This has been a hectic month for Sony. It hit massive highs with the reception of Astro Bot and the reveal of the PlayStation 5 Pro but also saw astronomical lows with the shuttering of Concord and backlash toward the PS5 Pro’s $700 price tag. Now, it’s capping off this month with a new State of Play ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2024.

It will feature over 20 PS5 and PlayStation VR2 games, so PlayStation fans should definitely plan on tuning in. For those planning on doing so, I’ve rounded up all the pertinent information on how to watch and what to expect from the September 2024 State of Play.

What to expect from the September 2024 State of Play

The official description for September 24’s State of Play says it will feature “news and updates on more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world.” On the Sony-published game front, games like Until Dawn’s remake, Lego Horizon Adventures, and Death Stranding 2: On The Beach may appear here. Lego Horizon Adventures, in particular, is supposed to launch this year but doesn’t have a release date, so that’s a very likely announcement.

On the leaks and rumors front, an ESRB listing for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was spotted recently, so it may show up here. There are bound to be some unpredictable third-party surprises for PS5 and PSVR2 here as well, so this State of Play is shaping up to be quite exciting. Hopefully, after watching this State of Play, we will have a very clear idea of what to expect on Sony’s platforms throughout fall 2024 and early 2025.

PlayStation VR2 has been murdered. The culprit: Astro Bot.

My favorite announcement of Sony's May 30 State of Play was Astro Bot, a new 3D platformer from Team Asobi that celebrates PlayStation history. It looks incredibly charming and stands out from the typical narrative-action games like Stellar Blade that Sony tends to release these days. That said, my excitement also comes with disappointment as it does not appear that the game will support PlayStation VR2. (Digital Trends reached out to Sony to confirm that was the case but has not gotten a response at the time of publishing this story.)

Sony's second State of Play presentation of the year just took place. It gave us a clearer look at what we can expect from PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2's video game lineup throughout the back half of 2024. That includes first-party games like Until Dawn's remake, Concord, and Astro Bot. Some impressive third-party titles like Dynasty Warriors Origins, Ballard of Antara, and Monster Hunter Wilds also showed up but had 2025 release windows.

If you play a lot of games on your PS5, you definitely won't want to miss anything that PlayStation Studios or any of its third-party partners revealed over the course of this State of Play. For your convenience, I rounded up every announcement made during this State of Play right here.

Sony is off to a fairly strong start in 2024, with games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Rise of the Ronin, and Stellar Blade, but the PS5's lineup for the back half of the year is still shrouded in mystery. Thankfully, a new State of Play stream is imminent. We're hoping that the 30-minute presentation gives us a new look at Until Dawn's remake and Firewalk Studios' multiplayer game Concord, as well as some surprises.

Although it isn't a full-blown PlayStation Showcase, it's definitely still worth tuning into for PS5 owners. If you're planning to do so, you're also probably wondering when and how to watch it. To help, we've rounded up all relevant information about the event so you can be ready when the livestream begins today.
When is May 2024's State of Play?
