There are several highlights in the bunch. God of War: Ragnarök continues the story of Kratos and Atreus through the backdrop of Norse mythology, while Like a Dragon Gaiden tells even more of Kazuma Kiryu’s saga after he faked his own death.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand lets you experience the game with all of the bonus content from the Reign of Sand expansion added in, including a New Game+ mode and newer quests.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available, too, just in time to play through its final story update. Fair warning: the update has caused no small amount of controversy, and fans are divided.

The rest of the titles are older or just flew under the radar a bit more, but they’re all worth checking out. Citizen Sleeper is a must-play for fans of narrative-driven cyberpunk games, while Poker Club is just a fun way to pass the time and polish up your Texas hold ’em skills before that next trip to Vegas.

Everything announced at PlayStation’s June 2025 State of Play

A samurai fights a boss in Nioh 3.

Summer game reveal season began today. While Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase will have our attention this weekend, Sony kicked things off with a PS5 showcase that was very juicy. After all, the back half of 2025 was a bit of a mystery for Sony heading into today's stream. We knew that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Marathon, and Ghost of Yotei would be the system's biggest upcoming games, but we saw a whole lot more during a loaded 40 minute stream.

After kicking off with a surprise Lumines revival, Sony showed off a rapid fire collection of trailers. That included highly anticipated games like Pragmata and big surprises like Nioh 3. We even got a Final Fantasy Tactics remake, which likely wasn't on your State of Play bingo card. If you missed the stream, you can catch up on every announcement below.

The Witcher 4 runs at 60 FPS and has ray-tracing even on the base PlayStation 5

At the State of Unreal 2025 event, CDProjekt Red revealed the first real look at The Witcher 4 gameplay. While it was a limited demo primarily focused on the improvements to Unreal Engine 5, we did get a solid look at how the game runs, even on a base PlayStation 5, and all the small ways tweaks and optimizations have been applied to make the game look as good as it does.

And that's the biggest takeaway from the demo: it looks really good. The presentation opened with a new trailer for the game, showing a rather grumpy merchant in a wagon traveling down a bumpy road, only to have his journey cut short by the appearance of a Manticore. Ciri later finds the remnants of the attack, and then we see a smooth transition from cutscene to gameplay.
