PlayStation used its most recent State of Play showcase to make it clear where its focus is. After a series of costly live-service stumbles, it's getting back to focusing on premium, narrative-driven, single-player games. That statement was made clear with how it started and ended the hourlong show.

The showcase began with an extended look at gameplay from Marvel's Wolverine, the new superhero title from Insomniac Games. Over seven minutes of bloody action, Logan sliced and diced his way through a bunch of baddies as he tried to rescue some captured mutants, briefly teaming up with Jean Grey for some help taking them down. Insomniac is well …

The PS5 era has been in some ways disappointing for Sony – on Tuesday, the company revealed a slate of games they hope will change that

PlayStation’s future has looked a little uncertain these past few years. Although the PS5 has sold well and been very profitable, the brand is far from the runaway market leader it was in the PS2 days. Earlier this week, Game File dug into Sony’s most recent earnings reports to illustrate how PlayStation has been selling fewer and fewer of its own flagship games since a peak during the pandemic. About 54.1m copies of games either developed or published by Sony were sold in the 2018 financial year; in 2025, it sold 32.1m.

Sony has put out some great homegrown games since the PS5 was released in 2020, from Astro Bot to Ghost of Yōtei, but it has also had some expensive and very public failures and cancellations; PlayStation boss Jim Ryan, who retired in 2024, placed big bets on live-service games and only a few panned out (hello, Helldivers). Sony also seems to have rolled back on releasing its single-player PS5 games on PC after a polite interval of time, suggesting it wants to preserve what advantage and exclusivity it has.

Control Resonant, the upcoming sequel to Remedy Entertainment's Control, will be released on September 24th, 2026, according to a trailer that premiered during Tuesday's PlayStation State of Play show.

The trailer also gave a preview of the game's story, which stars Dylan Faden, who was imprisoned for much of the first game. He will be the "sole playable character," Remedy's Mikael Kasurinen says in a blog post, but his sister Jesse, who was the protagonist of Control, also "shapes the path" in Resonant.

"In Resonant, we go further into the Fadens' complicated past. Their lives have been anything but easy, and the cost of what they carry i …

At its big State of Play show on Tuesday, Sony shared new look Marvel's Wolverine, the next big title from Insomniac Games that's launching exclusively on PS5 on September 15th. Dressed in the iconic yellow Wolverine outfit, Logan slunk around and stabbed his way through a bunch of enemies, using his blades to take them out. Combat looked weighty and satisfying - though the game is extremely bloody, with red flying everywhere as Logan fought his opponents.

Wolverine has been a long time coming, with Sony and Insomniac initially announcing the game all the way back in 2021. At the time, details were scarce. But Sony finally showed off some …

While the majority of Summer Game Fest takes place over the weekend, Sony is getting a jump on things with its next State of Play showcase, which airs on June 2nd at 5PM ET. It’s coming at a pivotal time for the PlayStation brand: The PS5 keeps getting more expensive and Sony’s big bet on live-service games has largely fallen flat. A good showing at SGF won’t fix everything, but it could help show that PlayStation is on the right path moving forward.

For its part, Sony says its latest State of Play will feature “more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world.” The only confirmed part of the event’s lineup is Wolverine, from Spider-Man developer Insomniac, which is slated to launch in September. But given the length of the stream, there’ll be plenty more detailed. Maybe we’ll see the just-announced third expansion for The Witcher 3, or the long-awaited final installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, or some more of Intergalactic, the next big project from The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog. It’s also likely the event will provide some insight into the uncertain future of Marathon.

Whatever Sony shows, you can watch along on YouTube or Twitch, or follow along with the latest developments right here.
