When is the next PlayStation State of Play 2026?
At the time of writing, Sony has not officially announced the date of the next State of Play. However, based on previous years, PlayStation typically hosts multiple showcases throughout the year.
Next State of Play 2026 events will probably be scheduled:

- Around major gaming periods (such as June showcases)
