Sony’s State of Play event happens semi-regularly whenever the company has big news or product announcements about PlayStation. The inaugural event was in 2019; since that first one, Sony has held several more events in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

What Are the Dates for the Next Sony State of Play Event?

The most recent State of Play was on September 13. It covered updates for games coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR 2 hardware.

We'll update here once we have details of the next event.
