PlayStation's State of Play returns for 2026. Here's how to watch.

Introduced in March 2019, the direct-to-consumer broadcasts, like Nintendo's Nintendo Direct, were designed to share updates, showcase upcoming games and engage with the PlayStation community in a more intimate format.

According to PlayStation, this year's State of Play is scheduled for Thursday, Feb 12.

"Tune in live this Thursday for reveals and news from developers around the globe," PlayStation said in a Feb. 9 blog post. "This State of Play will spotlight eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios."
