How to watch February’s PlayStation State of Play

PlayStation has announced a new livestream presentation where it will show off new and previously announced upcoming games.

Sony has announced a new State of Play presentation, where the PlayStation maker is expected to show off a host of new and previously announced games.

The presentation is set to take place later this week, and will reportedly last for about 45 minutes. Approximately 15 minutes of that will be dedicated to an extended look at the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League from Batman Arkham developer Rocksteady.

Sony also says that there will be five new titles for the PlayStation VR2 from third-party partners, as well as “hot indie and third-party reveals”. The PlayStation VR2 recently released in Australia, and has been criticised by some for costing more than the PS5 console required to use it.

Launch games were revealed for the $900 PlayStation 5 accessory last month, and sported very few big hitters. Sony’s first-party efforts are largely limited to just two games, Horizon Call of the Mountain and Gran Turismo 7.

One thing that is notably missing from PlayStation’s list is first-party titles made by Sony and its studios. It’s not known if this means they’ll be absent from the show, or if Sony is just keeping their inclusion a surprise.

Sony Japan says that the show will feature “premiere information, updates, and gameplay footage from 16 new PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation VR2”. With the five games slated for VR2, and the information about the Suicide Squad game, that leaves ten games yet to be revealed.
