Overview
- Sony announced on Monday that two consecutive State of Play livestreams will air Thursday, Sept. 3, with the main global show immediately followed by a Japan-focused stream.
- The main State of Play will start at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET and will stream on PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
- Sony confirmed the global broadcast will conclude with an extended look at Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Revelation, which is due in early 2027.
- State of Play Japan will be hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, presented in Japanese with English subtitles, and will focus on games from studios in Japan and Asia.
- Sony has not released runtimes or a full game lineup, which has generated broad media and fan speculation about other first- and third-party appearances and could shape how audiences receive the shows given current tensions around PlayStation’s recent policy decisions.
