Ps State Of Play

State of Play is a series of video programs by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) that showcases upcoming games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR, and PlayStation VR2 platforms[1]. These broadcasts allow Sony to communicate directly with consumers about new software, hardware, and updates in the PlayStation ecosystem[1].

History and Format:

• Sony introduced the State of Play format in March 2019 as a way to engage with the PlayStation community through direct-to-consumer broadcasts, similar to Nintendo's Nintendo Direct[1]. This initiative marked a shift in Sony's marketing strategy, moving away from large industry events like E3 in favor of digital presentations[1].
• State of Play broadcasts vary in length and content, typically featuring announcements such as new game reveals, gameplay footage, updates on previously announced titles, and hardware announcements[1]. These broadcasts are available on platforms like YouTube and Twitch[1]. Sony also occasionally holds PlayStation Showcase events to announce new first-party titles from their internal PlayStation Studios, but has begun announcing these in the regular State of Play broadcasts as well[1].
