider

Back in January we saw Microsoft go live with a developer direct, giving Xbox players some insight into a number of upcoming games – as well as the surprise announcement and immediate release of Hi-Fi Rush. PlayStation has been rather quiet so far in 2023, though this is set to change with a State of Play stream seemingly set for later this month.

Though no official announcement has been made, as part of the latest episode of Jeff Grubb’s podcast the industry insider claimed that “there’s gonna be a State of Play here pretty soon.”

Immediately following this however Grubb set expectations, saying “now don’t get your hopes up too high, because apparently it’s gonna be a pretty lacklus– it’s gonna be a pretty like low-key State of Play.”

At the time, Grubb stated that the showcase was expected to happen some time within the next month, though he later took to Twitter to offer a more precise window, saying “I see people keep saying March for the State of Play, but I think it's more likely to happen before the end of February.”

While some people may be disappointed by its state as a ‘low-key’ event, Grubb did claim that a full-fledged ‘PlayStation Showcase’ will follow at some point before E3 time, and so we will see a “1-2 punch” strategy by the console manufacturer beginning hopefully later this month.
