Overview & Key Takeaways

State of Play returns June 2 with a new games showcase led by Marvel's Wolverine. Here's how and when to watch Sony's next State of Play.

Summer gaming season is almost here, and it looks like PlayStation will be first out of the gate. Sony Interactive Entertainment announced Wednesday that a new State of Play games showcase is coming on June 2, and it will offer an extended look at Insomniac Games' upcoming superhero game, Marvel's Wolverine.

PlayStation's new State of Play will stream on Tuesday, June 2. The showcase promises "more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world," said Tim Turi, content communications manager at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The next State of Play will stream on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels at 2 p.m. PDT / 5 p.m. EDT / 11 p.m. CEST (and at 6 a.m. JST on June 3 in Japan).

What to expect from June's State of Play

Beyond Marvel's Wolverine, Sony hasn't confirmed any other PlayStation 5 games for June's State of Play. SIE's first-party studios have a handful of announced games in the works, including Santa Monica Studio's God of War trilogy remake, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Guerrilla Games' Horizon Hunters Gathering. Sony is also rumored to be working on a new God of War spinoff game and a modern version of the Infamous franchise.

Sony's most recent State of Play was in February and featured third-party games like Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Beast of Reincarnation, Kena: Scars of Kosmora, Silent Hill: Downfall, Project Windless, 4:Loop, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. While PlayStation fans shouldn't expect major updates on every one of those titles, there's a good chance we get another look at them or some confirmed release dates. Here's a recap of everything that was announced at February's State of Play.

In terms of third parties, we're still waiting for updates on games from Sony's close partners, including Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake's third chapter, and Capcom's new Onimusha and Mega Man entries.

One thing we shouldn't count on at this State of Play, though: more single-player PC ports of first-party PlayStation 5 games.

No bloody Marvel adventures for you, PC players

The New Gundam Game Has A Collector’s Edition Just For Gunpla Sickos Like Me

Gundam Rogue Orbit(https://www.gamespot.com/games/gundam-rogue-orbit/) is a break from tradition for Bandai Namco, as new entries in the franchise typically debut as an anime series first, then as a line of collectible model kits. But this Gundam is arriving first as a video game--one that was shown in more detail today during the September PlayStation State of Play broadcast(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-september-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-games-and-trailers/). If you're a Gundam fan, fret not, because at least one part of the traditional Gundam experience is being kept intact if you buy the $160 Rogue Orbit collector's edition. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Gundam-CE.jpg?w=636) Gundam Rogue Orbit Collector's Edition Like other special editions from Bandai Namco, Gundam Rogue Orbit combines a physical copy of the game with a few physical in-game goodies. It's the inclusion of a High-Grade model kit based on the new Gundam Helix mobile suit that could make this collector's edition sought after, as it will be exclusive to the game. Gundam model kits aren't usually hard to come by as Bandai Namco regularly keeps store shelves restocked with them, but the HG Helix model looks like a rare exception to that rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiPllyLIvSo If you are planning to grab one, it's worth noting that HG Gundam model kits are 1/144-scale figures and are designed to appeal to casual builders with their moderate detail, minimal foil stickers, and durable design. You won't need too many tools to build one either, and the Helix design features a lot of panels and other mechanical details, so that could be a nice kit to build. The new trailer for the game also teased other shells that you can apply to the Helix to shake up its look, including an RX-78-2 skin and a red Zaku-inspired look that would make Char Aznable proud. Aside from the model, you'll also get a poster, reversible cover art, a pack of five promo cards, a steel case for the game disc, and DLC that includes 14 different color patterns for the Helix in the game. You won't have to wait too much longer to play it, as Gundam Rogue Orbit launches on March 5, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
