PlayStation State Of Play Confirmed for June 2
Overview & Key Takeaways
As the summer gaming season starts to heat up, Sony has announced a new State of Play Showcase for June 2 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.
This will be one of the bigger State of Play livestreams of the year, clocking in at 60 minutes and kicking off with a new look at Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game alongside "updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals" from other studios across the world. As usual, the showcase can be watched live through the official PlayStation YouTube and Twitch channels.
Alongside State of Play, June is shaping up to be a busy month for gaming showcases. Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest lands on June 5 and will be followed by Day of Devs, while June 6 has a triple-threat of showcases in the form of Wholesome Direct, the Future Games Summer Showcase, and the PC Gaming Show.

June 7 appears to be reserved exclusively for Microsoft, as the annual Xbox Gaming Showcase will be held that day. While Sony's State of Play has Marvel's Wolverine confirmed as its console-exclusive main event--which launches on September 15--Microsoft's counter-programming will be a fresh look at Gears of War: E-Day, followed by a deep dive into the upcoming game from The Coalition. Nintendo has yet to announce any June Direct livestream, although it normally reveals showcase dates at the last minute.
Sony has also reportedly made a change to how it releases exclusives, as the company is said to be keeping its single-player games exclusive to PS5. It does have a few more exclusives which haven't seen the light of day in quite some time, like Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and FairGame$, while the Horizon universe is set to expand with the release of Horizon Hunters Gathering.
Arc System Works' next fighting game, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls could also make an appearance as its August 6 release date draws nearer, and we wouldn't be too surprised if third-party studios choose to debut a new game during the livestream.
