Overview
- Sony announced on Monday that two State of Play streams will air back-to-back on Thursday, September 3, starting at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET and streaming on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
- PlayStation confirmed the first show will end with an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation presented by Square Enix, and that the Japan-focused stream will follow immediately after.
- The Japan broadcast will be hosted in Japanese by voice actor Yuki Kaji and will include English subtitles while showcasing games from Japan and other Asian studios.
- Sony has not released run times or a full slate of games beyond the Final Fantasy VII Revelation segment, so media and community expectations for other first- and third-party appearances remain speculative.
- The September double feature continues PlayStation’s pattern of holding a State of Play before Tokyo Game Show and arrives while a community protest over PlayStation’s end of disc production is still ongoing, which could shape fan response to the streams.
