SUMMARY
- PlayStation State of Play is an event for PlayStation to make announcements regarding new titles.
- State of Play for 2024 may have been leaked by a leaker, along with the contents.
Although it’s just the first month of the year, it looks like gaming companies are on their toes to stay ahead of the game. If rumors are to be believed, PlayStation may close January 2024 with its much anticipated State of Play event.
PlayStation’s State of Play events are known to arrive with sacks full of new announcements and content for the PlayStation audience. Likewise, the upcoming rumored event is also expected to spill details about multiple new game announcements.
Notably, Sony PlayStation’s competitor, Microsoft Xbox also hosted its own event named Xbox Developer Direct earlier this month. The event was packed with exciting new announcements and game previews of Indiana Jones and Hellblade 2 among others.
When is PlayStation State of Play?
Recently, a gaming industry insider, XboxEra co-founder Nick Baker, who goes by the pseudo name ‘Shpeshal_Nick’ posted a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter). As per the post, the PlayStation State of Play may take place just before the month ends on January 31, 2024.
On the 31st (roughly), Ronins will Rise, we’ll die stranded, have a rebirth and Kojima will fulfil his dream. Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation while the hills will remain silent until the dawn when you’ll need to catch the metro. Just don’t be a Judas about it.

It must be noted that this is just a leaked or speculated date. Sony or PlayStation has yet to confirm the exact date. Thus it must be taken with a grain of salt.

Besides fans can also expect announcements on more titles in addition to the leaked ones. This State of Play event could also reveal potential release dates, previews, or simple but significant updates on the games under development in Sony’s gaming factory.
It remains to be seen if the date and the content of the event turn out to be true or just another rumor. If it is indeed true, 2024 promises to be a big year for both Xbox and PlayStation.
The last State of Play event, held in Septemeber 2023 was one of the best showcase events by the gaming giant. PlayStation revealed a glimpse of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and many more during the event.
