The anticipated PlayStation event for May 2024 has been revealed, and while it’s not the Showcase some fans expected, it will be a State of Play centered on upcoming game titles. Those expecting news regarding a PS5 Pro will need to wait, as this event focuses solely on gaming content.
Schedule and Expectations for PlayStation State of Play May 2024
Highlighted in the State of Play are titles for PS5 and the new PSVR 2. Sony is set to display exclusive games from PlayStation Studios that are slated for release “later this year.” This seems to verify the speculation surrounding a new Astro Bot game set for 2024. Additionally, Firewalk Studios’ multiplayer title Concord has a scheduled launch date for this year.
The event is imminent, occurring on May 30 at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET. For international viewers, this corresponds to May 31 12 a.m. CEST / 7 a.m. JST. The presentation, which will last over half an hour, will be broadcast live through PlayStation’s YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok channels.
An embedded livestream will be available on PlayStation LifeStyle for our audience, so keep an eye out for updates.
My previous skepticism towards industry insiders has been challenged with this announcement, albeit the longing for a full-fledged Showcase remains unfulfilled.
