Sony State of Play: when is the next PlayStation event and what to expect?Our expectations for the next State of Play

Sony State of Play is a semi-regular digital event, showcasing the biggest and latest PlayStation news, updates, reveals and announcements.

Since the showcase began in 2019, we've seen Sony use State of Play to reveal The Last of Us 2 release date, debut gameplay footage for Ghost of Tsushima, and drop new trailers for games including Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Returnal. So it's always worth tuning in to State of Play for the latest, big announcements on PS5 games, PSVR games and PS4 games.

Sony has confirmed the next State of Play will take place on April 29 and will focus on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, plus two upcoming indie games. Read on for everything we know about the latest State of Play and what we expect to see.

Sony's next State of Play event kicks off on April 29 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST (or April 30 at 7am AEST) and will focus primarily on new Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart gameplay - plus updates on two upcoming indie games. 

The last State of Play (episode 8) took place on February 25, 2021, with the one prior to that taking place on August 6, 2020. While last year, the interim between these showcases was filled with some PS5 specific events, typically we see State of Play taking place every three or four months - and ahead of upcoming big releases. 

Given that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is set to release on June 11, in less than two months' time, it's unsurprising that another State of Play is taking place just two months after the previous one.

According to Sony, this State of Play event is mostly going to focus on the upcoming Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart – due to release on June 11. 

The event will showcase 15 minutes of new Ratchet and Clank gameplay, which should hopefully give us a closer look at new playable character, female Lombax Rivet, who was officially revealed in a new trailer on April 26.

In addition, we're expecting Sony to provide updates on two upcoming indie games. While we don't know exactly which games will feature, we're expecting that the possibilities could include Jett: The Far Shore, Goodbye Volcano High, Solar Ash, Stray, Little Devil Inside, Heavenly Bodies, Recompile, or Nour: Play With Your Food. 

What was revealed at the last Sony State of Play?

Sony's most recent State of Play live stream took place on February 25 and focused on third-party games. The event focused on 10 games in total, across both PS4 and PS5, and included a deep dive of the PS5 enhancements coming to Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, a closer look at Returnal, a release date for Oddworld: Soulstorm (and the news it will be a free PS Plus game for April) plus the debut of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. 

In addition, we got a look at Solar Ash gameplay, a new trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, the announcement of Slopcap's SIFU and a look at Knockout City gameplay.
