How to watch Sony's State of Play live stream: PlayStation event's start time tonight
A 30-minute video presentation with more than 20 PS5 and PSVR 2 games is on the way.
A new PlayStation State of Play event is happening. Four months after the last one premiered, we're set for a bumper presentation filled with lots of new upcoming games for PlayStation 5 and PSVR 2.
While Sony naturally likes to keep its announcements quiet, we have plenty to speculate about thanks to the numerous rumours, leaks and reports from journalists over the last few months.
The platform maker also teased what fans can expect – most notably mentioning that "more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PSVR 2 games from studios around the world" will feature as part of a 30-minute live stream. So, plenty to get excited about.
With not long to go, here's everything you need to know about Sony's upcoming State of Play, including its air time and date, where to watch, as well what we expect to see.
When is the next PlayStation State of Play? What time is it in the UK?
Sony has confirmed that the next PlayStation State of Play live stream will take place on Tuesday 24th September 2024. It will start at 11pm BST for those in the UK.
For those outside of the UK, the State of Play will begin on 24th September at 3pm PT/6pm ET and 25th September at 12am CEST/7am JST.
The latest PlayStation State of Play was announced one day in advance of airing, with Sony confirming that "more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PSVR 2 games" will be shown in a 30-minute broadcast.

Which games will be shown in the PlayStation State of Play?
Let's start with the most likely: A remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn. The 2017 action adventure starring now Sony fan-favourite Aloy was rated by the ESRB (via Eurogamer) in September after months of rumours and speculation that the game is getting an upgrade for next-gen.
Sony also pulled the game from its PS Plus line-up in May this year, with VGC reporting as early as October 2022 that a remaster is in the works. Sony may use this opportunity to sell players on a PS5 Pro. Lord knows it needs it.
The crazy thing about this is that Lego Horizon Adventures is scheduled for Q4 2024, meaning there's a chance we get two versions of the same game within the same period.
Oh, and there are also rumours (via Insider Gaming) surrounding a Days Gone remaster. That seems less likely, but who knows? Sony does seem to love its remasters this generation.

Another strong possibility is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, with Hideo Kojima set to show off the highly anticipated sequel during Tokyo Game Show.
The game is scheduled to launch sometime in 2025, so a concrete release date could be announced. Or potentially the introduction of a new character.
Kojima frequently meets with celebrities and shares their interaction on social media – Fallout's Ella Purnell being one the most recent. As long as we see more of that living puppet, we'll be happy.
Resident Evil has been on a roll in recent years, having consistently released new entries from 2019 to 2023. 2024 has been the first absence, so rumours have pointed to Resident Evil 9 arriving in 2025.
We know Sony and Capcom have a close relationship, so an announcement or some form of teaser is not out of the realm of possibility. What we do know is that Resident Evil: Biohazard director Kōshi Nakanishi is helming the next project in the RE universe, which was confirmed as part of Capcom Next in July 2024.
Considering Astro Bot just launched, a new update or even some DLC could be on the cards. Maybe a PSVR 2 tie-in of some sort, since that's where the adorable character originated from.
Keeping with PSVR 2, another Resident Evil coming to the platform could be another shout, or maybe we just see further trailers for Alien: Rogue Incursion and the Arizona Sunshine Ramke. Either way, we wouldn't get our hopes up for much from PSVR 2 going off Sony's support.
Some things we can rule out are anything major from Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica and Insomniac Games. Any projects from these studios will most probably be held for a proper PlayStation Showcase. That said, they might appear to show off older titles running on PS5 Pro.
Likewise, a Sonic trailer may appear for Sonic X Shadow Generation, but a Sonic Central is happening a few hours beforehand (5pm BST), so that likely negates it showing up somewhat.
Lastly, Metal Gear might rear its head again. A firm release date for Snake Eater or the unveiling of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2 are some examples.
Whatever the case, we don't have long to wait to find out. Remember to tune in at 11pm BST to watch the State of Play live.
