Sony is set to unveil its next State of Play* presentation on February 12, 2026, promising a marathon of gameplay, announcements, and exclusives spanning over 60 minutes. The event will spotlight upcoming third-party and indie titles for the PS5, alongside fresh developments from PlayStation Studios, offering a rare glimpse into the console’s next wave of content.

Viewers can tune in via YouTube and Twitch, with English narration and Japanese subtitles available. Unlike previous events, this iteration is designed to emphasize both the breadth of Sony’s first-party slate and the growing diversity of indie and third-party support on the platform.
